Omeda with Stripe Connect Integration Overview

Omeda’s integration with Stripe Connect provides a modern payment gateway that supports all major credit cards and digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay. You can manage everything directly from your Omeda account, including:

Onboarding and applying for a payment gateway
Accessing payment gateway reporting tools
Managing and responding to disputes

Most users can be onboarded and start accepting payments within minutes of completing the application. A dashboard tool is also available for those who prefer a Stripe-hosted dashboard. If you currently use Stripe with our HostedPCI option, you'll need to onboard to Stripe Connect, but we can assist in transferring your PAN data. Please reach out to our support team for information on how to get started with Omeda’s Stripe payment integrations offering.

Customers interested in getting start with our Omeda/Stripe Connect integration can reach out to their account manager or to sales@omeda.com for more information. Once enabled for an customer, admin users on that account can enable access for team members through the "Manage Users" settings. Permissions can be adjusted at varying levels, allowing for controlled access to the feature based on user roles. This ensures that only authorized personnel can utilize the payment processing tool while maintaining oversight and security, while also preventing a single point of failure in case the admin leaves the organization.

Omeda with Stripe Connect FAQs

title	Omeda with Stripe Connect FAQs

How much does Stripe cost? How do I get started?
1. Omeda's Stripe Connect gateway and payment processing solution offers competitive rates tailored to your specific business model. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, we personalize our pricing to meet your unique needs, ensuring you receive the best value and support for your business. To get started, please reach out to your Omeda Account Manager or our sales team at sales@omeda.com.
Do I need to create a new gateway if I already have a separate Stripe account?
1. Yes, if you're currently using Stripe as a standalone account or through a different Connect account, you'll still need to apply for a new account. We offer various migration options, but Stripe-to-Stripe migrations are particularly efficient. Unlike third-party migrations, moving between Stripe accounts allows for a more streamlined process. Stripe provides built-in tools to quickly transfer account data, simplifying the transition. For more information on Stripe's self-serve migration process, please reach out to your CSM or see: https://docs.stripe.com/get-started/data-migrations/pan-copy-self-serve
Can I clone my Gateways if I have different entities?
1. You can set up a gateway to work across different products or for a specific product. If you don't have a business need to split your accounts, we recommend setting up one gateway account to cover all products and brands. However, if you need multiple gateway accounts for different products or brands, you'll need to complete an application for each separate account. This requirement stems from federal banking regulations - there there no additional fees for setting up multiple gateway accounts. If setting up multiple gateways, please let our support team know so we can make sure each is probably connected on our end.
Can I return to my account setup page later if I don't have all the information I need?
1. Yes, you can exit an application at any time using the "return to Omeda" link or by closing the tab. To resume your application later, simply click the kebab menu (three vertical dots) next to the gateway you're editing and select "Continue." This menu also allows you to delete an in-progress application and start over if needed.
How long does it take for an application to be accepted after it's submitted?
1. We've configured the onboarding application to require all necessary information before submission, ensuring a quick turnaround. Once you've completed and submitted your application, most gateways should be immediately active and ready for payment configuration. Once active, our team will enable it on the backend for you and then you’ll be able to start using the gateway as a live payment processing tool on Form Builder forms and in Audience Search. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to your Customer Success Manager (CSM).
Do customers need to be concerned with balance requirements?
1. No. Omeda uses Stripe's Connect Account model, acting as the platform account. We handle responsibilities typically managed by stand-alone accounts, such as balance requirements. For instance, if a dispute arises, our platform account covers any dispute fees while it's in progress, later recovering these fees from your account when applicable. You won't need to maintain a reserve to cover unexpected fees. If you have further questions or specific needs here, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Does my Submission autosave? Will my form time out?
1. Once you've initiated an application, it shouldn't expire. If you encounter any issues accessing your application later, you can either delete it and start a new one or contact our support team for assistance. We'll be happy to investigate any problems you may face.
Who has access to see the Stripe information?
1. On the Manage User page, users with permissions can grant applicable permissions to access and edit various areas of the Payment Gateways page. Users with View and Edit permissions for gateway applications will be able to see the Payment Gateways page.
How do I know if I'm successfully using Stripe in Audience Search?
1. When setting up an order for a product or brand using Stripe, users will see a dynamic dropdown with card fields and a "Stripe Payment" label upon selecting the payment type. Stripe Payment fields include three input areas, while our HCPI integration only has two. After you have entered the payment information and saved the customer update, you will receive a payment success notification, as you currently do when completing payments via Audience Search.
How can I test Stripe?
1. You can test Stripe in Omeda's staging environment. We've set up Stripe's test mode in our staging environment for this purpose.
Why can't I see Apple Pay & Google Pay on my form? When do these show up?
1. If you haven't already, please contact your customer service representative to register your form domains. Apple Pay and Google Pay require domain registration before these payment methods can be used on a website. Omeda can register your Dragonforms domains for you if you provide the URL. Once your domains are registered, ensure you're viewing the form on a compatible device for each payment method. Apple Pay is typically visible on most iPhones, iPads, or Macs using Safari, with some newer Apple devices displaying it on third-party browsers as well. Google Pay is available to users with a Google Pay account who are logged into their Google Account, and it's visible on all major browsers across desktop and Android devices.
How can I customize how the pay options look on my form?
1. Currently, we've implemented Stripe payment options to align with existing form flows, featuring a basic appearance. One of our upcoming enhancements will introduce customizable tools, allowing users to control the presentation and aesthetics of payment fields and buttons.
Does Stripe accept all credit cards?
1. Stripe accepts all major US credit cards and many international cards. If you have specific payment needs, please contact our customer service team to discuss available options. Our integration allows us to quickly implement most new payment options as needed or desired by customers.
How can I find out about my upcoming payouts?
1. You can view your upcoming payouts via the "Manage Account" link on your Payment Gateway page, which will take you to your Express Connect Dashboard. There, you'll find balance reports, basic trend tracking, and payout information. You can also see individual payments and any disputes that need attention. In the near future, we'll release our embedded disputes and payments tooling, allowing you to trigger payouts and respond to disputes directly in-app.
Can I change my payout frequency?
1. By default payouts are set to payout daily, but if you prefer we can work with you to adjust your accounts payout frequency.
Can I get my payout instantly?
1. Payouts occur daily by default, but it may take a few days for the funds to settle in your bank account. If you need immediate access to funds or simply prefer not to wait, you can initiate an instant payout for a small fee. This option makes the funds available in your bank account instantly, bypassing the traditional settlement period.
How can a client set security settings for IP addresses, velocity filters etc?
1. As Omeda operates as the platform account, we have comprehensive controls to address security concerns. We also are utilizing Stripe's Radar fraud protection tools to prevent spam submissions and suspected fraud. If a specific account requires additional security measures, please contact our customer service team. We can configure custom rules for individual accounts as needed.
Will a client have someone at stripe they can talk to?
1. Omeda acts as the platform account, so our support team will be able to handle most inquiries and issues. If customers need to contact Stripe directly, they can use the support link in their Express Dashboard. However, this is mainly for dashboard-related issues or billing questions. Since our accounts don't use Stripe Billing/Invoicing (billing and invoicing is managed in Omeda), customers shouldn't need to contact Stripe about tax questions.
How long does migration take? What does the process look like?
1. Migration timelines vary based on the type of migration. Internal migrations from Stripe to Stripe typically have a quicker turnaround than external migrations from third-party gateway providers to Stripe. A significant factor is the time it takes for a third party to provide the necessary information to initiate the migration. As a Stripe partner, once we receive the data, Stripe estimates the migration will take no longer than 10 days. The Stripe and Omeda teams will work with customers to ensure the migration is set up in a way that prevents any missed auto-renewals.
How do I handle disputes?
1. You can track disputes requiring attention within your Express Dashboard. We are currently implementing a dispute management workflow in the Omeda app, which will allow you to respond to and manage ongoing disputes. This feature is expected to be available in our next release on October 30, 2024.
What kind of reports will I have access to?
- In addition to your Omeda reporting tools, your gateway's Express Dashboard will include:
- Earnings Overview: View earnings, transaction details, fees, and payout schedules to track performance and understand cash flow.
- Payout Management: Access insights into upcoming payouts, including estimated amounts and timing, and manage bank account details for smooth fund transfers.
- Transaction History: Review detailed transaction records, including individual payments, refunds, and disputes for better record-keeping and financial reporting.
- Going forward, we will be able to build more custom payment reports with the Stripe APIs and combine those with information in Omeda for more detailed and customized payments reporting tools.
Can I use stripe and another payment gateway at the same time?
1. It depends on your setup, but if needed, yes, you can have Stripe configured for one product and a different gateway for another. However, you can't have two gateways applied to the same product or brand—in that case, it will default to the gateway that was set up first. For migrations where we need to keep an existing gateway active, we can maintain the old gateway for auto-renewals during the migration process. This ensures a smooth transition without any interruptions.

