Step 2: Navigate to Payment Gateway

Once you are logged into your dashboard, look for the 'Settings' option, usually found towards the bottom of the menu on the left-hand side. In the settings, navigate to the 'Payment Gateway' section to add or configure your payment processor.

Step 3: Choose Your Payment Processor

GoHighLevel supports integration with multiple payment processors such as Stripe, PayPal, and others. Select the payment processor you want to use. It is essential to choose one that best fits your business model and provides the features you need, such as recurring payments, invoicing, or international payments.

Step 4: Connect Your Payment Processor

Step 6: Test the Payment Process

Before going live, it's crucial to ensure that the payment process works correctly. Create a test product with a minimal amount and perform a transaction from start to finish. Check that the funds are received in your payment processor account and that any notifications or automations you've set up are working as intended.
