Advantages and Implementation of the Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) Feature

Why Implementing Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) is Essential for Your Business Boosted Sales Conversions: Offering a Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) option allows customers to purchase items immediately while deferring payments. This flexibility often leads to increased sales as customers are more likely to complete their purchases. Services such as Klarna, After pay, and Affirm provide various payment plans that can be integrated into your platform. Enhanced Cash Flow: BNPL options reduce the immediate financial pressure on customers, often encouraging them to spend more than they would have otherwise. This can result in higher average transaction values, improving your business’s cash flow. Broader Payment Choices: Integrating BNPL into your eCommerce site not only improves the shopping experience but also caters to a wider audience. This inclusivity can help build customer loyalty and increase repeat business. How to Implement Buy Now Pay Later in Your Online Store Setting Up Your Store: 1. Access Your Website Settings: Go to the 'Sites' tab on the left-hand menu and select 'Websites'. You can choose to create a new website or modify an existing one.  2. Start Building Your Store: If creating a new website, you can either start from scratch or select a pre-designed template from the library.  3. Create a New Page: Click “+Add New Page” to start building your store using the website builder.  4. Page Naming and Path Setup: Name the page and set a path if desired. If you do not specify a path, the system will generate one based on the page name.  5. Start Building Your Store: Use the website editor to create your store. You can use a template or start from scratch, as this guide will illustrate.  Adding Products to Your Store: 1. Initiate Store Setup: Go to the store tab and click on “+Add to site” to begin setting up your store.  2. Manage Product Listings: Use the “Manage Products” option to add, modify, or remove products from your store.  Integrating Buy Now Pay Later: Ensure that your payment processing is handled through Stripe, as BNPL options are currently supported only through this provider. Within your Stripe account, activate the BNPL services you wish to offer, such as Affirm, Klarna, or AfterPay, and configure the specific payment methods (e.g., Pay in 4). Choose the appropriate payment terms and fill out any necessary information. Finalize the integration by processing a transaction at checkout. Advantages and Impact Incorporating BNPL into your eCommerce platform not only simplifies the buying process but also plays a crucial role in boosting sales conversions and offering diverse payment solutions. This feature is vital for driving revenue and enhancing customer satisfaction, making it an indispensable tool for online businesses. Troubleshooting and Common Questions Q: Why isn’t the BNPL option showing at checkout? A: Ensure that Stripe is correctly integrated as your payment provider and that BNPL options are enabled in your Stripe settings. Q: Can I offer multiple BNPL services simultaneously? A: Yes, you can provide multiple BNPL options to give customers more flexibility. Just make sure each option is properly configured in your Stripe settings. Q: How should I manage returns or refunds for BNPL purchases? A: Process returns and refunds through Stripe, following the specific BNPL service guidelines. Clear communication with customers about the return process is essential.

Setting Up Subdomains for Websites

In this guide, I'll walk you through the process of setting up subdomains for your website or funnel. This is a simple three-step process that will help you take a newly created funnel live using a subdomain. Step 1: Access Domain Settings First, navigate to the Settings on the left sidebar, and then select Domains from the new menu that appears. Next, click on Add New Domain in the top right corner. Step 2: Specify the Subdomain In the pop-up that appears, you'll need to specify the subdomain name. For this example, we'll use promo.whitelabelguides.com. Since this is a subdomain, you don't need an "A" record, but you will need to add a CNAME record. To begin, copy the URL in red from the pop-up. You’ll need this URL when configuring your DNS settings with your domain registrar. Step 3: Configure CNAME Record with Your Registrar Now, switch over to your domain registrar. We're using GoDaddy for this example, but the process is similar across most registrars. Navigate to your registrar’s DNS Management page for the domain. Click Add and then select CNAME from the dropdown. In the Host field, enter whatever appears before the dot in your subdomain. For this example, enter promo. Paste the URL you copied earlier into the Points To field. Reduce the TTL (Time to Live) in the dropdown to propagate the record faster. Finally, click Save. Step 4: Add the Subdomain to Your Platform Return to your platform and click Add. This may fail the first few times until the CNAME record has propagated. Once successful, you'll receive a confirmation message indicating that your subdomain has been added. Next, select a previously-created funnel from the dropdown and click Link Domain. Step 5: Verify the Subdomain URL Now, navigate to the selected funnel under Sites on your platform. You should see that it now has a URL associated with your subdomain. Step 6: Customize the URL Slug If you wish to change the URL slug, simply click the Publishing tab and edit the Step Path field. Step 7: Test the Subdomain When you test the URL, it may fail the first time as the SSL certificate is being built. Simply refresh the page, and you should see that your new subdomain is live and ready to go! FAQs Q: Can I still manually configure my domains if I prefer not to use Domain Connect? A: Yes, manual configuration is still an option for users who prefer to set up their DNS records manually or whose domain providers are not currently supported by Domain Connect. Q: What if my domain provider is not one of the top three supported by Domain Connect? A: Users with domain providers not currently supported by Domain Connect can still manually add the required DNS records. The manual configuration process remains the same. Q: What if I toggle on the option for "Also add www domain" but my www subdomain is already pointed to another system? A: A CNAME record will be created for your subdomain in your DNS records and pointed to us, but we will not be able to delete the existing CNAME or A record that you have for your www domain, which is pointed to another service. You will need to delete that yourself so that your www domain can work with us.

Step 5: (Optional) Import from ClickFunnels If you have pre-built funnels or content from ClickFunnels, paste your ClickFunnels URL here.
