Step 5: Test Your Payment Process

Before launching, it’s essential to test the payment process:

1. Use your payment provider’s test mode to simulate transactions without charging your account.

2. Complete a test purchase to ensure:

   • The checkout flow is smooth.

   • Payment is processed without errors.

   • Customers receive confirmation emails.

Step 6: Publish and Monitor Sales

After testing, publish your funnel. You can start promoting it to drive traffic, and monitor sales and customer behavior in the Analytics section.

Pro Tips for Optimizing Your Payment Gateway

• Offer Multiple Payment Options: Some customers prefer PayPal, while others prefer credit cards. Offering both can improve conversion rates.

• Highlight Security Measures: Display trust signals, such as SSL certificates or secure checkout badges, to reassure customers.

• Consider Subscription Options: If your business offers subscription services, configure recurring payments in your gateway to automate customer billing.
