Let's set up your Stripe account, so you can start to accept payments.
Feel free to watch the tutorial here or follow the written instructions below.
I will guide you through: Setting up your products, which can include one-time payments and subscriptions, setting coupon or promotional codes, and defining shipping & tax rates.
Once you've set things up in Stripe, there's no need to enter any details inside Mango as it's automatically linked after you've entered your Stripe keys in the Mango plugin. So to start, simply navigate to Stripe.com.
Click Dashboard to login into your Stripe account.
Once you login, you'll see something like this. Let's start by creating some products.
To clarify, products inside Stripe is the section where you can create one-time payments and subscriptions. Click onto Products.
Click onto Add Products on the right hand side as shown.
Enter your product information here.
You can include the name, a small description, even an image and set some additional options.
Make sure to also select whether it's a recurring payment or a one-time charge.
A recurring payment is basically a subscription, for example a weekly or monthly payment.
Once you've entered the required details, just click onto "Save product".
After you've saved your product, you'll see a list of products you have created. You can edit your products on the right hand side. You can also archive or delete it as necessary.
Let's add a coupon or promo code next.
Click onto Coupons on the left hand side as shown.
This page will list all coupons you have.
If you don't have any coupons yet, just click onto "Create a coupon".
Enter your coupon details here.
Note, you have a lot of different options here, including if you want to provide a percentage discount or a fixed amount or even a time duration for when it is valid.
Just so you know what this looks like for your customers, this is typically what they would see and how they can enter the coupon codes:
Next, let's look at how you can add shipping rates in case you're selling physical products and you need to be able to charge a shipping rate.
Note, inside Mango you can include the option for multiple shipping rates depending upon what the customer prefers.
So let's click onto Shipping rates here.
If you don't have any shipping rates yet, click onto "Create shipping rate" here.
Enter the shipping rate details as shown and hit save.
Again, as mentioned, you can use multiple shipping rates inside Mango.
If you need to add a tax rate, then you can also do so inside Stripe for use within Mango. Let's click onto Tax rates as shown.
Click onto "New" to create a new tax rate.
Note that tax rates are automatically calculated and displayed based on the user's location during checkout.
Enter the tax rate details and click "add tax rate".
You can have multiple tax rates for whichever region, if needed.
That's it, now you know the most important parts about how to manage the data you send from Stripe into Mango.
