Stripe and Stripe Token

Back to top

To process your Ontraport payments using your Stripe gateway, set up your Stripe account first. Once you’ve configured your Stripe account, you can log in to Ontraport and get connected.

The Stripe gateway allows you to use the multi-currency support feature when logging transactions or setting up order forms. 

Steps in Stripe

Back to top

1. Sign up and configure Stripe to take payments.
2. Log in to your Stripe account and click Payments to view your payments and transactions screen.

For assistance customizing your Stripe settings, contact their support here.

Steps in Ontraport

Back to top

1. Log into your Ontraport account and go to Sales → Settings → Gateways.
   • Or click here to jump to your payment gateway collection.
2. Click New Gateway.
3. Name your gateway in the top left corner.

•  View the available currencies here.

Pro Tip: The difference between Stripe Token and Stripe is how the credit card information is stored.

• Stripe Token uses an encrypted “token” to store card details on Stripe’s system. Ontraport stores that token and matches it to the customer card data on Stripe’s servers.
• Ontraport will store the credit card data on our servers when you use the regular Stripe gateway.

Steps

Back to top

No matter which payment gateway you choose to integrate with Ontraport, you’ll need to do the following:

Set up your payment gateway

Back to top

When logged in to your account with your chosen payment gateway, configure your gateway to accept payments first. While each gateway will have its own unique requirements, in order to use Ontraport’s automation tools for payment plans, subscription payments, upsells and free trials, you will need to follow these steps first.

1. Disable CVV or CVS checking, or set it to “not required.” It is illegal to store the three digit CVV/CVS code, so payment forms that will charge the card again at a later date will not work if they require the unstored CVV/CVS code.
2. Disable any address or zip code verification, or set it to “not required.” This is optional but recommended because these checks often cause transactions to fail unnecessarily.
3. Check to make sure the gateway is working and processing transactions correctly and in the correct currency for your Ontraport account.

Add your gateway to Ontraport

Back to top

Once you’ve configured your payment gateway to these recommended settings for optimal performance, you can add it to Ontraport.

1. Navigate to Sales → Settings → Gateways, then click New Gateway.
2. In the top left corner, name your gateway. This is only for internal use and cannot be seen by contacts.
3. In the dropdown menu, select the payment gateway you are using.
4. Provide the integration details obtained from the individual gateway. This will vary depending on the gateway you choose, but they usually involve one to three key numbers.

Set your default gateway

Back to top

This is the gateway that is automatically selected when you manually charge a transaction or set up a sales form.

1. Go to Sales → Settings → Gateways to view your saved gateways.
2. Select your preferred gateway and click Make Default.

Configure your currency in Ontraport

Back to top

1. Once you’ve integrated your payment gateway, go to your → Administration → Localization.
2. Select your currency from the dropdown menu.
3. Choose how you want the currency symbol to appear.
4. Select the number format in the dropdown box.
5. Verify that the gateway and currency setting work correctly by processing a live transaction on a valid credit card and verify the charge is reflected correctly in your payment gateway and bank.
