How do you take in payment information on a website you created? Do you have any examples of small company websites doing this?

You can do it either by accepting the payment information directly on your website through a form, or by using a payment gateway system like PayPal. If the user inputs their payment info directly on your website, you will need to make sure your web hosting has SSL for payment security. If using a payment gateway system, you can put add to cart buttons on your website, and then a checkout button that goes to the payment website, like PayPal. Another option would be to use the payment gateway buy now buttons or add to cart buttons. Here’s an example of a free dating app, Friends Match Me, that accepts payment to remove ads: Remove Ads from Website/App . This one shows an example of a Subscribe button too. It is built on UltimateWB.

You can do all these kind of setups easily with UltimateWB, with the built-in E-commerce app. It’s very flexible and customizable, and can connect to your PayPal account out-of-the box. The UltimateWB web hosting plans all come with free SSL too, You can also choose to download the UltimateWB website builder and use another host.
