Overview
Stripe is one of the leading payment processing services globally, known for its robust API, ease of integration, and support for businesses of all sizes. It is commonly used on marketplace platforms for online transactions, as well as in-person payments. In this article, you will learn how to integrate Sellercloud’s Waytopay.me application with Stripe. When it comes to configuration, Stripe is the fastest and simplest service to integrate with.
This integration allows you to accept payments from the following channels:
Wholesale
Local store
Website
Magento
With Stripe, customers can pay using credit and debit cards.
Stripe supports vaulting, which saves your customers’ payment details as a token. This allows customers to order multiple times without re-entering card details. It also allows you to quickly charge or refund your customers without re-entering details. In addition, card data will be stored safely by Stripe instead of being stored on your servers.
Prerequisites
To set up Stripe for payment processing, you must first:
Open a ticket with Sellercloud Support to ensure that the Stripe Payment Processor Plugin is installed on your server.
Configure your Payment Settings to accept order payments using Waytopay.me.
Integrate Stripe
To integrate Stripe with Waytopay:
Log into the Waytopay Merchant Portal with your Sellercloud team name and login credentials.
Click the company for which you want to set up Stripe.
Click Enable Waytopay for this company.
Click Connect with Stripe.
Follow the next steps to create a new Stripe account or connect your existing account.

That’s it, once the account is connected, the integration is complete, and you can now accept payments with Stripe. Waytopay’s Stripe settings let you do the following:
Enter the Statement Descriptor text to show on customers’ bank statements.
Enable or disable Credit Card payments and set a Minimum charge.
After you are done with these steps, be careful not to click the Custom payment gateway option because it will disable Stripe. To use Stripe, make sure that Stripe is selected under Payment Methods and has the green dot next to it, indicating that it’s active.
Additional Settings
Apart from connecting a payment processor, you can configure the following settings in Waytopay:

Click Manage channels to enable or disable Waytopay for specific channels

Payment preferences:

You can also set a minimum charge amount for partial payments.
Payment Method
Currently, this integration supports credit and debit card payments and uses Stripe for authentication and authorization. Payments can be accepted from customers in all countries and in more than 135 currencies. Each transaction incurs a processing fee of 3% + $0.35 and is processed instantly.
By default, the Stripe integration uses the Ship To address on the order for billing purposes. However, customers have the option to enter a different billing address.
