A Better Way to Accept Payments On Your Own Website
Do you need a better way of getting paid on your independent online store? PayPal, after all, has issues with freezing your funds if you get a sudden rush of sales (like say, the holidays). And signing up with a credit card processor can quickly eat up all of your profits. Have you ever tried? They have everything from application fees, to monthly fees, to fees to stop using them. Who can afford that?
Fortunately, WePay has recently introduced a payment button with the independent seller in mind.
Saves You Money
We know this is what you want to hear about first – how much does this cost? WePay’s payment pricing is absolutely transparent at 1% + $0.30 for bank account payments, 2.9% + $0.30 for credit card payments. There are no hidden fees, and no fees for things that should be free, like transferring money to your bank account.
Respects Your Customers’ Time
You want your customers to have a great experience on your website so they come back. If they’re forced to spend more time than they need on your site they most likely will not return, nor will they recommend your store to anyone else.
A payment button saves them time by immediately giving them the option to click and buy the product. We’ve all been to a website where you had to go to your profile, then go to the shopping cart, then click on “checkout now, “ then create an account, enter demographic information.. you get the picture.
Something for Each Page
One of the benefits of having a payment button like the one WePay offers is it can follow your customers around the site as they click. No matter what page they’re on, the ability to immediately buy something and move on with their life is there. This allows them the freedom to move around your website without feeling like they’re going to get lost.
There’s also room for expansion. Your free WePay account entitles you to accept donations, sell tickets, and register people for events. As your business grows and expands, your payment process is already there with you.
Not Married to Your Site
One really great things about payment buttons – you don’t have to just use them on your own website! You can literally use payment buttons anywhere on the web as long as they have the right links.
What does this mean? If you have products listed elsewhere, like on a guest blog post for instance, you can include a “Buy Now” button for the product so readers of the blog can instantly pick it up. Installing the payment button is as easy as embedding a YouTube post, so you can most likely slap them up anywhere!
