How do I take payments on my website with PayPal or Stripe?



User: Paul-RAGESW 2 days ago
EverWeb has three payment widgets. Each makes a payment button for a product, a donation or a subscription, and your visitor pays on PayPal's or Stripe's own checkout page.

PayPal Modern: needs a PayPal business account and its Client ID. One product per button, with options, quantity, shipping, tax and discounts, or a subscription.
PayPal (Legacy): needs only your PayPal email address. Good for a simple shopping cart or a Donate button.
Stripe Payment: needs a Stripe account and its Secret Key. Card payments for a product, a subscription or a donation; the product and price are set up in Stripe.

To add one, drag it from the Widgets tab onto your page, fill in Inspector > Widget Settings and choose a Thank You page and a Cancel page from your website.

In EverWeb 4.6 and later, a Contact Form Advanced can also take payments, with the Contact Forms Enhanced add-on. It suits orders, bookings and registrations where you also need details from the buyer.

Before you go live: make sure your site uses HTTPS, test the payment (Stripe has a test key starting with sk_test_), and pay on the published page, since payments don't work in Preview.

Need stock control and many products? A shop service such as Shopify or Etsy, linked or embedded on your page, is a better fit.
