NOTE: Spiro does not store credit card information directly.


All saved payment methods are stored securely within the customer’s Stripe, Square, or Titus account, depending on which payment gateway the company uses.

Most of the steps in this guide apply to both Stripe and Square.


However:

  • Stripe users will see the Link interface and can save cards during checkout or inside the Payment Methods tab.

  • Square users will not see the “Payment Methods” tab initially in the Agent Portal.
    That tab appears only after the agent has placed their first order, because Square requires an active payment token before allowing storage.

SQUARE

Agents using Square do not see the “Payment Methods” tab until after they have placed at least one order.

Once an agent has completed their first payment with Square:

  1. Go to Your Profile in the Agent Portal.

  2. Click Settings.

  3. Select Manage Payment Methods.

  4. Add or update your saved credit card.

All cards saved here are stored securely inside Square, not inside Spiro.

If the “Payment Methods” tab is missing, confirm:
✔ The agent has placed at least one order
✔ The Spiro customer has a Square gateway configured under Billing → Payment Gateways

From the admin portal, you can manage payment methods by going to the agents profile and Manage Payment Methods.
