We've added support to three different payment methods. If you've got Stripe associated with your account, you are now able to pay using Apple Pay, Google Pay as well as IDEAL. ( Learn how to connect Stripe to your account .)
Apple Pay lets customers provide saved details about their payment by authorizing payments using Touch ID. (Apple Pay is available for creators who use a specific domain , and will only show for customers that use Safari as their browser. Stay tuned as we work to broaden this service!)
Google Pay allows customers to pay with any credit or debit card that is linked in the Google Account. (It will only show for customers who use 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 banking credentials.
A streamlined, single-page checkout experience
The checkout process has been revamped in order to make it a user-friendly experience. Customers are able to view additional details about their purchase, easily enter coupon codes, and more - all on one page.
More details about the product: Now it's crystal clear what a customer is about to buy regardless of the amount of lessons included in a course or the date of a webinar that's coming up.
Customers also have the option of choosing from plans(community subscription tiers, payment plans, monthly or. annual pricing) on the checkout page. Customers don't need to look around for the best place to put in the discount coupon.
structured address collection: If you're collecting customer addresses (for tax reporting or other purposes ), now there's less typing required for the customers, and they get standardized information.
The account details are provided upfront.Your customers will sign up or create their account prior to the start of the checkout. This will ensure that they will not forget to make passwords and are able to access your content, community, and purchases. If you're using integrated checkouts from a different website, the embeds you use are updated with the current checkout flow within the modal embedded.

More robust, customizable upsells at checkout
It is an effective option to boost profits: offer your clients an extra discount when they add additional products in their order.
As an example, say that you are selling an online design course. At checkout, you could offer your customers registration for the upcoming live webcast for a reduced price. Customers are already purchasing something from you - what a steal to get the additional item for sale!
Provide more information on the item that you're showing and customize the content to the specific offer. You can:
Create a subtitle as well as a title to the upsell page.
Include a customized name and description for each item.
The dynamically displayed merchandise at checkout. (If buyers have already purchased a product, they won't think of it as an offering. You can include as many items as you'd like to the listing of upsells.)
