How to Connect Stripe to Kartra

To use the new checkout system, you’ll need a Stripe account:

1. Set up Stripe and make sure it’s connected in Kartra under Settings → Integrations.

2. In Stripe, go to Payments → Payment Methods.

3. Find your Kartra configuration and toggle on the payment options you want — Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna, Afterpay, etc. (options vary depending on your country).

That’s all you need to do on the Stripe side.

How to Create a New Checkout in Kartra

1. In Kartra, go to Sales → Checkouts.

2. Click Create New Checkout and give it a name (e.g., “Coaching Call”).

3. Select your product and choose your checkout type:

   • Kartra-hosted page (recommended for simplicity)

   • Pop-up checkout

   • Embedded checkout

4. Pick a display layout you like, customize the colors to match your brand, and (optional) add your logo.

5. Under Payment, ensure your Stripe account is selected as the payment gateway.

6. Turn demo mode off and publish your page.

What customers will see:

• Your product info, contact form, and payment options (these vary by location and browser).

• In the U.S., more payment methods like “Buy Now, Pay Later” will appear automatically if you’ve enabled them in Stripe.

2. How to Build a Simple Website in Kartra

Kartra can absolutely be used to create a simple, streamlined website. If you want advanced blogging features or deep SEO customization, I recommend using Squarespace for that portion - but for many coaches, course creators, and service providers, a straightforward Kartra site is perfect.

Step 1: Create Your Homepage

1. Go to Pages and click Create New Page.

2. Name it “Home.”

3. Important: You must create a Site for your pages to link together. Click Manage Site, name it (e.g., “Website”), and include this page in it.

4. Choose a template style (e.g., “Personal Branding”) and customize:

   • Swap the logo and images

   • Change text to your name and business details

Step 2: Customize the Navigation Menu

Decide which menu items you want at the top of your site - for example:

• Home

• About

• Work With Me

• Contact
  

Edit the text for each link or delete any you don’t need.

Step 3: Apply Header & Footer Across All Pages

1. Go to Sites and select which elements to share across your website (e.g., header menu and footer).

2. Apply these to all pages in your “Website” site group.

Step 4: Add More Pages

When adding a new page (e.g., About):

• Assign it to the same site (“Website”)

• Apply the shared header/footer so it matches your homepage

• Link menu items to the correct Kartra pages
  

Tip: Think of your homepage as the “base” - edit there first, then apply changes to other pages.

Step 5: Customize Page URLs

• Click the link icon for a page, select your custom domain, and type your preferred URL slug.

3. How to Use Kartra’s AI Tools

Kartra’s built-in AI can save you time when writing copy for:

• Pages

• Emails

• SMS messages

Step 1: Set Up Your AI Business Settings

1. Go to Account Settings → AI Business Settings.

2. Fill in details about:

   • Your products and services

   • Your target audience

   • How you’d describe your business

This ensures AI-generated copy is tailored to your brand.

Step 2: Use AI in the Page Builder

1. Open a page (new or existing).

2. Click the AI button in the left sidebar.

3. Describe the content you need.

4. Review and edit the AI-generated text to fit your voice.

Note: AI uses are limited per month based on your Kartra plan (usage count appears at the bottom).

Step 3: Use AI in Emails

1. Open or create an email in Kartra.

2. Click Generate with AI in the sidebar.

3. Toggle on “Use Business Settings” for more personalized copy.

4. Review, refine, and send.
