🛒 Better checkout experience -> Stripe checkout

It seems a lot of HB users manage their subscriptions through external platforms (Clickfunnels, Samcart, Kajabi, Podia, Kartra, Systeme, etc) because Heartbeat checkout is very basic.

I understand that sales funnels are more effective for upsells, but for someone who is already inside a free community and want to pay for locked spaces/events certainly it's a better experience to pay inside the Heartbeat/community ecosystem.

Right now, the checkout for paying a subscription looks the same as the onboarding process. Nothing wrong with that, but I think that in an online transaction users prefer a more familiar checkout.

I would love if Heartbeat let us use the same Stripe checkout/layout. It looks cleaner, clearer and more professional (even HB payments use it!)

Other community platforms have adapted their checkouts to look like Stripe, it looks great (screenshot included).

    We are working on an update to checkout pages that will make the experience a single page and better optimize on converting members :)

    I agree, the 3 step checkout process just doesn't gel with my customer feedback. I use Stripe Checkout for Membership payments and Shpify for single payments at the moment. Ideally, I'd like to bring everything into HB re: payments but really not until we can get a single page checkout process.

    Payments 2.0 is live! You can migrate your community by heading to Settings > Products.

    We’ve completely revamped the checkout experience! Expect a cleaner layout, clearer order summaries, and built-in social proof with testimonials. We’ve also added a “Secure checkout by Stripe” badge to boost buyer confidence and credibility.

    Check it out after migrating to Payments 2.0. Learn more here: https://help.heartbeat.chat/en/articles/10029199-heartbeat-payments-overview

    Is integration of another payment gateway included in this planned update? because stripe is not compatible for Indian users at the moment.

    Nick Barba What about a fully integrated payment method in HB to avoid the hassle of third party payment integration like Stripe?
