Connect Payments and Manage Billing

There are two sides to money in Drip Merch: collecting payments from your customers at checkout, and managing your own Drip Merch subscription. This article covers both.

Set up a payment provider

To accept online payments from customers, connect a payment provider in your shop settings. Drip Merch supports:

  • Stripe — Card payments through your Stripe account.
  • PayPal — PayPal checkout.
  • Authorize.Net — Card processing via Authorize.Net.

    • Once a provider is connected, customers can pay at your storefront checkout using the enabled options.

    Steps to connect Stripe

  • Go to Settings → Billing (payment provider settings live in your shop settings).
  • Connect your Stripe account and provide the required credentials.
  • Save your changes.
  • Place a test order in your storefront to confirm checkout works end to end.

    • The same general flow applies to PayPal and Authorize.Net — connect the account, save, and test.

    Manage your Drip Merch subscription

    Your own plan is handled in Settings → Billing. There you can:

  • See your current plan and switch between monthly and yearly billing.
  • Review your usage for the month, including orders, team members, and storage.
  • Open the billing portal to update payment details, view invoices, or change your plan.

    • Keep an eye on usage

    Your plan includes allowances for things like orders, team members, and storage. The usage panel shows where you stand against those limits, so you can upgrade before you run out of room during a busy period.

    Next steps

    With payments connected and your plan active, you're ready to open a storefront, add products, and start taking real orders. If a customer ever reports a checkout problem, revisit your payment provider settings and run a quick test order to confirm everything is still connected.
