Payolee
What Payolee is
Payolee lets businesses accept credit-card payments through custom buttons and forms on their websites. Its options include pay-now, buy-now, donate, and subscribe buttons, as well as payment forms and a customer checkout experience. Businesses can set up recurring payments and subscription plans with selectable billing frequencies, making the service relevant to memberships and other repeat-payment offerings. The maker names local gyms, lawn care businesses, bakeries, and caterers as examples of suitable customers, and also mentions subscription clubs, boxes, and magazines. Setup does not require coding, and the maker says recurring-payment setup can take less than five minutes. Before creating buttons or forms, users submit their website for approval; after approval, they connect their account to Stripe. A separate merchant account is not required, and the product page states that it uses full SSL encryption. Payolee is web-based, and its registration is free.
