Configuring Stripe as a Single Seller

Stripe

To use Stripe on Sales Invoices, you must first have the Stripe Credentials entered into the Admin Control Panel > Billing & Fees > Stripe page, then also added to the Seller account that will be Invoicing the buyers.

Note

With Enabled for Sellers turned off, the admin will still be able to apply the Site's Stripe Credentials to multiple seller users but, Seller Users will not be able to connect their own Stripe Credentials. If you'd like a Seller User to be able to enter their own Stripe Credentials, see Configuring Stripe for Third Party Sellers.

Next you'll need to bring the Stripe credentials entered into the Admin Control Panel > Billing & Fees > Stripe page over to the Seller user's payment settings.

There is a link that will do this for you.

  1. Navigate to the Admin Control Panel > Users Management page.

    Stripe

  2. Click into the "admin" user. (or whichever user you intend to post the Listings as)

  3. Open the Account Info tab at the top.

  4. Scroll down and click the Use Site Stripe Credentials link.

You should get a validation message saying that the Stripe Credentials have been copied.

Note

If you are using multiple seller user accounts under the same company, you would click this link for each seller user.
