What payment providers are for
A payment provider is your own Mollie or Stripe account, linked to Leat so contacts can pay online. You'll find them under Settings (the gear icon at the top right) → Payment provider. Only admins see this page.
What they're used for
A linked payment provider takes the payment when someone buys:
- a gift card through the widget on your website
- a gift card through the contacts portal
- prepaid credit through the contacts portal
If you don't sell any of these online, you don't need one.
What they're not for
- Payments at your till. Those go through your POS and its own payment terminal, not through Leat.
- Your webshop's checkout. Shopify, WooCommerce and other ecommerce integrations take payment through the shop itself.
- Paying for your Leat subscription.
Linking one
Leat works with Mollie and Stripe. You can link either or both. If you link both, click Make default on the one that should take your payments. See Linking a Mollie account or Linking a Stripe account.
One payment provider for all your locations
A payment provider belongs to your whole account, not to a business profile. You can link one Mollie account and one Stripe account, and every online sale is paid into the one marked default, whichever location it's for.
You can't link a separate Mollie or Stripe account, or a separate API key, per business profile. If each of your locations has its own Mollie account, pick the one that should receive your online sales and link that one.
Each sale is still recorded in Leat against a business profile: a widget sale against the business profile set on the widget, a contacts portal sale against the business profile linked to your contacts portal.
Mollie and Stripe know that business profile too. Every payment we create there carries it in the payment's metadata, as business_profile_name and business_profile_uuid, so you can tell your locations' sales apart in your Mollie or Stripe account.
