Here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to set up a payment processor, create a new product and add a checkout button to your Weebly site so you can start accepting payments online.

In Summary, we'll go over:

Let's dive right in.

How to set up Square, Stripe or Paypal

First, login to your Weebly dashboard.

On the left side bar, head to Settings ➞ Checkout.

Head over to the checkout page

In the checkout settings page you should see the following payment options:

Out of the 3 checkout options you can set up up to 2 at the same time. You can always set up Paypal but you will have to choose either Square or Stripe as they're both competing payment processors.

The process to set up each of them is similar. You have to:

  1. Choose a checkout option.
  2. Login to your Square, Stripe, or Paypal account.
  3. Authorize Weebly to connect with the chosen payment processor.

In this tutorial we'll just go over the setup process for connecting Stripe to your Weebly account.

Click the Connect button for Stripe.

That's it!

You've now created a product that allows you to accept payment on your Weebly site.

Whether you're selling a product (physical or digital), service, membership or accepting donation, your customers can send you a payment via credit card or Paypal.

Weebly will automatically set up the entire checkout workflow for you.

Here's how the Weebly checkout flow looks like when a customer purchase one of your products:

Weebly product page

The add to cart page

Payment details and checkout validation page

Weebly will automatically create an order and the payment processor will validate the credit card details for your customer for you.

After you've set up the checkout pages it's recommended that you also set up the fulfilment (pickup and shipping for physical products), communication details (emails to be sent after a purchase), and abandoned carts.
