In this article we will discuss what the Payment step is, why we need it and how to configure it in TruCHAT. The Payment step is part of a chatbot script that allows you to enable purchases via your chatbots and provide your customers with a possibility to make payments using their credit cards or PayPal account. Let's see how it works.

1. Go to the Chatbots section and select a chatbot you want to add the payment feature to.

2. Double-click on the script you want to edit.

3. Click on the Add button.

4. Select Payment

5. Add three more Content steps.

6. Name them Sucess, Skip, and Fail.

7. Now we are ready to configure the Payment step. Click on it.

8. Select steps to go on success, fail, and skip (those we've created in steps 5-6).

9. Select a payment service provider so that your customers could use it to make payments. You can choose either Stripe or PayPal. To learn how to configure integration with payment services, please see the article TruCHAT's Integrations Overview.

10. Go to the Product Settings tab.

11. Select whether the product price and currency will be picked up from your Stripe account or configured manually.

12. Enter the product price. You can use the value of a custom or a global field as a product price or enter it manually by enabling the Constant toggle. Amount must convert to at least 50 cents.

13. Select the payment currency you would like to use for your product price from the dropdown list.

14. Enter the text to be displayed on the Pay button, e. g. 'Buy for $10'.

15. Your Payment step is now configured. All you have to do is connect it to the main step by dragging an arrow from the main step to the Payment one.

16. Click Preview.

17.  Test your bot.

Done! Now you know how to configure the Payment step and provide your customers with an opportunity to buy products or services right in the chatbot.
