Hey there. We'll be taking a look at how to connect a payment gateway to your website.

2
00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:15.860
By doing this, you'll be able to start accepting payments from anyone who is purchasing something on your website, such as a membership plan, and that transaction will be processed through whichever payment gateway you choose to use.

3
00:00:15.975 --> 00:00:16.875
So in our website's admin

4
00:00:17.175 --> 00:00:20.155
area, let's head into Finance and Payment Settings.

5
00:00:22.215 --> 00:00:27.195
We support some of the most popular payment gateways, such as PayPal, Stripe, authorize.net,

6
00:00:27.975 --> 00:00:29.355
To Checkout, and more.

7
00:00:29.670 --> 00:00:31.910
In this video, we'll be focusing on Stripe.

8
00:00:31.910 --> 00:00:39.290
It's the most stable option with free sign up, no monthly fees, relatively low transaction rates, and support for most currencies.

9
00:00:39.750 --> 00:00:44.570
The first thing we'll do is select the Stripe option from the Connect Your Payment Gateway drop down.

10
00:00:45.435 --> 00:00:46.655
Now, we'll go to stripe.com

11
00:00:47.035 --> 00:00:51.375
to log in to our Stripe account or create an account if we don't already have one.

12
00:00:51.915 --> 00:01:14.665
Since this is a brand new Stripe account, we can see here that Stripe is prompting us to add business details to activate our account, so we'll click start now, and here's where we'll need to enter those business details, including the primary account holder's basic info, your bank account details, a brief description of your business, in this case, I'll simply say that I have a membership website, as well as some other information.

13
00:01:15.045 --> 00:01:17.465
Now Stripe does have their own support documentation

14
00:01:17.765 --> 00:01:26.745
and video tutorials that will walk you through all of this if you find that you need some help or if Stripe happens to update any of their setup process after we publish this video.

15
00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:31.140
So I'm going to go through this process myself, and I'll be back with you in just a second.

16
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:31.840
Okay.

17
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:36.659
So I went ahead and added the business details to my Stripe account, and it only took a couple minutes.

18
00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:42.500
Next, what we can do, in the left hand menu, let's click on developers, and then API keys.

19
00:01:42.715 --> 00:01:46.575
Here, Stripe will provide us with a publishable key and a secret key.

20
00:01:46.635 --> 00:01:52.335
We need to copy the publishable key and go back into our website's admin area to paste it where prompted,

21
00:01:52.715 --> 00:01:55.215
and we'll do the same thing with the secret key,

22
00:01:58.100 --> 00:01:59.960
and we'll click save and continue.

23
00:02:02.020 --> 00:02:05.799
And that's all there is to it. We can see that Stripe is active on our website.

24
00:02:05.860 --> 00:02:14.495
And just to make sure, if we go to the front end of the website and we go to the pricing page, we can select one of our plans, which will take us to a checkout page,

25
00:02:14.875 --> 00:02:20.335
and here, we can see Stripe's secure credit card input field, letting us know that we've set up Stripe correctly.

26
00:02:20.635 --> 00:02:33.670
If we go back into our website's admin area, we can then go to transaction history within finance, and here is where we can keep track of all the transactions that have taken place on our website, including payments received, upcoming payments,

27
00:02:33.970 --> 00:02:36.870
past dues, refunds, and stopped payments.

28
00:02:37.405 --> 00:02:41.185
As you can see, this was a very simple process that should only take a few minutes.

29
00:02:41.485 --> 00:02:53.490
Stripe does require quite a bit of business information from you if you are creating a new account with them, but that's only to comply with government regulations, and you don't need to have a registered business in order create a Stripe account.

30
00:02:53.630 --> 00:02:54.530
So congratulations.

31
00:02:54.830 --> 00:02:57.730
You're now ready to start accepting payments on your website.

32
00:02:57.950 --> 00:03:00.510

33
00:03:00.510 --> 00:03:03.170
