Connect payment methods

Before you can start selling, you'll need a PayPal and/or Stripe account. You'll connect one or both methods for your store checkout.

Stripe

Connect Stripe to offer Apple Pay, Google Pay, and credit card checkout options.

PayPal

Connect PayPal to offer customers PayPal, credit card, and various local options like iDeal.


It's helpful to know that payment processors charge a small fee per transaction. It's typically around 2.9% plus 30 cents. For specifics, please check with the payment processor.

Selecting a plan

Once your store is set up and you're ready to sell to customers, you'll choose a plan. There are three plans available, offered as either monthly or yearly subscriptions.

Choosing a yearly plan will save some money. If you're unsure of committing to a year, you can always start with a monthly plan and upgrade to a yearly plan later.
