We're almost at the finish line! In this article, we'll cover boarding Payment Gateways and, optionally, configuring payment routing.

Without further ado, let's begin!

To begin, let's get logged into your Sticky.io account. Afterwards, navigate to Settings > Providers.
​

From the Providers page, click Actions > Add New Provider Profile.

This will open a new pop-up with the first option being to specify the Provider Type. With over 200+ plug and play integrations, Sticky.io categorizes the integrations by the function it's closest assosiated to.

In this case, we're talking about Payment Gateways, towards the bottom of the dropdown menu.

This next part is unique depending on the Payment Gateway you're attempting to integrate. From Stripe to Authorize.net or Network Merchant Inc (NMI).

Once the provider profile is successfully added - the remainder of the setup is exactly the same.

In this article, let's cover integrating Stripe. For other payment gateways, search for them via our Help Desk here.

Let's break down each of the fields for boarding a Stripe Payment Gateway.

Next is Merchant Account Details. Though only two required fields here are:

There are other fields such as Processor & Verticle, thuogh these are solely for Sticky's Reporting Suite and has no impact on transactions.

And rounding out Stripe, Limits & Fees. Much like Merchant Account Details, most of the fields here are not required and are solely for Sticky's Reporting Suite.

To the point, the only required field here is Global Monthly Cap. Some gateways, including Stripe, do not have a cap. Leaving it at $0.00 equates to an unlimited monthly cap.

Other fields, such as Processing Rate, help you keep track of your profit and loss margins via Sticky's Reporting Suite. Leaving these fields default has no impact on transactions.

Once you're satisfied with your edits, click Save.

After saving the Stripe Provider Profile, you'll be redirected to Stripe to authorize the connection request to Sticky.io.
​
Simply log in to your account, confirm the authorization, and you're set!

The heart of Sticky.io is your campaigns. Everything from Payment Gateways to Products and Billing Models lives in your campaign.

Simply put, adding a payment gateway or other provider to your Sticky.io account does nothing. Everything needs to be associated back with its respective campaign.

To access your campaign, navigate to Products > Campaigns.

Afterwards, click your Sticky Checkout Campaign. Once loaded, scroll down to Gateway Configuration > Your Gateway (Stripe or otherwise).

After selecting your Gateway click Save on the right nav-menu.

Campaigns are the backbone of your business on Sticky.io. Campaigns control what payment types you accept, if you're processing with one or multiple gateways, providers such as fulfillemtn and fraud tools, and so much more.

If you're leveraging multiple Payment Gateways, Payment Routing enables you to use all of them at the same time.

As we explored earlier, simply adding a gateway to Sticky.io doesn't mean it'll automatically begin accepting transactions. The same is true for Payment Routing.

To access Payment Routing, navigate to Payments > Payment Routing.

Once loaded, click Actions > Add Payment Routing Profile. Specify the currency you want to accept transactions in and Select.

The first order of business is naming your router. This can always be revised, and you'll generally only have 1 router to start, so the name isn't of much relevance. The same is true for the Description.

After providing both a name and description, we're met with 9 Yes/No options and 2 drop down menus to fully customize our payment router.

But before we dive into those settings, let's first add our gateways to the router and save it. Your Payment Gateways are accessible at the bottom of this UI, as seen below.

As you Add Gateway you can set an additional cap that is equal to or is lower than the Global Monthly Cap. This is a great way to introduce a new MID to your router and slowly increase the cap to maintain gateway health.

Once you've added the gateways you want in your Payment Router, click Create Payment Routing Profile.

After saving your Payment Router, the latter UI changes allowing us to visualize each of the Yes/No options better.

Seguing back towards the top, let's break down each of the Yes/No options.

And that's it! Once you're satisfied with your settings, click Save.

If you'll recall from earlier articles, providers in and of themselves don't do anything on Sticky until assigned to a campaign.

A campaign contains your providers, products, offers, preferred payment methods, and a whole host of settings paramount for running an efficient checkout.

Now that your Payment Router is saved, let's navigate to Products > Campaigns.

Once loaded, open your Sticky Checkout campaign - under Configurations, enable Payment Routing. Under Payment Routing Configuration, choose your Payment Router.

Now that we've covered boarding your Payment Gateways and, optionally, configuring Payment Routing. Visit the last article in the guide to finish your setup.
