What it is

Take payments securely, with the methods people expect.

Payment integration connects your store to a secure processor so customers can pay by card and digital wallet, with the security and PCI compliance handled for you.

In plain terms

It is the card machine at your counter, but online. Customers want the tap-and-go they are used to. If your machine only takes checks, most walk away, even ready to buy.

More completed sales

Familiar, trusted payment options reduce last-second drop-off.

Safe and compliant

Secure, PCI-compliant processing protects you and your buyers.

Money in your account

Reliable payouts with clear records of every order.

How online payments actually work — the two-minute version

When a customer pays on your store, the card details go straight to a payment processor — a company like Stripe or Square whose entire business is moving money safely. The processor checks the card, takes its fee, and deposits the rest into your bank account on a schedule. Crucially, the sensitive numbers never live on your website, which is what keeps you out of the compliance deep water: the processor carries the PCI security burden, and your site just needs to be set up to hand off to it correctly.

That handoff is the work. Done right, the customer sees a smooth, familiar payment step and the processor takes it from there. Done wrong — mismatched settings, missing wallet support, broken confirmation emails — you get failed payments, confused customers, and orders you cannot reconcile.

What to offer, and what it costs to take money

Cards are the floor. Digital wallets — Apple Pay and Google Pay — matter more every year, especially on phones, because they turn checkout into a thumbprint instead of typing sixteen digits on a couch. Every payment method a customer already trusts is a reason not to hesitate at the buy button; every missing one is a little push toward 'maybe later'.

The economics are simple and worth knowing upfront: processors charge roughly 3% plus a small fixed fee per transaction — that is the industry's price of moving money, set by the processor, not by us, and no honest builder can waive it. What we make sure of is that it is the only payment cost you have: no gateway middlemen, no per-transaction cut to us, clean records for your bookkeeping.

Sound familiar?

Signs this is for you

If any of these ring true, this is exactly what fixes it.

You have no way to actually take payment online yet.

You worry whether taking cards online is safe or legal.

Customers ask if they can pay with Apple Pay or a card and you cannot.

A customer wants to buy but your site only says 'call to order,' so half of them never do.

Why it matters

Why this is worth doing

If someone cannot pay the way they want, or the checkout feels unsafe, they abandon the sale at the last second. Trusted, familiar payment options are what let people click buy with confidence.

What it costs

Pricing, plainly

Payment setup is included in every store build from $6,500+ — connected, configured, and tested with real transactions before launch. The only ongoing cost is the processor's standard per-sale fee (roughly 3%), which goes to the payment company, not to us.

FAQ

Payment Integration: common questions

Credit and debit cards plus digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay, through a trusted processor. Offering the methods people already use reduces abandoned checkouts.
