Receive payments online
In order to accept credit cards and online payments you can choose between several different online payments that we have built support for.
We recommend to use our PayPal partner integration if that is supported in your country. With PayPal you can click sign up from your organizer manager and then follow this guide.
If you prefer or need to use another payment gateway we have built support for several options in different parts of the world.
Go to your organizer settings and choose the payment gateway that you want to use.
For each payment gateway you use there are API keys that you need to find in the gateways settings and then add them to Smoothcomp. Make sure to use the live keys.
- Once the API keys are added or a connection has been established the payments will go via Smoothcomp and to your account.
Below are the current payment gateways that we support:
- PayPal
- Stripe
- If you use Stripe you will have even more options via Stripe. Read more in this article.
- MIGS
- Mercado Pago
- Safe 2 Pay (Pix and credit card, Brazil only)
- Authorize.net
- PagSeguro
- Fondy
- N-Genius
- Geidea
- ADCB Merchant Services
- Paystack
You can have several online payments activated if you like, just remember to check them all ;)
We also offer custom payments (manual).
If you choose to not accept payments online and instead have custom payments (payment at the event or give instructions for bank transfers) you need to add the instructions for this in the custom payment settings.
We strongly recommend an online payment solution, especially if it is a bigger event. With online payment, athletes will automatically be approved once payments are made and if they cancel they will be refunded automatically (except from Mercado Pago).
