While you are on the "Connectors" tab and click on the View icon to view the Stripe Settings page:
If the "Secret Key" and "Publishable Key" fields display asterisks (*), it indicates that your keys have already been entered. If these fields are without asterisks, you will need to input the keys. In the case of the latter, click the Edit button to access the Stripe Payments Settings pop-up window:
Once you are on the Stripe Payments Settings pop-up window appears, input the secret key and publishable key into the corresponding fields:
You can find your keys directly from your Stripe account under the "For Developers" section. Please note that the secret key is one-time use only. If you require another secret key, then Stripe will need to give you another secret key:
Once you have added the Stripe Connector, you will be able to choose the "Credit Card" option from the "Type" drop-down when adding a payment.
By selecting this option in the Add Payment pop-up window, you will either see:
Blank fields for the credit card number, zip code, etc., where you can input the information associated with the credit card:
If you have previously used a credit card for the customer's account, you can opt to select from the list of previously used cards, each displaying the card type, last four digits, and expiration date. Alternatively, you can choose to use a new credit card by selecting the "Use Another Payment Method" option:
After you have indicated which credit card you would like to use, input the payment amount. Once you are satisfied with the data entered, click the Add button to complete the transaction. By default, once the payment is processed your customer will receive a receipt. You can navigate to this page for more information, Receipts and paid invoices. Please note that this is third-party page, and MobiWork is not responsible for the content that appears on this page.
Note: Please ensure that your customer has an email associated with their profile. If there is no email address connected with the customer, then you will be unable to process the credit card. If your customer lacks an email, please enter a dummy email address into their profile (e.g., noreply@business.com).
Please be aware that selecting the credit card option when adding a payment, even without processing the payment, registers as an "intent" in Stripe and is recorded in Stripe's logs. We recommend using the Stripe dashboard to verify that payments have successfully processed. While MobiWork may display a "Paid" status, only the Stripe dashboard provides a complete record of all transactions, including successful and failed payments.
Note: Please note that the processed credit card information will automatically be stored in Stripe's secure vault, and not on MobiWork's servers.
ACH Payments
Once you have set up ACH payments in Stripe, you simply need to input the customer's bank account details.
To add the ACH information for the customer, begin by accessing the Add Payment pop-up window:
From there, select the US Bank Account icon and proceed to enter the following information:
Input the customer's email address.
Enter the customer's first and last name.
Once this contact information is provided, you have two options for registering the bank information:
You can search for the required bank, either by using the search bar or selecting the bank from the provided list. This method will require you to log in with the customer's bank username and password:
Alternatively, you can manually enter the routing and account numbers. Please note that this option may take a couple of business days to process:
If you prefer your customer to input their bank account information themselves, you can send them the payment link directly, allowing them to enter their data.
If you would like to process an ACH payment through Stripe, please ensure that the ACH payment option is enabled on the Stripe portal.
You have the flexibility to set a maximum transaction limit for credit card payments processed through Stripe. Transactions exceeding this set limit will automatically be processed via ACH payment. For instance, if you set the limit at $50, any payment of $51 or more will be processed as an ACH payment:
By default, the "Max Transaction Limit" field is blank, meaning there is no maximum limit imposed on either credit card transactions or ACH payments.
To disable the Stripe Connector, you will first need to access the "Connectors" tab from your "Account Settings." For more information on how to access this page, please see the Add the Stripe Connector subsection.
Once you are on this tab, click on the Individual Actions button for the Stripe Payments connector. From the drop-down that appears, select the "Disable" option:
This option will disable the Stripe Connector for your MobiWork account.
