Setting Up Stripe Checkout

Note: You can still use standard Stripe if preferred.
2. Input Stripe Credentials
Navigate to the Payment tab in Registration Tech and input the following information (found in your Stripe account):
- Stripe Key
- Stripe Webhook Secret (available after completing Step 4A)
- Stripe Secret
3. Select Payment Methods
Choose which payment methods you want to enable for:
- Card
- Affirm
- Afterpay
- Klarna
These must be turned on both in Registration Tech and in your Stripe account.
To activate them in Stripe, go to:
Settings → Payments → Payment Methods
If a method is disabled in your Stripe account, it cannot be selected in Registration Tech and will result in an error on the payment page.
Note: Google Pay, Apple Pay, and Link only need to be turned on in your Stripe account. No action is needed in Registration Tech.
