Set up Stripe payments
Updated October 7, 2026 · 1 min read
Prepare Stripe for appointment payments on a paid plan.
Confirm your setup
Use the Stripe account intended for your business and review its activation requirements. The specific credentials and connection method must match the fields shown in your Accurate Scheduler payment settings.
Connect and verify
- Open your payment settings and choose Stripe.
- Follow the connection controls shown in the workspace.
- Use a matching Stripe test environment when supported.
- Complete a test booking and inspect the resulting payment record in both systems.
- Check failed-payment behavior before using live payments.
Protect payment credentials
Do not put secret keys into customer-facing content or support screenshots. If a key is exposed, rotate it through Stripe and update the connection using your administrator workflow.
Go live deliberately
Check currency, service prices, provider status and customer terms. A successful test payment does not itself activate a live Stripe account. See Stripe’s testing documentation for provider-side test guidance.
Check the current plans for feature availability and monthly appointment capacity. Unlimited staff and services do not mean unlimited appointments.
