Get paid by card and PayPal

Connect Stripe (your own account, or a Zunaro-managed one) and/or PayPal under Settings → Payments. Once card charges are enabled, buyers see "Pay by card" and "PayPal" at checkout — and ticket money goes to your own account, not Zunaro's.

Open SettingsPayments (owner only, like Billing) and connect a payment provider. Until one is connected, your storefront's checkout shows "Online payment is coming soon. Tickets can't be purchased online yet." — buyers can only use pay-later, if you've enabled it.

Two ways to take card payments with Stripe

When nothing is connected yet, the page offers two cards:

  • Connect your own Stripe — use your own Stripe account. Money from ticket sales lands directly in your Stripe balance and pays out on your own schedule. Recommended if you'll need funds before your event.
  • Let Zunaro collect payments for you — easiest for small organizers. Zunaro charges your buyers and transfers your earnings to you, keeping a percentage platform fee per card sale. No Stripe dashboard to manage — onboarding takes about 5 minutes.

In the managed mode, a Zunaro fee section lets you choose who pays the percentage fee: I absorb the fee (deducted from your payout, buyers see no extra line) or Buyers pay the fee (added to the buyer's total as a disclosed "Zunaro fee" line).

What "Connected" and "Card charges" mean

After connecting, a status card shows your masked account ID plus three checks: Card charges, Payouts, and Onboarding details, each marked Enabled / Not yet enabled (or Submitted / Not submitted).

Card charges enabled is the one that matters for selling — once it's on, Pay by card appears at checkout. Payouts can lag behind: "You can sell tickets now. Stripe is still verifying your details before enabling payouts — your money queues up safely in the meantime." Use Complete onboarding to finish any missing steps and Refresh status to re-check.

Once an account is active, a Payouts tab appears next to Overview: managed accounts see their available/pending balance, payout schedule, recent payouts, and an instant-payout option; own-Stripe accounts get a link to manage payouts in their Stripe dashboard.

Connect PayPal

PayPal connects with your own PayPal business account — payments go straight to your PayPal.

  1. Create a REST app in the PayPal Developer Dashboard.

  2. In the same app, add a webhook pointing at your store (the exact URL is shown in the connect form) and copy its ID.

  3. On the Payments page, select Connect PayPal and paste the Client ID, Client secret, and Webhook ID. Choose the EnvironmentSandbox for testing, Live for real money.

  4. Select Test & save. The credentials are tested against PayPal before anything is saved, and the secret is encrypted and never shown again.

What buyers see

With a provider connected, checkout offers Pay by card (Stripe) and/or PayPal, alongside Reserve now, pay at the venue if you've enabled Pay later (offline payment) under Other ways to sell.

Card and PayPal refunds flow back through the same provider the buyer paid with — see Refund tickets.
