The MERCHANTS section of ecommerce is where you can set up methods to accept payments on your Zibster Website, ECommerce, Scheduler, Forms, and Invoices. We have several merchant options for both online and offline payments. Depending on the merchant type you select, you will be prompted to enter your merchant identification information from your provider that will connect to your merchant gateway. You can also sign up for and connect to Stripe, Square, and iTransact directly through your Zibster account control panel.
Pro Tip: Your merchant(s) will allow you to accept credit and debit card payments as well as process refunds on orders.
STEP ONE
Log into your Zibster account and click on ECommerce on the left side menu.
STEP TWO
Click on PAYMENT at the top of your control panel and in the drop down menu, select MERCHANTS.
STEP THREE
Click on the NEW MERCHANT button.
STEP FOUR
Choose the merchant you prefer to use for your payment method.
Zibster allows both online payment methods via integrations with Stripe, Square, Paypal, Authorize.net, Itransact, Payflow Pro, or PayJunction. You also have the ability to accept offline payments, which allows your clients to place an order with you online and then pay in person with cash, check, credit/debit card, or using a mobile payment service such as Venmo, Cashapp, Zelle, etc.
STEP FIVE
Choose where you want your payment method available. You can use different merchants for Proofing, Scheduler, Forms, & Invoicing.
You can also add special instructions and a custom thank you message that your customers will see during the checkout process.
Pro Tip: When using Paypal as your merchant, your clients will be redirected from your website to the Paypal checkout for payment processing. It's best practice to include a message to your clients in Special Instructions advising them they're going to a 3rd party website (Paypal) that will process their payment and that it does not require a Paypal account to use their credit/debit card.
Depending on which merchant you configure, you'll have the option to choose what type of cards you accept and click on the ADD MERCHANT button and you'll be able to begin accepting payments.
You can set up as many payment methods as you'd like. If you add multiple merchants, your customers will be able to choose between the different merchant options you have available. Most often, companies will give a choice between "Pay by Credit Card" (using the Stripe, Square, or one of the other merchant integrations) and "Pay via PayPal".
