7.1 SETTING UP STRIPE

Stripe is our recommended payment provider to take credit card payments through your website.

Click on the link in the Payment section and it will send you through to their website.

Simply create an account or log in with your existing account.

Once you have done this follow the instructions to activate your account. You can add multiple bank accounts to your account to accept multiple currencies.

7.2 SETTING UP PAYPAL

If you are looking to set up Paypal on your website, you first need to get your Sandbox Client ID/Secret and Live Client ID/Secret. Follow the steps below to find them.

1. You need to go to the PayPal website https://developer.paypal.com and click on "Log into Dashboard" using your Business Account. Set up a business account if you haven't got one.

2. After you have logged in, create a Sandbox Business Account to be able to make test payments later. Click on Accounts in the Sandbox section and then click on Create Account.

3. If/when you have created a sandbox account, click on "My Apps and Credentials" in the menu on the left and then on "Create App."

4. Give your Paypal app a name and choose your created developer (sandbox) account. After you have finished, click on "Create App".

5. As soon as the app is created, the details of the app you just created will open. You should now see the Client ID and an option below to see the Secret Key.

6. To get your live credentials, go back to "My Apps and Credentials." You will see a toggle for going between sandbox and live, so go to Live and click on 'Create App.

7. Again, give your Paypal app a name and choose your created developer account. After you have finished, click on ‘Create App.

8. As soon as the app is created, the details of the app you just created will open. You should now see the Client ID and an option below to see the Secret Key.

Once you have followed this process, insert the relevant digits into the PayPal boxes in your Payment area in the Studio Website tab. You are now ready to take payments through PayPal.

7.3 SETTING UP BRAINTREE

If you have chosen to use Stripe you cannot use Braintree at the same time. Choose one payment provider.

Head to https://signups.braintreepayments.com/ and begin by creating a Braintree account.

After creating an account, the next few steps will guide you through the application process. You will be asked to provide information to verify your business and the identity of individuals involved in your business. This form should take you about 5–10 minutes to complete.

Once you have completed the application, it will take a few days for your account to be verified. Following confirmation, you'll be able to take card payments on your TPC website. To do this, you will need to find your MERCHANT ID, PUBLIC API KEY, PRIVATE API KEY, and MERCHANT ID ACCOUNT KEY. To find these, follow the instructions in the Braintree link below:

7.3A MERCHANT KEYS

A single Braintree gateway can have multiple merchant accounts to process transactions for different businesses or currencies. Each merchant account within a gateway can be identified by its unique merchant account ID (Merchant Key).

Therefore, If you'd like to take different currencies, such as EUR and USD, you will need to contact Braintree directly and ask them to provide you with the Merchant Account ID for these currencies.

Once you have received the new Merchant Account ID's, put them in the relevant boxes provided in the Payment section of your Studio Website Tab.

Braintree will give you the option of either converting the additional currencies into the currency you use. For example, converting EUR and USD payments into GBP, or if you'd like to set different currencies to payout to your corresponding currency bank accounts (if you have them) you can do this as well.

NOTE: IF YOU FILL THE EUR AND USD BOXES WITH THE GBP KEYS, THE BRAINTREE SYSTEM WILL THINK EUROS AND DOLLARS ARE POUNDS.

IMPORTANT: IF YOU WANT TO ACCEPT CARD PAYMENTS FOR ADDITIONAL CURRENCIES, YOU MUST CONTACT BRAINTREE AND REQUEST MERCHANT ID'S FOR THEM.
