1- In case all locations are to be linked to the same bank account: Only 1 Parent Pay account should be created and we will migrate all locations into that Parent Pay account in stripe, or else the client will pay multiple fees to stripe for having multiple accounts

2- It is only in the case where a company has franchisees and each one of them has a different bank account then multiple accounts are needed under the same company

Service Level:

  • The time needed for the stripe account to be verified is 24 hours.

Statuses:

  • Payments ( enabled means you can accept payments to your stripe account, disabled)

Failure to present the needed documents or proof will result in delaying the enabling of the payments and payouts.

4- Click on "Pay now" or "Pay Balance"

5- Choose card payments or PADs. (If the PAD option doesn't show up, click on "check out as guests" option, then choose the PAD option)

6- Fill in the fields ( If you get out of the page before you fill out the fields, you will see "Payment processing". It takes 1 hour for it to be available again)

7- Once the bank info is added, sometimes it may take more than 3 to 5 minutes for the verification to reach you. (if the verification is not received at all, you should check with your bank.

8- If during the process, the stripe page fails and falls back to the child profile, please restart the process.

NB: In case you are using the browser and nothing happens when you click on "Pay now", you will need to enable the pop ups from the settings of the browser, either using the laptop or from your mobile phone.

Qs & As:

Q1: What if the PAD option doesn't show up?

A1: Click on "Check out as guest", then choose the Pad option

Q2: I got out of the page before filling the field and now the status says payment processing, what should I do?

A2: You will see "Payment processing" for 1 hour, and after that time had passed you would be able to try again.

Q3: The verification code did not arrive within 3 to 5 minutes, what should I do?

A3: Wait for a bit longer.

Q4: The verification code did not arrive at all after waiting, what should I do?

A4: Contact the bank, because this is where the verification is coming from.

Q5: I was filling in the fields when the page crashed and kicked me out, what should I do?

A5: Please try again by clicking on "Pay now", or "Pay Balance".

Q6: I am using the browser, and nothing happens when we click on Pay now. Why is that?
