In fact, Divi 5 now makes the process much easier with its native Payment Button Module. Instead of installing a complete ecommerce solution just to collect a simple payment, you can add a payment button directly to a Divi 5 page and connect it with PayPal or Stripe. The [**Divi Payment Module**](https://divihat.com/divi-payment-module-accept-paypal-and-stripe-payments-directly-in-divi-5/?ref=divi-hat-official.ghost.io) is particularly useful for freelancers, agencies, consultants, service businesses, creators, and website owners who need a simple way to accept online payments without building a complete WooCommerce store. Let's look at how it works and when you should use it. ## What Is the Divi Payment Module? The **Divi Payment Module**, officially called the Payment Button Module, is a native Divi 5 module that allows you to create payment buttons connected to **PayPal or Stripe**. It works much like the regular Divi Button Module from a design perspective. You can customize the appearance of your payment button using Divi's familiar design controls while adding payment-specific settings from the Content tab. This means you can create buttons such as: **Buy Now** **Pay Now** **Book Now** **Make a Deposit** **Donate Now** and connect them to an actual payment process. For website designers, this removes a lot of unnecessary complexity when the website only needs to collect straightforward payments. ## Does Divi 5 Support PayPal? Yes. Divi 5's Payment Button Module supports PayPal. Setting it up is relatively simple because you can add your PayPal account as a payment resource using the email address associated with the account. Inside the Payment Button settings, select **PayPal** as your payment provider, add your PayPal email address, configure the payment amount and currency, and customize your button. Divi also provides PayPal-specific options for **Return URL** and **Cancel URL**. The Return URL determines where customers are taken after completing their payment, while the Cancel URL determines where they go if they cancel the transaction. This gives you more control over the customer journey. For example, after someone successfully pays for a consultation, you could redirect them to a thank-you page containing instructions about what happens next. ## Does Divi 5 Support Stripe? Yes. You can also use **Stripe with Divi 5** through the Payment Button Module. The Stripe setup works a little differently from PayPal. For Stripe, you first create a **Stripe Payment Link** for the product or service you want to sell. You can then add that hosted checkout link as a Stripe resource inside your Divi Payment Button. This makes Stripe particularly useful when you want customers to move from your Divi landing page into a simple Stripe-hosted checkout experience. You don't have to build a complete shopping cart just to sell one service or collect one payment. ## How to Add PayPal or Stripe Payments in Divi 5 Adding a payment button is similar to adding any other module in the Divi Visual Builder. Open your page with the Divi 5 Visual Builder and create or select the section where you want your payment option to appear. Add a row and click the module icon. Search for **Payment Button** and add it to your layout. Open the **Content → Payment** settings. From here, choose either **PayPal or Stripe** as your provider. Next, create or select your payment resource. For PayPal, this can be your PayPal account email. For Stripe, you'll use the relevant Stripe hosted checkout link. After connecting the payment resource, configure the amount, currency, button text and other available options. You can then move over to the Design tab and style your payment button to match the rest of your website. ## Fixed and User-Defined Payments One useful feature of the **Divi Payment Module** is the ability to control how much the visitor pays. You can use a **Fixed Amount** when you're selling something with a predetermined price. For example, imagine you offer a website consultation for $99\. You could create a section explaining the consultation and place a **Book Consultation – $99** payment button underneath it. Visitors could then proceed directly to payment. Divi also provides a **User Defined** amount option. This can be useful when the customer needs to choose how much they want to pay, particularly for donations or other flexible-payment situations. ## Test Payments Before Going Live You obviously don't want to discover a payment problem after customers start using your website. That's why the Divi Payment Button includes **Sandbox and Live environments**. Sandbox mode lets you test your payment setup without processing real payments. Once you're satisfied that everything works correctly, you can move to the Live environment and start accepting actual payments. Testing the entire payment flow before launching your page is highly recommended. ## Do You Need WooCommerce to Accept Payments in Divi 5? Not necessarily. This is one of the biggest advantages of the Divi Payment Module. If your website simply needs to collect a payment for a product, service, booking, deposit or donation, installing and configuring a complete WooCommerce store may be more than you need. The Payment Button Module gives you a much simpler alternative. For example, imagine you're a web designer offering three packages: **Landing Page Design – $499** **Business Website – $999** **Custom Website – $1,999** Instead of creating WooCommerce products, cart pages and a complete ecommerce workflow, you could create a Divi 5 pricing section and connect each package to an appropriate PayPal or Stripe payment button. The visitor selects the package and proceeds to payment. That's a much cleaner