How to Set up Payment Options in Website Builder

Website Builder not only gives you the easiest way to build your website, but also the most convenient tools that you can use for your Store. You can set up a variety of Payment Options for your customers, matching options to that which best suits your customer's needs, to ensure that you are able to provide the best customer experience.

Important: The Store option is only available for the eCommerce Website Builder plan and will not appear on all other Website Builder plans. If you want to easily set up an Online Store with complete SSL protection and easy setup and monitoring of Products and Orders, you will need to upgrade your current Website Builder plan or purchase a new eCommerce Website Builder plan.

To add a Payment Option to your Store in Website Builder, follow the instructions below:

  1. Click Sign Up / Log In at the top of this page.
  2. Select Account Manager from the drop-down menu.

  4. Click the Visit My Account button.
  5. Click Website Builder from the menu at the top of the page.
  6. Click on the eCommerce Website Builder plan that you wish to manage.

  7. Hover your mouse pointer over the [+] Icon at the upper right-hand section of the page and click Build Now.
  8. On the Sites page of your Website Builder Dashboard, hover your mouse pointer over the project/website that you would like to customise and click EDIT.

    If this is your first time accessing this option, click Get Started then wait a few seconds for the Website Builder Editor to add a Store page and Shopping Cart to your website.
  10. Click Settings from the left-side menu, then click Payments.
  11. Click on the Manage link from the left-side menu to open the pop-up window.
