Accepting payments on your Fast Member membership site is done with preconfigured payment buttons.
These are created in the Payment Processors section for each processor you wish to use.
You can view the full tutorial on Payment Processors here.
Once you have a button configuration setup you then insert into a page as a button or link.
This can be done either using the Button & Link Generator or with the Fast Member shortcode
Button & Link Generator
From the Buttons & Links page you can create either a payment link or a payment button HTML embed codes
Payment Link – this can be copied and used anywhere you wish to use a direct link to your payment processor.
This link can be used with the Fast Buttons CSS3 button builder addon. For more details on Fast Buttons click here.
Embed Code – This can be embedded on any HTML site and uses graphical image based buttons.
You can download a zip file of payment button images below.
Generating Buttons & Links
The process for creating a button or link is exactly the same
Select the product
Choose the payment method you wish to accept
Choose a Processor Configuration you created on the Payment Processors page
Add an optional tracking code. This will be displayed in the Fast Member stats
(Optional) Add a title/alt text for the image – can be useful for SEO purposes. If only creating a link this is not needed.
Add the URL of a hosted Image – if you are only creating a link this is not needed
Once you hit Generate Link & Button Code you will see both a payment link and the HTML Embed code for the payment button.
Either can then be copied and pasted into your site.
Payment Shortcodes
Fast Member also has a range of Shortcodes for use, which includes Shortcodes for the payment links and buttons.
Create A Payment Button
Click the orange Fast Member icon in the WordPress Classic editor
Choose Payment Button from the ‘Insert Shortcode For’ list
