Accept Payments Online With Stripe, PayPal and Paystack
Connect your own Stripe, PayPal or Paystack account once and use it for everything you sell on Vonza. On a checkout, buyers can pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal or Klarna, and you choose which methods each one shows.
How accepting payments works on Vonza
To accept payments online you need a payment provider: the company that takes the money from the buyer’s card or account and pays it out to you. Vonza does not replace it. You connect your own provider account, and Vonza builds the checkout, works out the price and records the sale.
Vonza works with three providers. Stripe is connected through Stripe Connect, so one-time payments are charged on your own Stripe account. PayPal payments go to your PayPal account. Paystack is for sellers who sell in Nigerian naira.
You connect them once, in Settings › Payment integrations, and every checkout, course, form and invoice on your account can then take payments.
| Provider | Who it is for | What buyers pay with | Payment types |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stripe | Sellers in the countries where Vonza can connect Stripe | Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna | One-time, recurring and instalments by card; Klarna for one-off payments |
| PayPal | Sellers outside the Paystack region | PayPal account | One-time payments only |
| Paystack | Sellers who sell in Nigerian naira | Card, in Paystack’s popup | One-time, recurring and instalments |

Choose the methods for each checkout
Every checkout has its own Payment methods step, with one switch per method. New checkouts start with every method on.
- Turn a method off for one checkout and leave it on for the rest.
- A method your account cannot take yet stays visible, greyed, with the reason: “Stripe not connected”, “Not enabled on the Stripe account” or “PayPal not connected”.
- Keep at least one method on. The designer warns you before buyers are left with no way to pay.
- Ask for a billing address, or just the email. Email is always required.

Payment plans and subscriptions
A Vonza checkout can hold up to 6 prices, so buyers can choose to pay in full or spread the cost. Instalment plans run from 1 to 120 payments.
Later payments are taken from a card kept on file, so recurring and instalment prices need a card or Paystack. PayPal and Klarna are for payments made once.

|---|---|---|
| One-time payment | One price, paid once | Any method on the checkout |
| Pay what you want | An amount the buyer types, with an optional minimum and maximum | Any method on the checkout |

| Instalments | A first payment today, then the rest over time | Card or Paystack |
| Free | Nothing; buyers just sign up | No payment needed |

Choose Daily (every business day), Weekly (every Monday) or Monthly (on the 1st) on the Stripe or Paystack page.

What to know before you start
The limits of payments on Vonza today, so nothing surprises you or your buyers.
One currency per account
Your prices and checkouts use the currency set in Settings › General. Buyers pay in that currency; there is no currency choice per checkout.
PayPal is for one-time payments
Subscriptions and instalment plans need a card or Paystack. PayPal is not offered to sellers in the Paystack region.
Klarna is for one-off payments
It appears only where Stripe offers it for your account and the buyer, and never on recurring or instalment prices.
Wallets depend on the device
Apple Pay and Google Pay show only on devices that support them, and only when they are on in your Stripe account.
Paystack is for naira
Paystack is offered to sellers whose account currency is Nigerian naira, and Paystack payouts are made in naira.
Payouts are not instant
They follow the daily, weekly or monthly schedule you pick, and they can be paused.
Affiliate commission on Stripe sales
Affiliate referrals are credited automatically on Stripe sales. PayPal and Paystack sales pay no affiliate commission.
