How to activate PassionPayments

Though Stripe supports other payment methods, PassionPayments only supports credit cards and debit cards currently. You can, however, use a different checkout URL like PayPal.Me Link or other external checkouts to collect payment from your clients if they prefer to use another payment method.
3. Activating your PassionPayments
3.1 In your Passion.io account, go to Settings > Integrations > Connect Account:
3.2 You can then sign in to your Stripe Account if you already have one, or activate a new one by filling out the form.
IMPORTANT: For the business website field, you can use your passion subdomain (subdomain.passion.io)
3.3 Once activated, make sure that on your Sales Page, the Web Checkout URL for the Pricing Widget is EMPTY. Only fill in this field if you are using an external checkout.
3.4 The next time your clients click on your Call To Action button in your Web App Sales Page, they will be directed to Sign Up then to the Payment Page:
3.5 Once payment is successful, your clients can begin accessing the content they purchased.
4. Your checkout URL
4.1 Go to your Pricing Plans page, then click on the COPY link to get your checkout URL
Paste the copied URL into your browser to check if you are able to view your checkout page.
This is a sample of how it looks like when accessed (after you get past the sign up page):
5. Test Purchase
Create a TEST PURCHASE once you have connected your Stripe account. This will help ensure that the integration works and your clients have access to the products included in the pricing plan(s). We recommend setting your plan's price at $5 USD.
When doing a test purchase, make sure to log out of your Web App and use a different email address other than your Passion.io connected email address so you don't get an error.
Once you have successfully opened your PassionPayments checkout URL, you can do a test purchase by inputting your card details to confirm the order.
Once the test purchase is successful, check on your Stripe account if the payment went through. You may then choose to refund your payment back to your card via Stripe.
6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
I'm having problems with my checkout page and receiving payments. What do I do?
Have you done a Test Purchase? If you're having issues taking payments please refer to this article: How to troubleshoot common PassionPayment issues to guide you.
How do I know if my clients have access?
You can check all of your registered clients via your PassionMetrics page on your Passion.io account
Can I set up installment payments through the app?

Does Passion.io collect taxes?
We do not collect taxes for your purchases or sales.
For PassionPayments, Stripe takes care of the taxes.The best thing to do is to check this link in your Stripe account; https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/tax.
For branded apps, Apple/Google sells in your name and pays these taxes. They pay out “proceeds” to you creators (after taxes + commissions).
For all other tax concerns, as the tax rules vary from country to country/jurisdiction, it is still best to ask and consult your tax expert.
I'm having trouble connecting Passion.io with my Stripe account?
You might have to disconnect any account that was previously connected with Passion.io or create a new Stripe account if possible (multiple active accounts).
