# Set up Stripe payments
## Settings \> Pricing \> Payment methods
Stripe supports payments in 46 countries, and you can start accepting payments as soon as you submit your account application. It also gives you access to 100+ global payment methods, activated from your Stripe dashboard — including Apple Pay, Affirm, Afterpay/Clearpay, Klarna, Cash App Pay, Link, PayNow, WeChat Pay, PromptPay, Przelewy24, iDEAL, Bancontact, Alipay, Revolut Pay, eftpos Australia, and more.
To use Stripe with Evalato, you need an active Stripe account and a completed setup for the payment method below.
Registrations paid through Stripe are automatically marked as paid once the payment succeeds.
### What you need
- **A bank account** — where your funds land once payments start coming in.
- **A merchant account** — routes funds from your customers to your bank account. It works like a line of credit, so you'll need to submit an application before Stripe activates it. Before activation, you can only use Stripe in test mode; every feature is available except charging a real card. Once activated, you can start charging real cards immediately.
### Setup instructions
### **1. Create a payment method in Evalato**
In Evalato, go to **Settings \> Pricing \> Payment methods**, press **Add payment method**, and choose **Credit card (Stripe)**. Leave this panel open — you'll come back to it to paste in three values from Stripe.
### **2. Create a restricted key in Stripe**
A restricted key is scoped to what Evalato actually needs, so it's the safer choice over a full-access secret key.
1. Sign in to your Stripe account at[stripe.com](https://stripe.com).
2. Go to **Developers \> API keys** and press **Create restricted key**.
3. Choose **Providing this key to a third-party application**, then press **Continue**.
4. Under **Enter website details**, add a **Name** (e.g., "Evalato") and the **URL** https://evalato.com, then press **Create restricted key**.
5. Copy the new key and paste it into the **Secret key** field of the payment method in Evalato.
Note that the key should start with rk\_live\_ once you're out of test mode.
### **3. Add your publishable key**
Still in **Developers \> API keys**, copy the **Publishable key** from the Standard keys section and paste it into the **Publishable key** field in Evalato.
### **4. Create a webhook destination in Stripe**
1. Go to **Developers \> Webhooks (**note that some Stripe accounts route through **Workbench** first **— Developers \> Workbench \> Webhooks)** and press **Add destination.**
2. Under **Select events**, keep the scope set to **Your account**, search for payment\_intent.succeeded, select it, and press **Continue**. This is the event Evalato needs to mark a registration as paid.
3. Under **Choose destination type**, select **Webhook endpoint** and press **Continue**.
4. Under **Configure destination**, name it (e.g., "Evalato"), add this **Endpoint URL**: https://pro.evalato.com/payment-notification/stripe. Make sure the URL includes https:// or Stripe will flag it as invalid. Press **Create destination**.
### **5. Add the webhook secret**
On the destination's page, find **Signing secret**, press **Reveal**, and copy it. Paste it into the **Webhook secret** field of the payment method in Evalato.
Note that the webhook secret should start with whsec\_.
### **6. Finish and save**
Set the **Currency** to match what you want to charge, choose which **Payment icons** to display on your registration form, switch the method to **Active**, and press **Save**.
**Important**: Turn off *View test data* in Stripe before copying any keys into Evalato. Keys generated in test mode only work for testing — they won't process real charges.
### Receipt emails
Stripe can email customers a receipt after a successful payment. Turn this on from your[email settings](https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/emails) by checking **Email customers for: Successful payments**. If receipts aren't sending,[Stripe's documentation](https://stripe.com/docs/receipts) has more detail.
### Payment icons
Add payment icons to your registration form to show which payment methods you accept. Some icons may only be relevant in certain countries — they're a visual indicator only, not a guarantee of availability. Check your payment processor's documentation if you're unsure which methods it supports where.
### Enable Google Pay and Apple Pay
Entrants can pay with Google Pay or Apple Pay if it's enabled on their device or browser. To turn this on:
- Go to your[Stripe dashboard](https://dashboard.stripe.com/login?redirect=%2Fsettings%2Fpayment_method_domains) and add your program's domain (e.g., yourprogram.evalato.com) — the domain of the specific Evalato program collecting payments, whether or not you've embedded the registration form on your own site.
- Confirm Google Pay is enabled in your[default Stripe payment methods configuration](https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payment_methods).
