What is the Payment feature?

The Payment interactive feature allows a member to pay for meeting room or amenity reservations, purchase tickets, or order items.

Note: Payments are sent and received through the Stripe payment platform. Channels must have an active Stripe account set up first in order to use this feature. To create a Stripe account, go to http://www.stripe.com/register.

When the Payment feature is enabled, the Submit button changes to a Purchase button.

Connecting Stripe to your Merchant Account

To add Payments to an interactive content item, you need to first set up a Merchant Account to receive payments. We use the Stripe payment platform to manage all transactions safely and securely. Navigate to Billings & Payments > Merchant Accounts to get started.
