Stripe Local Payment Methods - ACH, Direct Debit, Wallets, Buy Now, Pay Later, Apple Pay, Google Pay

YouLi connects to Stripe. We do NOT hold your money. We connect to YOUR Stripe account, which means we can support most of the methods including many local payment options.

Ready to enable more payment options for your clients via Stripe?

Once enabled, it will look something like this when they click the PAY NOW button on their YouLi Invoice or Checkout.

• YouLi connects to Stripe for most of our client's credit card transactions. We also support other gateways and direct payment methods.
• We do NOT hold your money, we simply facilitate the transfer (and sometimes take a booking fee).
• We connect to YOUR Stripe account, which means we can support many of the methods that Stripe makes available in your country, explore those here.

 

Example: Charging in USD with 5 methods

In the screenshot below, you can see 5 methods available via Stripe. But you don't have to have all these - in fact, we recommend you only enable one or two!

• Credit Card
• Afterpay
• US bank account (ACH)
• Google Pay (wallet)
• Affirm (hiding at the end)

Basic Onboarding - in 3 Steps

 

These features can be enabled via Stripe without an onboarding call with YouLi, just follow these 3 steps:

1. STRIPE: You need to enable the payment method on your Stripe Dashboard
   1. We recommend recording this process with Loom or another tool to share with YouLi support in case of issues.
   2. Choose "YouLi Configuration" from the drop-down as shown below. Pick the configuration you want to start from. Pick "Default" if you're not sure.
      1. 
   3. Click the [TURN ON] button on the right near the method you want
      
      
      1. Example:
         
   4. Follow the prompts to complete the necessary information
   5. Click "Turn on anyway" if prompted about Webhooks (that's what YouLi does for you!)
   6. Confirm it is now ON!
2. YOULI: You MUST require billing address on Stripe payments
3. TEST: Create a test trip in YouLi with an amount due larger than 100

1. 1. Add a test person as REGISTERED
   2. Click to their INVOICE and choose "Credit Card" and PAY NOW
   3. Confirm the payment option you have enabled appears in the popup
      1. Watch this video to see how to confirm it's working:
         

 

Basic Off-boarding (turn it off)

Follow the directions above to turn it on, and expand the payment to find the [TURN OFF] button

Click that and follow any instructions.

✅ It will be OFF when the button that shows is [TURN ON]

This will remove the option from your Trip Page

Troubleshooting

So if you don't see it in the payment popup, it's probably because of one or a few of these reasons:

1. YOULI+STRIPE: You don't have Stripe connected to YouLi - connect Stripe
2. STRIPE: You need to enable the payment method on your Stripe Dashboard
3. STRIPE: You haven't verified required info after enabling the option - go to your dashboard to see what is required.
4. YOULI: You MUST require billing address on payment
5. YOULI TRIP: The payment amount is over the maximum or under the minimum
   • See links above for details on different methods which includes their min and max amounts
6. TRAVELER: The device you are on does not support it (usually for wallets like Google Pay, Alipay)
7. TRAVELER: The country they are in doesn't support the payment method
   
   1. Check Stripe to see which methods are supported in your country
      
      
8. YOULI TRIP: The currency you're charging in does not support the method you want to use
   1. Check Stripe to see which currencies are supported in your country
9. Wait - sometimes new methods take time to flow through to YouLi, if you have confirmed everything above, then check back tomorrow
