Card readers, PayPal and Venmo

Card money goes straight to your own account. BoothNest adds no processing fee; your processor charges its normal rate.

1. Stripe: sign in at dashboard.stripe.com, open Developers, then API keys, and copy your Secret key. Paste it on Card Payments and press Connect Stripe.
2. Square: sign in at developer.squareup.com, create an application, switch it to Production and copy the Production access token. Paste it on Card Payments and press Connect Square.
3. Pair your reader on the same page: a Stripe WisePOS E or S700, or a Square Terminal.
4. PayPal and Venmo: sign in at developer.paypal.com with your PayPal business account, choose Live, and create an app of type Merchant. Paste its Client ID and Secret on Card Payments.
5. At the register choose PayPal / Venmo and the customer scans the code with their phone.
6. If a Square Terminal does not pick up a charge, the register says so after 20 seconds and cancels the charge after 90 seconds so you can take another payment type. Check that the terminal is turned on and connected to the internet.
7. Keys are checked before they are saved, stored encrypted, and never shown again.
