Configure payment providers and verify orders
Where: Admin → System → Payments
Before you start
Stripe and PayPal are integrated in this source baseline. Other cards store configuration but do not establish functioning checkout. Blank secret fields preserve stored credentials; host environment values take precedence. Provider cards save separately. A full plan refund removes the plan; a partial refund leaves it in place.
Step by step
- Enable Take payments and choose the board currency.
- Open the provider’s own card; read its integrated/not-integrated status before entering credentials.
- For an integrated provider choose sandbox/test, add the requested keys and callback configuration, and save that card.
- Complete a sandbox plan purchase and a premium-download purchase; verify actual confirmed order state.
- Switch to live only with the matching live credentials and endpoint configuration.
- For a refund use the provider-backed refund action and confirm its accepted result before treating the money as returned.

The board
| One switch and one currency for the whole board. Every provider below has its own card and its own Save button, so changing one can never overwrite another. | Control | What to enter / effect |
|---|---|---|
| Take payments | Until this is on, no checkout is offered and no plan can be bought. Plans can still be requested for an administrator to confirm by hand. Initial default: 0. |
|
| Currency | Choices: US dollar; Euro; Pound sterling; Canadian dollar; Australian dollar. Initial default: USD. |
Check the result
Test success, failure, cancel, abandoned return and duplicate provider notification. Verify a pending or forged browser return never grants access.
Common questions and troubleshooting
No provider offered: board switch, provider enabled state and all required keys must be ready. Keys seem ignored: inspect environment precedence and test/live mismatch. Refund failed: do not manually record a success the provider rejected.
