Professional & Premium Edition Gateways

Manual (Bill Later) Payments

Also known as Direct Deposit or Bill Later method, this system can be enabled/disabled along with a custom message. ?The way it works is it simply bypasses the payment processing step. ?The orders are all placed into an ‘Order Pending’ status so that no downloads or goods would be shipped or given away until the site owner or administrator changes the order status to ‘Order Approved’. ?Once you collect payment, however that may be, is when the order status is changed.

This is useful for Purchase Orders, Direct Deposits, Checks, or other methods where the order is taken, but payment is left to the site owner or administrator.

Third Party Payments

EasyCart referees to payments in which the customer leaves your website to make a payment as ‘Third Party Payments’. ?PayPal is the most prevalent method, but we have?close to a dozen different third party payment processors from around the globe. ?Simply enter your credentials and settings for the processor type you would like to enable.

**Note: ?If you plan to sell downloadable goods, it is easier for customers if you use a live processor, as transactions are processed instantly and the results get the user to their downloads quicker and smoother than if they leave your site, pay, then come back.

Live Payment Setup

WP EasyCart refers to payments that are made without the customer ever leaving your website as ‘Live Payments’.? Square, Authorize.net, Stripe, FirstData are popular examples, but choose from over two dozen live payment integrations for international and domestic support. Simply enter your credentials and settings for the processor type you would like to enable.

**Note: ?If you plan to sell downloadable goods, it is easier for customers if you use a live processor, as transactions are processed instantly and the results get the user to their downloads quicker and smoother than if they leave your site, pay, then come back.

Subscriptions – A special consideration is made to subscriptions and memberships as they are much more complicated systems to work with.? WP EasyCart is integrated heavily with stripe.com as a live payment processor and subscription system. ?If you plan to use subscription based products, you should sign-up for stripe.com.?Note: Free Edition users cannot use subscriptions with Stripe and WP EasyCart, you must upgrade to access this feature.

Stripe – WP EasyCart offers a super easy way to connect with Stripe through our Stripe.com app. If you are using a free version without a license this includes a 2% fee, but for all users with an active license this fee is removed. If you do not have an account, you may still click the ‘Connect with Stripe’ button and create an account. If you’d like to try in Sandbox mode, click the link below the button. Stripe will ask you some questions about your business and ask if you wish to connect, fill this form out and submit to connect with your WP EasyCart plugin. If you are connecting to a live account we will ask you to agree to some simple terms and once you accept Stripe will be connected!

Please Note: We do not store any of your Stripe account keys on our servers. These keys are passed through to your own website from Stripe and are stored on your server in your database. The keys will only be used when the cart needs them to make payments, refunds, add subscription products, etc… and those calls are done from your website.

Other Payment Processors – WP EasyCart also offers two dozen other live payment processors. Simply select your payment gateway of choice from box and enter the credentials for that gateway. For convenience we also offer Stripe in this box and you may enter your own API credentials to connect directly to your account.
