Add Stripe Using the Payment Processor Wizard

        2. Click Add Merchant (Processor).
         Note: “Merchant” refers to the payment processor account.

            Each location requires its own Stripe configuration.

       

        4. Select Stripe from the merchant dropdown, then click Next.

More Information and FAQs

Q: Do I need to configure Stripe separately for each location?

Yes. Each store/location requires its own Stripe merchant configuration.

Q: Why don’t I see online payments in Consumer Portal or Quicklink?

Online payments are only available if GPI Acquiring CC Processing is enabled.

Q: What if another ACH merchant already exists?

Elite will prompt you to replace it. Click Yes to continue if Stripe should be the active ACH merchant.

Q: Can one Stripe account be used for multiple stores?

No. Each location must complete its own Stripe setup and registration.

Stripe configuration is now complete for this store. Remember to repeat the Payment Processor Wizard and Store Configuration steps for each additional location.
