How to add a payment getaway to your website
0:03
Hey guys, welcome back to the YouTube channel. Today we will be taking a look at the different ways that you can add payment
0:10
getaways to your website and how you can start receiving money for your products and services. So let's get into it
0:17
Now payment getaways can be set up in multiple different manners. I will be focusing on Stripe today because Stripe enables you to create a
0:25
payment getaway for products, build invoices and have recurring subscription payments as well. So I just like to use Stripe and I just
0:33
set all of my payment getaways via Stripe and then I just put a hyperlink of the, you know, payment getaway
0:39
into my buy now buttons on my website and that enables me to save a lot of
0:43
time in making sure that everything is nice and set up and if I'm selling on Instagram, even if
0:50
I'm selling on a Facebook marketplace, if I'm selling on Etsy, you know, whatever platform that I'm choosing, if I'm selling on my own
0:57
website, if I'm just listing them on blogs or whatnot, my payment setup is
1:02
there and people can, you know, directly purchase the product. It's automated and I don't have to wait to receive my money and receive, you
1:10
know, the orders and, you know, do all that entire process. This just helps me. Now to get started with Stripe, all you have to do is create
1:17
your account. It can be created via your email address. It's very simple and easy and I will be discussing
1:24
later on the fees that Stripe detects. All kinds of payment methods will
1:28
detect a certain fee. So if you want to take a look at your payments, you have different fees for different
1:36
types of payments that you have. You can build, you know, a bunch of
1:40
different things. There are payment section. I will detail this later on in the video but to get started, you can see if I have
1:47
a WordPress dashboard over here, I can go into my plugins and click on
1:51
add new and I can click on yes allow it and I can just search for Stripe and
1:57
there are multiple different payment getaways that I can build with Stripe. Now I don't like to use these simply because I have to do like a
2:04
separate plugin. I have to, you know, learn this and set it up properly
2:08
but instead of doing that, just go into your WordPress pages or just go into your product and or just go into your pages
2:15
and when you're building your page and you add your buy now button, just when you add the buy now button, link it to your Stripe getaway page
2:24
Now on Stripe, we're going to begin by building our product. So you can see on Stripe on the top you have this navigation panel
2:31
and then on the top right you have online payment. So you can share a link to pay, you can set up payment, you can set up subscriptions
2:38
and you can create invoices for your customers as well. Invoices are great when you are offering services and once you complete the
2:45
services, you can send your invoice and get paid directly on Stripe
2:49
Now to get started, what I like to do is I like to go into product
2:53
and start adding my product. So I can click on add a product, let's say for
2:57
example I have sunglasses, just name it whatever it is, then you
3:01
can add your description and your image. You can also add additional options like a descriptor, unit label, metadata
3:08
feature list, all that. But I'm going to skip this, this is just a sample product. Then I have pricing, so you can set up
3:15
multiple different formats of pricing on Stripe as well. So you have basic
3:20
standard pricing and you have package pricing, then you have graduated pricing. So for the first unit it's going to be
3:27
this, for the last unit it's going to be that and then you have volume pricing
3:32
Volume pricing enables you to deduct or give discounts to larger volume
3:37
purchases if you offer a price like that and then you also can
3:41
do customer chooses price. But we're going to continue with our standard price, let's say it's 10 USD and then you can add whether this is
3:49
recurring or one-time. Now in recurring payments you can set yearly, custom, every three months, six months, monthly, weekly, daily
3:57
subscriptions. This is amazing if you're running subscription-based services or service boxes or products so on and so forth. But for us this is
4:05
going to be a one-time payment, so one-time payment and then you also have additional options if you want to add those
4:13
But once we have this we are just going to click on save product on the top
4:17
right of our screen and you guys can see my product has been
4:21
created. Now once I have created my product I can click on create a payment link and I have my payment page. So this is
4:28
what the payment page is going to look like and you can collect tax automatically, you can automate the calculations of
4:35
GST, VAT and sales taxes as well depending on how you are running your
