This is the settings overview for the\u00a0GetPaid > Item > Add New Item.<\/p>\n

Item Title<\/h2>\n

Just like posts, items need a title, and this should be the product or service name, for example.<\/p>\n

Item Details<\/h2>\n

By default, you can only add the Item Price.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThere are 2 extra options<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Let customers name their price
    \n<\/strong>By ticking the first checkbox, a new settings field will appear, allowing you to set a minimum price. On the front end, when buying the item, the buyer will see an input field to set their price instead of a fixed price. If a minimum price is set, the buyer will not be able to offer less than the minimum price.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/li>\n

  2. Charge customers a recurring amount for this item
    \n<\/b>By ticking the second checkbox, a new set of fields will appear, an input field and a select field next to the Item price field. The first input field is labeled “every,” and the select field includes options such as Days, Weeks, Months, and Years. For example, if you set $10 every 1 month, the system will charge the buyer $10 per month.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Below we have other 3 fields.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Maximum renewals.<\/strong>
      \nIn this input fields it can be set how many recurrences the payment will run for.\u00a0If set to 0 it will continue to reoccur until canceled. If set to 3 it will only collect 3 payments. In the example above, it would charge the buyer $10 per months for 3 months.<\/li>\n
    2. \n
      Free Trial.<\/strong>
      \nThe first input field is where you specify the number of days, weeks, months, or years the free trial will run. The select field is where you choose Days, Weeks, Months, or Years. For example, if you set it to 10 days, the system will not charge anything for the first 10 days.<\/div>\n
      <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Item Description<\/h2>\n
      \n
      \n
      \n

      This is where you add the description of the item in the form of text.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      Item Info<\/h2>\n

      In this sidebar section, you have four fields.<\/p>\n

      Item Type<\/strong>.
      \nHere, you select what this item is. By default, the values are Standard or Fee. If you have add-ons installed or are using GetPaid to sell premium listings with GeoDirectrory and the Pricing Manager add-on, you will see extra Item Types. Refer to these\u00a0docs<\/a> for further information about Item Types.<\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      Payment Form Shortcode.<\/strong>
      \nTo display an inline checkout form on the page where it is added.<\/p>\n

      \"\"
      \nPayment Button Shortcode.<\/strong>
      \nTo display a Buy Now button on the page where it is added. When clicked, the button will trigger the Check Out form in a modal window.<\/p>\n

      \"\"
      \nBelow the\u00a0Payment Button Shortcode, you will find this text:\u00a0Or use the following URL in a link:\u00a0#getpaid-item-3247|0<\/code><\/p>\n

      This can be used to add the popup checkout form to any link (for example, a navigation link, a page builder button, or pricing table buttons).<\/p>\n

      The link will look like this:
      \nhttps:\/\/yousite.com\/#getpaid-item-3247|0<\/p>\n

      Direct Payment URL.<\/strong>
      \nTo show the checkout form on a page without a header and footer, it can be used in iframes or embedded on an alternative website.<\/p>\n

      Featured Image<\/h2>\n

      The\u00a0Featured Image of an Item is\u00a0like any post-type\u00a0Featured Image.<\/p>\n

      When added, a thumbnail of the featured image will appear in the checkout form.<\/p>\n
