FAQ
What’s the difference between paying via a SALES ITEM and placing an ORDER?
A SALES ITEM is a fixed offering (e.g. consulting hour or digital download) that customers pay for immediately via Stripe. An ORDER is simply an inquiry form—customers submit what they want, then you send them a payment link or QR code.
How do I set up a SALES ITEM versus an ORDER option on my MainSquare page
Go to Card Settings → Sales & Orders. Toggle on “Display activated SALES ITEMS on your page” to enable instant purchases, and/or toggle on “Display activated ORDERS BY EMAIL on your page” to accept order requests. Save to apply.
Can I customize the description, price, and availability of each SALES ITEM?
Yes—on the Manage Sales Items page, click an item to open its edit form. There you can adjust the title, description, price, currency, and availability limits. You can also select or upload professional images to showcase your offerings, giving your page a polished, high-end look.
How do I disable orders or sales items if I need to pause selling?
Here’s how to pause or resume your sales anytime:
Simple & Instant: There’s nothing simpler! You can pause or resume selling instantly, right from your phone.
Pause Entire Store: Log in to your Control Panel and use the toggle switch to turn whole sections on or off in real time.
Manage Single Items: Activate or deactivate specific orders or sales items directly on the Design page.
Navigation: Access the Design page through Menu → Members → Settings → Offering settings or directly from the related section in your Control Panel.
Do I need a Stripe account to enable instant payments?
Yes—if you want customers to pay instantly for SALES ITEMS, you must connect a valid Stripe account under Card Settings → Payments. Once connected, you can accept payments from over 100 countries.
ORDERS (email requests) don’t require Stripe. You also have two simple alternatives:
- Share your payment link
- Share your QR code (opens the customer’s banking app for a direct bank transfer)
Can I embed my SALES ITEMS or ORDERS form on my own website?
You can’t embed the entire form as an iframe, but you can easily link to it or add a button to your MainSquare page anywhere you want.
How to share: Simply use your personal MainSquare URL or a QR code.
Where to place it: In navigation menus, on marketing pages, static landing pages, printed materials, on a company car, or directly on your building.
How secure is the payment flow, and how is customer data protected?
All payments go through Stripe’s PCI-compliant checkout over HTTPS. Customer card details never touch your server—Stripe handles tokenization and storage. MainSquare stores only the minimal data you need (order requests, confirmations, email addresses) and uses SSL everywhere.
What payment methods does MainSquare support beyond credit cards?
Bank transfers via link
Share a direct payment link—customers can pay straight into your bank account with a simple wire transfer.Bank transfers via QR code
Display a scannable QR code (e.g. PayBySquare) so clients can open their banking app, scan, and pay instantly.Global instant payments through Stripe
By connecting Stripe Checkout, you unlock one-click options like Apple Pay, Google Pay, ACH, and regional wallets—plus dozens of international card networks.
Are customers required to create an account to pay or place an order?
No. Neither SALES ITEM purchases nor ORDER requests force visitors to register. Your customers simply enter their name, email, and any details you require right on your MainSquare page—and they’re all set.
