Enable Credit Card Charge

Add Credit Card Charge as a charge method for members.

When this feature is on, members can add charged balance by credit card in addition to cash charge.

Pokepay uses Stripe as the payment service for Credit Card Charge. Start using the feature in this order.

  1. Set up the connection: Connect Stripe and Pokepay so members can use Credit Card Charge.
  2. Turn on the feature: Turn on Charge from card in the Pokepay Creator App.
  3. Check deposits: Sales from Credit Card Charge are deposited from Stripe to your bank account.

The default Stripe deposit schedule is weekly on Fridays. You can change the day and frequency from the Stripe Dashboard.
