Stripe Setup

Stripe is one of the primary payment gateways supported by HelpYouSponsor. Follow the steps below to set up Stripe:

1. Create a Stripe account at https://stripe.com/

2. Log in to your new Stripe account and retrieve your API Keys. They can be found by clicking "Developers" on the top menu and selecting "API keys" in the dropdown options. Make sure you are not in "Test mode" so that you can accept live payments. Copy the "Publishable key" and "Secret Key" and head back to HelpYouSponsor.

   
3. In HelpYouSponsor, navigate to "Payment Gateways" under the "Payouts" tab and click "Setup payments".

   

   This will open up a drawer for you to setup your Stripe payment gateway. Click "Setup Stripe Connect" and follow the instructions given by Stripe to complete the setup.

   
4. After setting up Stripe, you have to enable Stripe payments for your sponsorship programs. To do this follow the steps below.

   1. Navigate to "Programs" under "Options" in the main menu on the left and click the "Program Settings" tab. This will show you all the program settings in the application and the sponsorship programs attached to them.

      
   2. Choose the program setting of your choice and click "Edit". This will open up a drawer showing the details of the program setting. Scroll down to the "Order Page Options" category and make sure the "Use Credit Card Processing" checkbox is checked and click "Save".
