Customers can now make purchases using Apple Pay, Google Pay, and iDEAL
We've added support for three payment options that are new to us. If you've got Stripe associated with your account, customers can pay now using Apple Pay, Google Pay as well as IDEAL. ( Learn how to join Stripe to your account .)
Apple Pay allows users to store payment information by authorizing a payment with Touch ID. (Apple Pay is only available for creators who use an custom domain however it will only be available for users that use Safari as their primary browser. Keep an eye on us as we continue to broaden this service!)
Google Pay allows customers to pay using any credit or debit card linked in your Google Account. (It will only be available for those who are using Google Chrome as their browser.)
IDEAL can be described as a Netherlands-based payment method that allows customers to pay online by using their Dutch bank account.
An easy, one-page checkout experience
The checkout process has been revamped to provide a better user experience. Customers can view more specifics about their purchase and easily enter coupon codes, and more - all on one page.
Additional information about the product: Now it's crystal evident what the customer is likely to purchase -- be it the amount of lessons included in the course or the dates of a scheduled webinar.
Customers are also able to select among plans(community subscriptions, payment plans, and monthly or. annual pricing) from the checkout page. Also, they don't have to hunt around for where to put in the discount coupon.
Structured address collection If you are collecting the addresses of your customers (for tax reporting or other purposes ), now you don't have to type for your customers, and they get standardized information.
The account details are provided upfront.Your clients will be able to create or log in to their account prior to the start of their checkout. This ensures they won't forget to create a password and can always have access to your community, content, and purchases. If you're using integrated checkouts on another website, your embedded checkouts will be updated to reflect the latest checkout procedure within the embed modal.

More robust, customizable upsells when you check out.
It is an effective option to boost sales: give your customers an exclusive discount when they add additional products to their purchase.
Let's take an example. For instance, suppose that you are selling an online design course. At checkout, you could provide your clients with registration to the upcoming live webcast at a discounted price. They're already buying something from you. What a steal to get the additional item for sale!
Display more details about the upsell product that's displayed and tailor the copy to the specific offer. You can:
Include a subtitle and a title to the upsell page.
Include a customized name and description to every product.
Dynamically show up to three merchandise at checkout. (If customers have already bought an item, they don't see it as an upsell offering. You are able to add as many products as you want to your potential upsell list.)
