    Online payments

    Set up Stripe, Telr, PayTabs or Tap under Settings → Payments so invoices can be paid by link.

    Settings → Payments holds your payment gateways (for pay by link) and your bank feeds. Only owners and admins see and edit this tab; other members only see which gateways exist.

    Add a gateway

    1. Click Gateway and choose the provider: Stripe, Telr, PayTabs, Tap or Simulated (for trying the flow; no money moves).
    2. Choose Test or Live mode and enter the credentials from the provider's dashboard:
      • Stripe: secret key (sk_test_… / sk_live_…) and the webhook signing secret.
      • Telr: store id, authentication key and the webhook secret; tick test transactions while testing.
      • PayTabs: profile id, server key and region.
      • Tap: secret key and the webhook secret.
    3. Tick Default gateway if it should be preselected on invoices, and Active.
    4. Save. The card shows the webhook URL for the gateway; register it in the provider's dashboard so payments are confirmed even if the buyer closes the page before returning.

    Credentials are stored in your organization and never shown to other members or sent to the API.

    Good to know

    • Test-mode gateways are for test documents and trials; live invoices use live gateways.
    • Payments confirmed by a gateway appear on the invoice with method online, source gateway and the provider's reference. Deleting such a payment does not reopen the link.
    • The public pay page lives at /pay/<token> of your Alya Books app URL.
