GoHighLevel helps businesses manage their sales and marketing, yet its payment processing requires some extra steps. You’ll need to connect your account with external payment providers to handle transactions and process sales.
Your main option is Stripe, which serves as the foundation for payments through GoHighLevel.
Having a Stripe account opens up access to other payment methods and helps you start accepting money from customers right away. Soon, Square will join the list of available payment gateways, giving you more flexibility in how you process transactions.
