How to Set Up Merchants in Zibster
The MERCHANTS section in your Zibster control panel is where you set up the payment methods your business will accept for ECommerce, Scheduler, Invoices, and Forms. Your selected payment gateway will automatically be available for any checkout options you enable.
Note: Offline payment methods are not available for Forms or Invoicing.
Zibster supports multiple online and offline payment options to give your business flexibility.
IMPORTANT: You can offer multiple payment options in your ECommerce setup, but only one primary gateway for credit card transactions can be active at a time.
Choosing a Payment Gateway
For credit/debit card payments, Zibster integrates with the following gateways:
- Stripe (recommended)
- Square
- Authorize.net
- iTransact
- PayJunction
- Payflow Pro
You can also offer additional payment options, including:
- PayPal
- Offline payments (such as Zelle, check, or cash) — Note: Offline payments are not supported for Invoicing or Forms.
