How to set up Stripe to accept credit card and instant bank payments

In order to accept card and bank payments, you will need to add a new integration in your venue.  Remember that you will need to have a stripe account already set up for this step, this can be done by visiting: https://stripe.com



Step-by-step guide:


  1. Click on the Integration section in the sub menu for your venue.


  1. Under the heading Payments - Click on the blue cross above the stripe logo to integrate your existing stripe account




  1. A new page will open with the heading Get started with Stripe.  Sign in to your existing account using the email associated with this account and follow the subsequent instructions to integrate the two together. (if you do not have an account you will be prompted to open one and redirected at his stage)




NOTE: If you do not have an account you will be prompted to open one and redirected at his stage:


  1. A new Integration view will be displayed, where the different payment methods can be enabled or disabled. By default all the payment method supported by your account will be turned on in Sonas. You can also configure different settings for every payment method when you click on them:



If you are having trouble seeing any payment method in this screen, please be sure that the payment method is supported by Stripe in your country, and that you have enabled it in your allowed payment methods list. This is an example for turning the "Pay by bank" feature:


  • Click on setting in the Stripe Dashboard, and click on Payments



  • Select your default payment methods or the configuration that is currently being used


  • Be sure the desired payment method is enabled (currently, only cards and pay by bank are supported)




Enabling Pay by Bank


To offer Pay by Bank to your customers, you need to complete two steps:


  1. Activate Pay by Bank in your Stripe dashboard — Go to Settings > Payments in your Stripe dashboard, select your payment methods configuration, and ensure Pay by Bank is enabled.
  2. Enable it in Sonas — Go to your Stripe integration settings in Sonas and enable the Pay by Bank payment method.


Once both are in place, Pay by Bank will appear alongside your other payment methods and can be configured per event in the usual way.
