To receive Automatic Payments with terminals, you need to click on Configurations > Configurations.

Then click on API > Merchant Accounts > Start invoicing with Stripe in under an hour.

Once the client has completed the registration via the Stripe button, an Account Number (Stripe account ID) will be sent to the client . Next, click on +New in the Merchant Accounts menu.

On the next page, enter the following information:

Processor (Stripe Connect);
Currency;

Account number (Stripe account ID).

All you have to do is confirm the account you will use for payments, and click Save and Close.

Once this number is saved, remote payments by end customers will automatically become active.

Note: Just make sure that the Stripe account is 100% active and validated before you start accepting payments.
