Settings Overview for Items > Add New Item
This is the settings overview for the GetPaid > Item > Add New Item.
Item Title
Just like posts, items need a title, and this should be the product or service name, for example.
Item Details
By default, you can only add the Item Price.
There are 2 extra options
-
Let customers name their price
By ticking the first checkbox, a new settings field will appear, allowing you to set a minimum price. On the front end, when buying the item, the buyer will see an input field to set their price instead of a fixed price. If a minimum price is set, the buyer will not be able to offer less than the minimum price. -
Charge customers a recurring amount for this item
By ticking the second checkbox, a new set of fields will appear, an input field and a select field next to the Item price field. The first input field is labeled "every," and the select field includes options such as Days, Weeks, Months, and Years. For example, if you set $10 every 1 month, the system will charge the buyer $10 per month.
Below we have other 3 fields.
- Maximum renewals.
In this input fields it can be set how many recurrences the payment will run for. If set to 0 it will continue to reoccur until canceled. If set to 3 it will only collect 3 payments. In the example above, it would charge the buyer $10 per months for 3 months. -
Free Trial.
The first input field is where you specify the number of days, weeks, months, or years the free trial will run. The select field is where you choose Days, Weeks, Months, or Years. For example, if you set it to 10 days, the system will not charge anything for the first 10 days.
Item Description
This is where you add the description of the item in the form of text.
Item Info
In this sidebar section, you have four fields.
Item Type.
Here, you select what this item is. By default, the values are Standard or Fee. If you have add-ons installed or are using GetPaid to sell premium listings with GeoDirectrory and the Pricing Manager add-on, you will see extra Item Types. Refer to these docs for further information about Item Types.
Payment Form Shortcode.
To display an inline checkout form on the page where it is added.
Payment Button Shortcode.
To display a Buy Now button on the page where it is added. When clicked, the button will trigger the Check Out form in a modal window.
Below the Payment Button Shortcode, you will find this text: Or use the following URL in a link:
#getpaid-item-3247|0
This can be used to add the popup checkout form to any link (for example, a navigation link, a page builder button, or pricing table buttons).
The link will look like this: https://yousite.com/#getpaid-item-3247|0
Direct Payment URL.
To show the checkout form on a page without a header and footer, it can be used in iframes or embedded on an alternative website.
Featured Image
The Featured Image of an Item is like any post-type Featured Image.
When added, a thumbnail of the featured image will appear in the checkout form.
Publish
This is where you publish an Item and make it usable on your website.
