HubSpot's payment platform works seamlessly with the HubSpot CRM and provides merchants with a single dashboard to manage all of their transactions, customer data, and reports in one place. It also allows them to accept payments for digital content paywalls, subscriptions, and membership sign-ups.

Features of HubSpot Payments

 

Payment links

HubSpot Payments lets you create payment links right from your dashboard. This feature can help your business grow by connecting customers with the products they want to buy.

 

Recurring Payments

Using the recurring payments feature, you can automatically collect money from customers on a predetermined schedule. Because recurring payments generate subscription records in HubSpot, they can be used in any way you want, such as adding them to lists or triggering automated workflows. For instance, you could use this feature to collect payments automatically for a membership site. Customers would sign up for a recurring membership plan and pay a set monthly fee for the service.

 

Embedded Payments

HubSpot Payments makes it easy to embed payments on web pages and social media sites. HubSpot's Payments API is the easiest way to display payments on social media sites, web pages, and mobile apps with just a few lines of code. Payments can be processed using debit cards, credit cards, or other modes. They can be set up to work with any module or plugin for hosting services like WordPress, WooCommerce, and Magento, as well as on social media pages.

 

Paid Meetings and Forms

The Paid Meetings and Forms features are new ways of getting paid. They're simple, elegant, and effective ways to get paid for your time with clients, whether you're meeting in person or over the phone.

Paid Meetings help you get paid for your time. All you need to do is link a payment link on the meeting scheduling page, which means if there are some reschedulings, then your time is automatically compensated.

Forms let you easily collect payment information and payments immediately after form submission.

 

Payment in Emails

HubSpot lets you embed payment links in your marketing emails. This is handy when you want to offer a lead an upsell or send them to a product landing page. HubSpot is a great way to manage, track, and grow your sales funnel without any headaches.

 

Is HubSpot's Payments Tool Secure?

When it comes to financial matters, security is essential. The safety and security of your business's payment methods can make or break your company. With HubSpot's Payments, you won't ever need to worry about safety or security.

 

Top-tier security

Numerous layers of protection safeguard sensitive payment information in HubSpot's Payments tool. The buyer's payment credentials are tokenized and encrypted so important payment information doesn't get into the wrong hands.

Your sales, service, marketing, and operations tools are integrated with your CRM if you use HubSpot. Consequently, your CRM may directly help you run your entire company.

 

Reliability

In this way, your customers' contact information can't be accessed unnecessarily, nor can third parties access your business's or customers' payment details. This also enables you to make secure B2B eCommerce purchases, and the system maintains reliable records of all transactions.

HubSpot Payments is built with safety, security, and reliability in mind.
