How to setup Stripe

- Ensure you are not connected to Chaser’s legacy Unipaas payment provider - if you are, please use this guide: https://help.chaserhq.com/chaser-pay/migrate-from-unipaas-to-stripe-for-chaser-pay
- Click Connect with Stripe. You are redirected to Stripe to authorise the connection.
- Sign in to your Stripe account and approve Chaser as a connected application.
- You are returned to Chaser and the card shows Connected with a Disconnect option.

Set up payment methods
- On the same Payment methods screen, toggle Card payments on.
- If available on your plan, enable Direct Debit methods:
- BACS Debit for GBP payments
- SEPA Debit for EUR payments
- ACH for US dollar payments
- BECS Debit for AUD payments

Access your dashboard
- Click Chaser Pay in the side bar menu on the left to open your Chaser Pay Stripe dashboard.
- View Activity to see payments, refunds, and payouts. Use Documents and Account for Stripe Connect embedded features.

Important things to know
- You can only have one payment provider connected at a time. Disconnect any legacy Unipaas connection first, or the Stripe option may not appear.
- Chaser charges 0.5% on top of Stripe's processing fees for every Chaser Pay transaction. You also pay Stripe's standard fees unless you have a pre-negotiated rate with Stripe.
- Your customers' payment experience does not change. They still pay through the same invoice payment portal.
- Direct Debit methods are behind feature flags and may not be available on all plans.