4:40
business. If you are adding the cost of all of your sales taxes and all the taxes depending on the regulatory
4:48
bodies of your country, you've added all those costs into your direct product
4:52
price. If the product price is inclusive of all taxes you can write that. If you want to add more, if you want to
4:58
add the taxes separately that's totally up to you. You also have
5:02
custom fields that you can add into your payment getaway. So maybe you want to collect emails or you want to collect
5:08
maybe a detailed address or you know any of those fields you can add those as
5:12
well. Then you also have things such as promotional codes. Let's say I allow promotional codes
5:17
and maybe I want to save payment details for the future like so
5:23
And after that I have my after payment page. So this is going to be the
5:26
confirmation page and you can replace the default message with a custom one as
5:31
well. I don't want to do that and after that you have a post payment invoice. So you can create a invoice pdf that you can
5:37
send to your customers. That is totally up to you but I don't
5:41
want to do that. Once you do that you are just going to click on create link and just like that we have this little link and I can
5:48
hyperlink any of my buy now buttons on my WordPress website to directly this specific link and then
5:56
whenever customers are looking to buy my item they will click on the buy
6:00
now button and it will lead them to this basic Stripe checkout and it's a very simple and easy to use checkout
6:07
where people can add their information and continue on with their purchase
6:11
You also have links such as your buy now button and this is just a
6:15
code that you can add to your website. This will do the same thing. This is what
6:18
the buy now button will look like. If you want to change it up you also have change styling options and you can change the color like so
6:26
into whatever color fits your website's appearance. So I'm just going to exit this but this is how you can set up a basic and simple
6:35
payment getaway for your website. It doesn't require any coding. A lot of people worry about that and you know it can seem a lot
6:42
of the payment getaways are complicated but once you have done that you can see your payment methods on Stripe. So you can
6:49
click on manage and you can accept only certain types of payments on Stripe. That is totally up to you
6:55
So I've just clicked on that and you guys can see I have cards, I have wallets
6:59
and you can turn on all, you can turn on certain ones, you can turn them off. Let's say I want to
7:05
turn off maybe cash app. So I can click on that and then click on
7:10
turn off and then I can no longer accept cash app payments via
7:14
my website and you have multiple different payment providers and then you have a preview
7:20
Now after this once you've set all this up you are ready to you know accept payments and get started
7:26
with your business. Now other than that you also can click on create and you can click on a payment one-time charge. So you have a
7:35
one-time charge you can add the customer information. This can be amazing. If you have a service that you provided
7:41
you can send them a payment method or if you have received any services
7:46
you can send a one-time payment to you the people that you have received
7:49
services from. Now you guys can see over here this is the stripe pricing that I said that I would discuss later on
7:56
So on card, on online payments they charge a 2.9 percent of the overall cost plus 30 cents and then in-person payments to
8:05
terminal are 2.7 percent with five cents charged. Then for wallet payments it's pretty standard it's 2.9 and 30 cents
8:14
and for bank debits and transfers if it's a CH card it's one dollar
8:18
per a CH card payment. If it's a wire transfer it's eight dollars per payment and then if it's a CH debit card it's capped at
8:26
0.8 percent for with the maximum at five dollars and then you also have one dollar and
8:33
50 cents per instant bank account validation. You also have international payment methods where the charges are different
8:40
So if you are shipping internationally there are going to be different charges
8:44
You can go through this entire page just to make sure that everything is good for you. You can see they also have Klarna and Afterpay
8:52
available which are now two of the most popular installment-based payment services. So if you are providing installment-based payments
8:59
you can choose these methods as well and the charges for these are slightly higher. So if it's payment in four to three
9:06
installments for Klarna it's 5.9 percent with 30 cents and with Afterpay it's six percent with 30 cents. So I
9:13
hope you guys found this video helpful and you are now able to get started with
9:17
setting up your own payment getaway. Make sure to leave a like and subscribe
