To take payment in Spiro you will need to integrate your payment account. You will be able to generate 2 keys in your Stripe dashboard that you will need to paste into your Spiro Portal.

Once you have Stripe or Square integrated your clients will be able to pay you for your services, Spiro does not have any hand in this money exchange and the payment will go straight into your Stripe account. Then pending your Stripe options you can disburse this payment to your bank.

How to Confirm your Stripe Account is Integrated Correctly

Once you have integrated Stripe we will send a test transaction to your Stripe Dashboard. Please login to your Strip account and you should see 1 new transaction, we leave this as "incomplete" however this means you have successfully integrated!

Common Issues

  1. I am getting this error: "Your card was declined. Your request was in test mode, but used a non test card"

    1. In Stripe you have generated test API keys, please go back to your Stripe account and make sure both of the keys are not test keys (they have test in the key string). Generate non test keys and add these non test keys to Spiro

In your Square Account:

Square Setup for Spiro

  1. Visit: https://developer.squareup.com/console/en/apps

  2. Create an application:

  3. Give it a name (e.g. Spiro Application) and then press next

  4. Give the application access to: a. Accept Payments

    1. Build customer relationships

  5. Once your app has been created you should go to the “Production” settings and copy the “Production Access Token”

  6. Then navigate to “Locations” in the menu and copy the LocationID, this is the “Public Key” in Spiro

  7. Paste the LocationID and the Access Token in to Spiro
