Integrate Stripe

Learn how to integrate Stripe to collect payments online instantly right from creating a Stripe account to configuring settings with Clava

Updated over 8 months ago

With Clava Payments you can collect online card payments from clients directly into your Clava account. Client payments are reconciled automatically so you don't need to check your bank for payments.

What can clients make online payments for?

The simple answer is everything:

  • Purchasing session packages.

  • Purchasing class passes and/or enrolling onto individual classes.

  • Subscribing to memberships.

Why is Clava Payments better than bank transfers?

Clients making payments directly into your bank is fine, but it does have a few drawbacks:

  1. You have to share your bank details with many people.

  2. You need to check your bank regularly and manually reconcile payments to your services, which takes time.

  3. Bank transfers are not very convenient for your clients, especially those who might want to spread payment or use a credit card.

How are things different with Clava Payments?

  1. Clients can purchase new session packs and class passes within your client portal without you needing to lift a finger.

  2. After making a purchase, clients can get started immediately, requesting sessions or enrolling onto classes.

  3. When you sell a bespoke session pack, each client's confirmation will include a payment link so they can make a pack payment immediately (or at a time convenient to them).

  4. You can send clients an invitation to purchase a class pass. This puts them only one click away from making a purchase.

  5. You can offer a membership scheme to your clients, billing them on a regular basis (weekly, monthly, or yearly) for your services.

  6. Every client payment will appear inside your Clava account automatically. No more checking your bank and logging payments manually.

How do I get started?

Stripe is the service Clava uses to process card payments on your behalf. They are a market leading global business so you're in safe hands. When you create your Stripe account, it will become linked to your Clava account.

If you have a Stripe account already, you can simply connect your account and payments will be credited directly.

To connect your payment gateway:

  1. From your admin Dashboard, click Settings, then Go to Payments

  2. On the Payments page, Click on "Connect Stripe" and sign-in (if you already have a Stripe account) with your Email and Password. Once you are done, you will be automatically redirected to your Clava account.

  3. If you do not have a Stripe account, fill out the form and get started.

  4. If you have any questions related to the transaction fees or trouble connecting the account. Please contact us or us chat for support. ​
