Setting up credit cards as a payment method

For events with active ticketing, payments by credit card can be received and processed automatically. Setting up credit card payments is done in two steps.

Step 1: Create an account with the payment processor STRIPE

Step 2: Link your Stripe account to your Invitario account

After successfully creating the STRIPE account, you can link it to your Invitario account.
  1. Open your > Account in the side menu > Administration > Payment methods
  2. Select "STRIPE.COM (CREDIT CARDS)" . If a payment method is already set up, click the "Add" icon  and select the "Stripe" option.
  3. You will now be redirected to the stripe.com page where you can log in with your STRIPE credentials. The linking of your Stripe account will be done automatically after login.
The payment methods set up at the account level are available for all events in the account. You can also set up payment methods in an event under > Ticketing > Payment methods – these are only available in the respective event.
