Selling online used to mean setting up a full e-commerce platform. If you have a handful of products or services, that's overkill. An AI-built site with Stripe payment links does the same job in a fraction of the time, for a fraction of the money.
Why Stripe?
Stripe is the payment infrastructure behind millions of businesses, from one-person shops to Fortune 500 companies. It handles credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and dozens of other payment methods across 135+ currencies. When your website builder integrates with it, you get that processing without running any of it yourself — customers pay directly from your site through Stripe's checkout.
What Can You Sell?
Payment links cover most of what a small business sells:
Physical products — handmade goods, merchandise, art prints, books.
Digital products — e-books, templates, presets, courses, software, downloads.
Services — consulting sessions, coaching packages, design work, photography.
Subscriptions — monthly memberships, recurring services, subscription boxes.
One-time payments — event tickets, donations, custom project fees.
How It Works with GetSite
GetSite includes Stripe integration, so payment buttons go straight onto your one-page site. Setup looks like this:
Step 1: Create your website with AI
Describe your business and products to the AI. Say that you sell things — it will include sections for pricing, product descriptions, and purchase buttons.
Step 2: Connect your Stripe account
Link your existing Stripe account, or create one for free. GetSite handles the integration; there's no code to write and no API keys to manage.
Step 3: Add payment links
Create a Stripe payment link for each product or service and add it to your site. Each button takes customers to a secure Stripe checkout page.
Step 4: Customize your product sections
Use the visual editor or the AI Developer chat to adjust how products are presented — descriptions, pricing, images.
Step 5: Publish and start selling
Hit publish. Payments go straight to your Stripe account, and you manage orders, refunds, and payouts from Stripe's dashboard.
Benefits of This Approach
No platform fees. You don't need Shopify ($29+/month) or WooCommerce hosting. GetSite's plan covers the site, and Stripe only charges per transaction (2.9% + $0.30 in the US).
Less to configure. A full e-commerce platform wants shipping rules, tax settings, inventory, and checkout flows before you can sell anything. Payment links on a one-page site skip all of that.
You look established. The AI generates a clean site, and Stripe's checkout is one customers already know and trust.
Works on phones. Both the site and Stripe's checkout are responsive, so buying from a phone isn't a fight with the layout.
When You Need More Than Payment Links
This setup fits businesses with a small catalog (roughly 1-20 products), service businesses selling packages or sessions, digital product creators, freelancers who invoice through their site, and event organizers selling tickets.
If you need hundreds of products, inventory management, shipping calculation, or multi-variant products, a dedicated e-commerce platform is the better tool. Most small sellers never get there.
Automating Your Sales Workflow
GetSite's Zapier integration handles what happens after a sale: a confirmation email to the customer, a new entry in your CRM or email list, a Slack notification for your team, a row in a Google Sheet, or a fulfillment trigger for physical orders — no additional tools needed.
