Introduction
Supporting Stripe as a payment provider for TripBuilder allows users to make payments through credit cards or alternative payment methods, removing payment barriers and enhancing the user experience.
To enable Stripe, customers must select Stripe as a Payment Processor in Settings.

Configuration
Stripe Connect: Simple Configuration from Cockpit
After selecting Stripe as a Payment Processor, a “Connect with Stripe” button will be displayed, where customers will be redirected to the Stripe website. Customers already with a Stripe account can log in and complete the setup. Alternatively, non-Stripe customers can sign up through the link and then do the setup to connect with TripBuilder.
User experience is improved through a transparent configuration process, avoiding the need for our customers to enter complex configuration parameters.
We also support a manual account selection for customers already connected to Stripe. Customers will be able to select a Connected Account ID after a successful “Connect with Stripe” flow within their TripBuilder instance. After selection, the Connect Account ID will be re-validated by TripBuilder, stored and applied to future transactions.
This feature is particularly relevant when multiple Distribution Channels use Stripe, as the same Connected Account ID could be selected, avoiding multiple “Stripe Connect” flows.
Please note that if a manually selected configuration is defined, it will be superseded should the “Connect with Stripe” method be utilised.
Testing
Nezasa's STAGING and DEV environment use the sandbox environment of Stripe. As a customer of Stripe, you can switch to your a sandbox account when logged in.
Please note that only test credit cards can be used in that environment. The list of test credit cards can be found in the Stripe documentation: https://stripe.com/docs/testing?testing-method=card-numbers
