Key Steps
1. Open the Integrations area in Settings
In the left-hand menu, click Settings.
Scroll down and select Integrations.
This is where payment and checkout integrations are managed.
2. Access Payments and Checkout settings
On the right-hand side, locate Payments and Checkout.
Click Manage to view available payment processor options.
Review the available providers, including:
Stripe
PayPal
Other international options
Square
3. Choose Stripe and begin the connection process
Select Stripe as the payment processor.
Click Connect to start the setup.
Follow the prompts to either:
Create a new Stripe account, or
Sign in to an existing Stripe account.
4. Complete the Stripe account connection
If you already have a Stripe account, choose the existing account option.
Finish the authorization steps in Stripe.
Once complete, you will be returned to Alvea automatically.
5. Configure payment methods for different product types
Review the available payment method settings.
Turn payment methods on or off depending on how you want to accept payments.
Apply different payment preferences for:
Invoices
Funnels
Stores
Other product types as needed
6. Test the checkout and delivery flow
Use Stripe’s test mode to verify the integration before going live.
Search for Stripe test card numbers and use a valid test card.
Confirm that:
Checkout processes correctly
Payment is accepted successfully
Course or digital product delivery works as expected
7. Direct customers to Stripe for subscription payment updates
If a subscription payment fails or is cancelled, instruct the customer to update their card details in Stripe.
Customers must make these changes directly in the Stripe portal when Stripe is the payment integration.
Find the correct portal link by searching for Stripe Client Portal and share it with the customer.
8. Confirm payment processing is ready in Alvéya
After setup and testing are complete, verify that the payment integration is active.
Begin accepting payments through Alvea for your products and services.
Cautionary Notes
Do not skip testing before using the integration live.
If using Stripe for subscriptions, failed or cancelled payment methods must be updated in the Stripe portal, not inside Alvea.
Make sure you are connecting the correct Stripe account for the business or product being sold.
Payment method availability may vary by product type and region.
Tips for Efficiency
Use Stripe test mode first to avoid accidental live charges.
Keep the Stripe Client Portal link handy for customer support.
Decide in advance which payment methods should be enabled for each product type to avoid confusion later.
If you manage multiple product types, document which payment settings are active for each one.
