Take cards, digital wallets and deposits right on your own site. Here is how to set it up, and how to avoid stitching together three separate tools to do it.
The simplest way to accept payments is to build your site on a platform that already has a checkout and connects to a card processor for you. You switch it on, link your account, and every product, booking or invoice can be paid on the spot. Instinctor includes this, so you are not bolting a payment plugin onto a page.
STEP BY STEP
1. Connect a processor
Link Stripe or your card processor once. It handles the cards, the security and the payouts to your bank.
2. Add what you sell
List your products, services or a booking deposit, each with a price. Anything with a price can be paid for.
3. Turn on cards and wallets
Accept Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay, so customers pay the way they already do.
4. Add a Pay button
Drop a checkout, a Pay button, or a payment link on any page. No embed codes, no separate payment page to host.
5. Keep it secure
Card details never touch your site. The processor handles PCI compliance, so you do not have to.
6. Get paid out
Money lands in your bank on the processor normal schedule, with every payment logged in your dashboard.
BUILT IN VS BOLTED ON
You can bolt a payment button from a third party onto most sites. It works, until you are reconciling payments in one tool, orders in another, and customers in a third.
One place for orders and payments
Every sale, who bought, and whether they paid live in the same dashboard, not scattered across apps.
Apple Pay and Google Pay ready
Wallet payments are built in, so mobile customers check out in one tap instead of typing a card.
Deposits and subscriptions too
Take a one-off payment, a booking deposit, or a recurring subscription from the same checkout.
COMMON QUESTIONS
No. You connect a processor like Stripe, which acts as the merchant account and handles the banking side. You link it once and you are ready.
All the major cards plus Apple Pay and Google Pay, so customers pay with whatever they already have on their phone.
Yes. Card details go straight to the processor, never your site, so you are not storing or handling raw card numbers.
The processor charges a small percentage per transaction, the standard online card rate. Instinctor does not add a cut on top of your sales.
Yes. You can charge a deposit at booking or checkout and collect the rest later, which is common for services.
Payouts follow your processor normal schedule, usually a couple of business days, straight to your bank.
