Typically, merchant gateways require a merchant account and payment is all handled seamlessly through Blesta.
Non-merchant gateways usually do not require a merchant account, and payment is processed offsite on the gateway’s website.
Let’s learn how to install and configure a payment gateway. Click the Settings link in the upper right corner.
Then with the Company tab selected, click Payment Gateways.
To use a gateway, it first must be installed. Click Available to see which ones are available for installation.
Here you can see a list of all available gateways, both merchant and non-merchant.
Let’s go ahead and install the Stripe gateway. Click Install.
Next, we need to configure the gateway. Enter your Stripe API key… you’ll need to refer to your Stripe account to get it.
Check this box if you wish to store your client's credit card information offsite.
Select the currencies you wish to accept, then click Update Settings.
That’s it! We’ve successfully installed and configured our Stripe payment gateway.
Repeat this process for any additional gateways you wish to set up.
Payment gateways are separated into two categories: Merchant and Non-Merchant.
This is the end of the tutorial. You now know how to configure payment gateways in Blesta.
