Payment Requests

Summary

A Payment Request is a request to remit payment from your Client for services rendered, and is how you get paid by the MyWordPress.io platform. You can bill for one-time products (Search Engine Optimization, website redesign, etc.) or recurring items like web hosting. Payment Requests use Products and Prices you have previously created in your Reseller or Agency property.

You will be unable to create any Products, Prices, or Payment Requests until you complete the Stripe Onboarding chapter.

Create

To create and send a new Payment Request to a property owner, log in and click on the Stripe Payments link in the left-hand menu:

Once on the Stripe Payments page, click on the Requests tab, select the Property to create the Payment Request, and click on the + icon:

For this example, we will be creating a one-time Payment Request for Search Engine Optimization product. Select the Type, and fill out the information for the request:

  • Type - Either One-Time or Recurring.
  • Product - The Product + Price you are associating with the request.
  • Quantity - The quantity the client is purchasing, typically 1.

Once you have the information filled out, click on the + icon to add them to the request:

When specifying a One Time payment request, you may add up to 10 individual product/prices to the payment request. For Recurring payments, you may add a SINGLE product/price to the payment request.

From here, you can send an email directly to the property owner or copy the payment URL to your clipboard and send it to them directly to request payment.

Make Payment

When a user processes your payment link, they browse to the URL, and are presented with a screen like this:

Because we are testing a One-Time Payment Request, the user puts in their information and clicks Pay to submit payment for the services rendered by you.
