The MERCHANTS section in your Zibster control panel is where you manage payment methods for ECommerce, Forms, Scheduler, and Invoicing. You can configure your primary gateway and/or PayPal for any checkout process. However, note that offline payment methods are not available for Forms or Invoicing.
Zibster supports a variety of online and offline payment options.
IMPORTANT: You can offer multiple payment options in your ECommerce store, but only one primary gateway for credit card transactions can be active at a time.
For credit/debit card payments, you can choose from these primary gateways:
You can also offer additional payment methods such as:
- PayPal
- Offline payment methods (e.g., Zelle, check, cash)
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Refunds on orders must be processed through the merchant account that handled the original payment.
STEP ONE
Log into your Zibster account and click on ECommerce on the left side menu.
STEP TWO
Mouse over 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
Select your preferred merchant from the available options:
- Online Payments: Stripe, Square, PayPal, Authorize.net, iTransact, Payflow Pro, PayJunction
- Offline Payments: Allows clients to place orders and pay later via cash, check, credit/debit card, or mobile payment apps like Venmo, CashApp, Zelle, etc.
STEP FIVE
You can also add special instructions and a custom thank-you message for customers to 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 the merchant you configure, you'll have the option to select the types of cards you accept. Once you're ready, click the ADD MERCHANT button to start accepting payments.
You can set up as many payment methods as you like. If you add multiple payment methods, your customers will be able to choose from the available options. Many companies offer choices like "Pay by Credit Card" (using Stripe, Square, etc.) or "Pay via PayPal."
