Card payments in Sesamy, including Apple Pay and Google Pay, run on your own Stripe account, connected to Sesamy through Stripe Connect. You own the merchant relationship, and Stripe pays out directly to your bank account.
Before you start
You need to be an admin in the Sesamy portal for the publication you are setting up. Decide who in your organisation should own the Stripe account before anyone starts, since that person has to complete the whole setup and becomes the owner of the account.
Set up Stripe Connect
Log in to the Sesamy portal and go to Settings.
Open the Stripe connect tab.
Click the button to start the setup, and follow the steps in Stripe until you are done.
Always start from the button in the Sesamy portal, not directly in Stripe. Otherwise your account will not be connected to Sesamy.
Things to know
The person who starts the setup has to finish it. Their email address is locked in the form and can't be changed afterwards. If the wrong person started it, we have to create a completely new Stripe account for you, so contact us before trying again.
Can't see the Stripe connect tab? You are probably not an admin on that publication. Ask an admin in your organisation to give you admin access, then log out of the portal and back in.
Access to your Stripe dashboard
Only the owner of your Stripe account can invite colleagues or change who has access. They do this from Team settings in the Stripe dashboard. Sesamy can't add users to your Stripe account, but we can tell you who in your organisation owns it. Stripe explains how to invite team members here: Invite team members or developers to access your Stripe account.
Payouts
Stripe pays card payments directly into your bank account, not through Sesamy. Check your payouts, transactions and fees in the Stripe dashboard. Read more in Financial Reporting Overview.
