FORM PAYMENTS

"Now, finally onto payments here. As I've said, your forms can take payments, so you need to give it a payment gateway. Well, we've got a few different types of gateway. Now, if ever in doubt, you're best off using Stripe, it is the easiest to set up. Now, when you set up Stripe, it will ask for a live API key. It also gives you a test API key as well, but make sure it's a live key. So, this will start with SK_live_ and then your ID. So, make sure you put in your live API key. You can put your currency, whether it's Australian dollars or US dollars, and then the payment type. Is this a one time only payment? So, are you just accepting $9 once? Or if it's a subscription, are you requesting $9 a month?

So, we've got one time and subscription. Now with your credit card form, you can do two things. You can put the credit card information on the same page below, or you could have it appending next. So, this will put a next step. So, you've got their customer information, they'll go next, and then the credit card will appear. So, the very simple way to take payments. So, the only thing I'll show you now, and we'll come onto integrations in later episodes, we're going to have a whole section on integrations. Integrations just mean do you want this form to go into your CRM, or do you want it to go into another CRM like MailChimp lists and things like that?

So, look out for that in the integrations, but anyone that fills in this form, you can send them to say a MailChimp list, which is super, super useful. So, I'll just show you now how we set up a payment type. So, what I'm going to do is go back into the form and I'm actually going to add a pricing field. So, what I can do now is add a new field, and in this case I might decide to choose a dropdown. And now what I want to do is give it a price. So, I can say something like $9 per month. And then on a new line, I could say 49 per month. And then on the next line I could say 79 per month. Now I can set this as a price, and at which point it creates a pricing table. So, now over on the front end, the customer can check one of these and then it will apply that credit card information so that they can submit it. And that is everything that I want to show you on the forms episode."
