How to Accept Payments Online with Skip: Sell Products & Services for Free
Originally published November 26, 2025 · Updated November 2, 2026
Want to sell products or services online without paying for a website or expensive ecommerce software? Skip lets you create a free business page, list products and services, accept payments through Stripe, and share what you're selling with customers.
When we first introduced Skip Payments in November 2025, our goal was simple: make it easier for entrepreneurs and small business owners to get paid.
Since then, we've expanded Skip's tools for creating websites, publishing content, promoting products, and managing your business.
Today, you can use Skip to create something to sell, publish it on your business page, and promote it through blog posts, social posts, and direct payment links.
Here's how to get started.
Step 1. Create or Update Your Free Skip Business Page
Your business page is your public presence on Skip.
Add your business name, description, images, and information about the products or services you offer.
If you already have a Skip business page, review it to make sure your information is accurate and up to date.
You can also create a website using Skip's website-building tools.
A clear, complete business page helps potential customers understand what you offer and how to purchase from you.
Step 2: Connect Stripe to Accept Payments
Skip uses Stripe to securely process payments.
To get started:
- Go to Products & Payments on Skip.
- Start or continue your Stripe payment setup.
- Enter the requested business and payout information.
- Complete any required verification steps.
Once your Stripe account is enabled, you can begin accepting payments through eligible product and payment links.
Creating your business page and listing products on Skip is free. Standard payment-processing and applicable transaction fees may apply.
Step 3. Add Products, Services, or Payment Links
Skip supports different ways for businesses to sell online.
Physical products: List merchandise, handmade goods, accessories, and other items you sell.
Digital products: Offer downloadable resources and other digital goods.
Services: Create listings for consulting, coaching, tutoring, photography, cleaning, and other services.
Payment links: Create a link you can share directly with a customer to collect payment.
Add clear descriptions, pricing, and relevant images so customers know what they're purchasing.
You can manage your listings from your Products & Payments dashboard.
Step 4. Share Your Products and Payment Links
Creating a product is the first step. The next step is letting customers know it's available.
Every business should think about how to reach its existing customers and potential buyers.
You can share your Skip product pages and payment links through:
- Your Skip business page or website
- Your existing website
- Email newsletters
- Instagram, Facebook, and other social platforms
- Text messages and direct messages
- Communications with existing customers
For example, a consultant can send a payment link directly to a client, while a retailer can share a product page with followers.
You don't need to wait for customers to discover your business. You can start promoting what you sell immediately.
Step 5. Promote Products with Skip Blog Posts and Social Posts
One of the newer ways to promote your products is through Skip's content creation and publishing tools.
You can create a blog post about a product or service and include a link that takes readers directly to the listing.
You can also create social posts to promote your products and share them with your audience.
For example:
- A bakery can publish a post announcing a new product.
- A consultant can explain a service and link to its payment page.
- A digital creator can publish a blog post introducing a new download.
- A service business can share a customer-focused post linking to its offerings.
Skip's AI tools can help you draft content, create visuals, and prepare posts for distribution.
The goal is to make it easier to go from creating a product to telling customers about it.
6. Track Your Sales and Manage Your Products
Once customers begin purchasing, you can review payment activity and manage your offerings through Skip and your connected Stripe account.
Keep your product descriptions and pricing updated, review transactions, and continue promoting the products or services that customers are interested in.
If you haven't made your first sale yet, start with something simple: share one product or payment link with an existing customer or someone who has expressed interest in your business.
