Ever wish you could seamlessly accept payments on your landing page?

Adding a payment gateway can really increase sales because it makes buying easier. You won’t have to send people to a separate checkout page where they might change their minds.

In this guide, I’ll share two ways to create a high-converting payment landing page in WordPress. I’ll cover everything from choosing the right tools to optimizing your payment gateway page for conversions.

How to Make a Landing Page with Payment Gateway:

Why Accept Payments on Your Landing Page?

Adding a payment system right on your landing page makes buying easier. People can pay instantly instead of being sent to a separate checkout page. This helps stop them from changing their minds before they buy, and can lead to more sales.

Letting people pay with different methods (like credit cards, PayPal, etc.) can boost sales even more. Ottu found that businesses offering multiple payment choices sometimes see up to a 30% increase in sales

What You Need to Set Up a Payment Landing Page

For accepting payments on your page, you’ll need a few things:

  • A Payment Processor: Think of services like Stripe, PayPal, or Square as secure payment processors. They handle all the technical details of accepting different payment methods (like credit cards).
  • SSL Certificate: This is like a digital lock for your page. It scrambles any information customers share while being sent so it can’t be stolen.
  • PCI Compliance: This means following a set of rules to protect customer credit card information. It sounds complicated, but your payment service will help you figure out what you need to do.

How to Make a Landing Page with Payment Gateway

So, how do you build a payment gateway landing page? Follow the 2 methods below to learn how.

Method 1. Use a Page Builder to Create a Payment Landing Page

First, we’ll show you how to create a landing page and add payment integration with SeedProd.

SeedProd Drag and Drop WordPress website builder

SeedProd is one of the best website and landing page builders for WordPress. It lets you create any part of your web design without writing code.

You can use SeedProd to build landing pages like:

  • High-converting sales pages
  • Complete WooCommerce websites with checkout pages, product pages, and more.
  • Custom headers, footers, sidebars, and templates

You can even make a full website design with its theme builder.

Adding features to your site is easy with its customizable templates, WordPress blocks, and sections.

For instance, you can embed social media follow and share buttons to raise brand awareness and get more followers. Or you can use lead-generating elements like optin-forms, countdown timers, and call-to-action buttons to grow your list and boost sales.

One of the elements we’ll use in this method is SeedProd’s Payment Button block, which has payment gateway integration. It lets you start accepting online payments using the Stripe payment processor. It’s quick and easy to set up and requires zero coding.

So follow the steps below to create a payment gateway landing page with Stripe.

Step 1. Install and Activate SeedProd Landing Page Builder

The first step is to go to the SeedProd pricing page and choose a plan. For this guide, we’ll be using SeedProd Pro for its advanced features, but you can use the Stripe Payment Button on any plan, including the unlimited free trial of SeedProd.

After choosing a plan, log into your SeedProd account and download the plugin file. You can also copy your license key on the same page if you’re using the premium version.

Find your SeedProd license key

Now go to your WordPress website and upload the SeedProd plugin. If you need help, follow this guide on installing and activating a WordPress plugin.

Once you’ve done that, navigate to the SeedProd » Settings page and paste your license key.

enter your license key

Now go ahead and click the Verify Key button to store your license settings.

Step 2. Choose a Landing Page Template

The next step is to choose a template design for your page. To do that, you can go to SeedProd » Landing Pages and click on the Add New Landing Page button.

Add new landing page

On the following screen, you’ll see a library of professionally designed landing page templates.

You can click any of the filters at the top to narrow down your search. For example, clicking the Sales filter will only show the sales page designs.

Now go ahead and click on the Save and Start Editing the Page button.

Step 3. Add the Payment Button Block

On the next screen, you’ll see a layout similar to the example below:

On the left are WordPress blocks and sections you can add to your landing page design. Then, on the right is a live preview where you can preview the changes you make in real-time.

You can customize any part of your page by clicking anywhere on the live preview. For example, clicking the headline lets you type directly on the design to change the content.

A settings panel will also open on the left, where you can access advanced settings for customizing your fonts, colors, spacing, HTML, and more.

“A cluttered landing page design can easily distract users away.

To avoid this, make sure that you keep your landing page layout clean and simple. Using lots of empty space, color contrast, and large fonts can help you easily achieve that simplicity. How to Increase Your Landing Page Conversions by 300%.

Adding an online payment gateway to your page is just as easy. Simply search for the Payment Button block and drag it onto your page.

After doing that, the block settings will open, where you can click the Connect with Stripe button to link your Stripe account.

Connect with Stripe

You’ll automatically head to the Stripe login screen, where you can enter your verification code, but you’ll go straight back to your landing page design once the connection is complete.

Verify SeedProd connection to Stripe

Once you’ve authorized the Stripe connection, you can customize the payment button settings.

For instance, you can edit the following settings:

  • Payment amount
  • Payment description
  • Payment currency
  • Success URL
Payment button settings

The Success URL is the page you’d like to redirect shoppers to after they complete their purchase. For example, you can create a thank you page with SeedProd and redirect customers to that page when they check out successfully.

In addition to the above settings, you can customize the button text, sub-text, alignment for mobile and desktop, and button size, and even add Font Awesome icons.

Need more customization options? Simply click the Advanced tab to find button style, color, font, spacing, margin settings, and more.

With payments set up, you can continue customizing your page until you’re happy with how the design looks.

Remember to hit the Save button in the top-right corner to save your changes.
