Why this guide exists

Accepting an online payment involves a short chain of connected parts. Your website presents the product, SureCart manages the purchase, Stripe processes the payment and the customer receives access to the download. When you understand that chain, the software becomes much easier to use.

This guide focuses on those underlying principles instead of asking you to memorise a particular collection of buttons. Interfaces will change, but the purpose of each part and the customer journey will remain useful.

Inside the Guide
