Under General data you fill in the address- and other needed company details. This ensures that the correct company details appears on the invoices you send to your customers.
Connect your payment provider
Plug&Pay supports both Mollie and Stripe as payment providers. These payment providers handle the actual payment transactions for orders processed via Plug&Pay.
Do you already have a Mollie or Stripe account? If so, you can connect it to your Plug&Pay website.
Don't have a Mollie or Stripe account yet? You'll need to create one first.
For European companies, Mollie is a widely used payment provider. 🌍Unable to create a Mollie account for any reason? In that case, you can use Stripe.
Create your first product
Your checkout page naturally begins with a product that customers can purchase. To get started, create your first product by navigating to Products in the menu and clicking on "Create product."
Give your product a title, description and add an image if possible.
Under Price you set the standard price of the product, indicate if it is an one-time or a subscription (available from Premium) and last but not least you indicate if the standard price is included or excluded from the appropriate VAT.
