Setka includes checkout as part of the e-commerce platform. You do not need to install a payment app, connect checkout to a separate order system, or maintain a custom payment integration. Connect your Stripe account once, finish the commercial settings, and publish the store.

1. Connect your Stripe account

Open Settings → Payments in Setka and start the Stripe connection. Sign in to the Stripe account owned by the selling business, or create one if the business does not have an account yet. Complete any business and bank details Stripe requests, then return to Setka and confirm that the account is connected.

Stripe manages account verification, payouts, and the eligibility of individual payment methods. Keep the account in the business’s control and complete any outstanding requests in the Stripe Dashboard before opening the store to customers.

2. Choose the store currency in Setka

Each Setka store uses one currency. Choose the currency in Setka before publishing, then check that product prices, delivery charges, discounts, and checkout totals all use that currency.

The store currency is the currency customers see and pay in. Payouts are configured in Stripe, so review payout currency and bank details there when that matters to the business.

3. Enable payment methods in Stripe

Choose accepted payment methods in the connected Stripe account. Setka uses that account for payment processing; you do not configure the same methods again in a separate checkout integration.

The methods Stripe makes available can depend on the business country, customer location, store currency, and account status. Enable the methods that fit the store and check Stripe’s current payment-method support when deciding what to offer. Advertise only methods enabled for the connected account.

4. Publish the store

Once Stripe is connected, the store currency is set, and the intended methods are enabled, publish the store. The checkout becomes part of the live shopping path under the same storefront and order system.

There is no separate payment-to-order integration for the merchant to assemble. Setka owns the connection between its checkout and order management.

What happens after a successful payment

When a customer completes payment successfully, Setka automatically:

  • creates a paid order in Setka;
  • updates inventory for the purchased products;
  • sends the customer an order confirmation; and
  • notifies the merchant about the new order.

The paid Setka order is authoritative for fulfillment; the merchant does not need to reconcile every successful order against Stripe. The first-order guide covers picking, packing, shipping, tracking, and customer communication.

Full and partial refunds

Setka lets the merchant issue either a full or partial refund from an order. Choose the amount based on the actual customer case and the store’s returns and cancellation policy. A partial refund is useful when only one item, delivery charge, or part of an order needs to be returned.

Keep an internal record of the reason and customer communication so the team can understand what happened later. Whether to refund is the merchant’s decision; Setka handles the payment action.

Before you publish

Confirm five things:

  • The correct business Stripe account is connected in Settings → Payments.
  • The store uses the intended currency.
  • The payment methods you want to offer are enabled in Stripe.
  • Product prices, discounts, delivery charges, and checkout totals use the same currency.
  • The store is ready to publish with accurate products, delivery settings, policies, and contact details.

Before you launch

Setka has no payment test mode yet, so test with a real order. After publishing, place an order from your own store on your phone, refund it from the Setka order, and check that the confirmation and the merchant notification arrived. Then launch: start sending customers to the store. One real order is a complete test because checkout, payment, inventory, orders, and refunds run in one platform.

Setka handles checkout, paid orders, inventory updates, confirmations, notifications, and merchant-initiated refunds as one system. For what to do once real orders arrive, read what happens after your first order.