workflow for certain types of websites. ## When Should You Still Use WooCommerce? The Divi Payment Module isn't designed to replace WooCommerce in every situation. If you're building a complete online store with dozens or hundreds of products, inventory management, shipping, taxes, coupons, customer accounts, sophisticated order management or other ecommerce features, WooCommerce is still the more appropriate solution. Divi 5 also provides WooCommerce-specific modules, including a Woo Checkout Payment Module that lets you design the payment section of a WooCommerce checkout. Think of the Payment Button Module as the simpler option. If you need **"Click → Pay"**, the Divi Payment Module can be ideal. If you need **"Browse → Add to Cart → Manage Cart → Checkout → Manage Orders"**, you'll probably want a full ecommerce platform such as WooCommerce. ## Where Can You Use the Divi Payment Module? The flexibility of the module opens up several interesting possibilities. A freelancer could place a payment button underneath a service package. A consultant could collect consultation fees before allowing customers to schedule a meeting. A restaurant or service provider could collect deposits. A nonprofit could create a donation page. You could also use payment buttons on pricing pages, landing pages, service pages and sales pages. This is where the feature becomes particularly interesting for Divi designers. You're not limited to a generic checkout page. You can design the surrounding page using Divi 5 and position the payment call-to-action exactly where it makes sense within the customer journey. ## Can I Customize the Divi Payment Button? Yes. One of the advantages of having the payment feature integrated directly into Divi is that the Payment Button shares the familiar styling capabilities of Divi's regular Button Module. You can customize elements such as typography, alignment, spacing, backgrounds, borders, shadows and animations. Advanced users can go further using CSS classes, custom CSS, HTML attributes, conditions, interactions, positioning and scroll effects. This makes it much easier to keep your payment button visually consistent with the rest of your website. ## PayPal vs Stripe in the Divi Payment Module Both payment providers can work well, but the setup is slightly different. PayPal is particularly straightforward because you can connect the module using the email address associated with your PayPal account. Stripe requires you to create a Stripe Payment Link for the item you want customers to purchase and then connect that link to the Payment Button Module. Your choice therefore doesn't necessarily need to be about which payment processor is "better." It can depend on your business, customers, location, payment workflow and which platform you're already using. You can also create different Payment Button modules for different payment scenarios. ## Why Is the Divi Payment Module Important for Divi 5? The Payment Button Module is another example of Divi 5 expanding beyond basic page building. Previously, adding simple Stripe or PayPal payment functionality to a Divi website could mean relying on third-party plugins, custom integrations or a larger ecommerce setup. Now, simple payment buttons are available directly within Divi 5. For designers building landing pages and smaller business websites, that's a meaningful improvement because it can reduce the number of moving parts required to create a payment-enabled page. It also keeps more of the design workflow inside the Divi Visual Builder. ## Can You Sell Products With the Divi Payment Module? Yes, but there's an important distinction. You can use the Payment Button Module to collect payments for individual products or services. For example, you could create a landing page for an ebook, course, consultation or digital service and add a payment button. However, it isn't a replacement for a complete ecommerce system. If you need product catalogs, inventory, sophisticated order management, shopping carts and shipping functionality, you'll want a more complete ecommerce solution. The Divi Payment Module works best when **simplicity is the goal**. ## Can You Accept Donations With Divi 5? Yes. Because the Payment Button Module supports user-defined payment amounts, it can also work for donation-style pages. Instead of forcing everyone to pay the same amount, you can allow visitors to enter their preferred amount before continuing with the payment. You can then build the rest of your donation landing page using Divi 5's design tools. ## Can You Collect Deposits With Divi 5? Yes. This is another practical use for the module. Suppose a photographer requires a $100 deposit before confirming a booking. Instead of building a full ecommerce store, the photographer could create a booking or service page and add a fixed $100 Payment Button. The same approach could work for consultants, agencies, restaurants, event organizers and other businesses that require upfront deposits. ## Is the Divi Payment Module Good for Freelancers and Agencies? It can be extremely useful. Freelancers often don't need an ecommerce store. They simply need a way for clients to pay an invoice, purchase a predefined service or make an initial deposit. For example, a web design agency could create a landing page for a website maintenance package and place a PayPal or Stripe payment button directly below the offer. This keeps the process simple: **Visitor reads the offer → chooses the service → clicks the payment button → completes payment.** Reducing unnecessary steps can create a cleaner experience for both the business and its customers. ## Frequently Asked Questions About Divi 5 Payments ### Can we add PayPal in Divi 5?
