So I'm creating a website that advertises paid summer programs, and I want to add a payment system that enables people to sign up for any summer program(listing their email, phone number, and name). How exactly should I go about doing this? and where would I receive the information of the customer so I could contact them later on.
I am new to wordpress, so any help is appreciated thx.
Have you heard of Calendly? That’s the third party app I use to allow my customers to schedule themselves in for their first week of services they book with me. Unfortunately Calendly doesn’t allow for recurring events such as classes or continuous services etc. However, my business repeats on a weekly cycle so just being able to schedule themselves in for the first week is fine and then I upload a full schedule for them separately. I have the Calendly scheduler embedded into the HTML of my website (super easy to do, easier then it sounds). Calendly takes the payment and customer info. I have an account with Stripe as my payment processor.

Gravity Forms or similar
Paypal is also an option
I also needed to add payment functionality when creating websites using WordPress before. Here are my personal experiences and steps, hoping to be helpful to you.
Firstly, you need to choose a suitable payment plugin. I personally recommend using WooCommerce or WP Simple Pay. Both of these plugins are very popular and easy to use.
Using WooCommerce
Install and activate WooCommerce:
In the WordPress control panel, navigate to plugins ->add new plugin, search for WooCommerce, click install and activate.
Set up WooCommerce:
After activation, WooCommerce will guide you through the basic settings, including store address, currency, and payment method. You can choose PayPal or Stripe as payment gateways.
Create product:
Under the WooCommerce menu, click on Products ->Add New Product. You can create a product for each summer camp project and fill in information such as name, description, price, etc.
Add payment form:
The product page that comes with WooCommerce already includes a payment form. When users select a product and checkout, they will fill in their contact information and complete the payment.
When using WooCommerce myself, I found it to be very powerful and flexible, suitable for projects that require multiple payment methods and complex product settings. If you only need simple payment functions, WP Simple Pay is also very good.
What tool are you currently using to manage the development environment? I previously used MAC’s Servbay, but now I have switched to a Windows system and I feel that using XMAPP is not very user-friendly.
Forminator. Stripe/PayPal payment is integrated.
