Written by Larry Brager

Create a PayWhirl Multi-Platform account to start building your subscription checkout experience. Once your account is created, you can set up selling plans, create payment widgets, test checkout, and prepare your site to accept recurring payments. We offer a Free monthly plan with NO CREDIT CARD required.

Create your account

  1. Review the available plans and choose the option that best fits your business. If you are still setting up or testing your subscription experience, you can start with the Starter plan. If you need lower PayWhirl transaction fees or additional features, you can select a paid plan.

  2. Click Create Account for the Starter plan, or Start Free Trial for a paid plan.

  3. On the signup page, complete the Your Information section. This includes details such as your country, currency, and any required business information.

  4. Complete the Your Login Information section using the email address and password you want to use for PayWhirl.

  5. Review the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, then select Create my account.

  6. If PayWhirl sends a verification email, open the message and follow the verification link to finish creating your account.

After your account is created

After your account is created, you can sign in and begin setting up PayWhirl.

New accounts can be used for configuration and testing before you connect a live payment gateway. This is helpful if you want to build your selling plans, preview your payment widgets, or test the customer checkout flow before accepting real subscription payments.

Before charging customers, make sure you have:

  • Connected a supported live payment gateway

  • Created your selling plans

  • Built and added your payment widget

  • Tested the checkout flow

Important notes

  • This guide is for PayWhirl Multi-Platform accounts. If your store uses Shopify, install PayWhirl through the Shopify app flow instead.

  • A live payment gateway is required before you process real customer payments. Payment gateway processing fees are separate from PayWhirl transaction fees.

Thanks for choosing PayWhirl. We’re excited to help you build and grow your subscription business.
