💳 Set Up Payment Settings at Checkout in Fleetwire!

Ready to accept payments in your online store or through payment requests? Fleetwire makes it easy to connect with Stripe, so you can start accepting credit card payments, charge cards, or authorize holds directly from your dashboard. Let’s walk through setting up Stripe for your checkout to ensure a smooth payment process for your customers!

🎯 Why Configure Payment Settings?

Setting up payment methods in Fleetwire helps you:

Accept Payments Easily: Enable credit card payments for your online store (e.g., testcompany.fleetwire.io) and payment requests.
Offer Flexibility: Charge customers immediately or authorize holds to capture funds later.
Streamline Operations: Manage all payments directly from your Fleetwire dashboard.

Note: Fleetwire currently supports Stripe for credit card payments, with more options like Square available in other guides.

🛠 How to Set Up Payment Settings with Stripe

Follow these steps to connect your Fleetwire account with Stripe and start accepting credit card payments at checkout.

Step 1: Connect Fleetwire with Stripe

Link your Stripe account to Fleetwire to enable payment processing.

In your Fleetwire dashboard, go to Settings > Payments at Checkout.
Under the Payment section, click Connect with Stripe—this will open a new window directing you to Stripe.
If you already have a Stripe account, click Already have an account and log in. Otherwise, fill out the required information to create a new Stripe account.
Follow Stripe’s setup steps to complete the connection.
Once done, close the Stripe window and return to your Fleetwire dashboard.



Pro Tip: Ensure your Stripe account is fully verified (e.g., bank details added) to avoid delays in accepting payments.

Step 2: Test Your Payment Setup

Verify that Stripe is connected and payments work as expected in your online store.

Visit your online store (e.g., testcompany.fleetwire.io) and start a test reservation.
During checkout, select a credit card payment option (you can make yourself a coupon or lower the price for the test).
Check the order in Orders to confirm the payment was processed successfully.
If needed, test authorizing a hold by creating a payment request in Orders—see Authorizing and Capturing Credit Card Holds for details.

Quick Tip: Use Stripe’s test mode initially to avoid real charges while testing—switch to live mode once everything works perfectly.