Onboarding and Gateway Setup

Step 1: Access Self-Service Menu

Click on your name in the upper right corner.
Select Manage Databases from the dropdown menu to access the Self-Service screen.

You will use this to re-access the application if need be and to access the gateway reporting. dashboard initially and invite other users.
- Prepare to provide information about your business (e.g., business type, ownership structure, etc..) and personal information for the individual completing the application.
- Only the person signing the application can be listed as the representative, this is a legal requirement for verification of identity.

Step 4: Save and/or Submit Application

You can save and exit the application at any time if you need to return later. The application will save information that has been entered every time you click Continue after completing a section of the application. Clicking the “Return to Omeda” button will exit the application and take you back to the Omeda Manage Databases screen.
Once you fill out the application, click Submit. Most applications are approved quickly, but additional information may be requested. If additional information is needed, Omeda and Stripe will both communicate this to you via email or in-app notifications and you will be able to go in and add the missing/requested information.

If additional information is needed, click Continue to re-enter and update your details and finish filling out your application.
If you wish to start over, you can delete your in-progress application by clicking Delete.

Step 6: Confirm Gateway Activation

After submission and approval, your Payment Gateways page will display the newly created gateway and its status.
An in-progress status is listed for accounts that have not submitted an in-progress application. An active status indicates that the gateway has been approved and is ready for use. You will see your account ID, gateway name, and additional management options. Most customers should see their status update almost instantly upon submission of a completed application.
- If you wish to remove an active gateway, please reach out to our customer service team.

Accessing the Stripe Connect Reporting Dashboard

Users utilizing our Stripe Connect Gateway option have access to a reporting dashboard in addition to the existing reporting tools within our app.

Initial Setup

Passcode: When first creating your gateway, a passcode was set up for accessing your dashboard. Please make sure to note this passcode for future reference. If you cannot remember this passcode, please use the “Forgot Passcode” link for assistance.
User Management: After logging into the Express Dashboard, users can create additional profiles and grant dashboard access to team members. This practice is highly recommended to ensure continuous access in cases of staff changes or forgotten passcodes. This is further outlined below in the “Adding Additional Users” section.

How to Access the Express Dashboard

Navigate to the Payment Gateways page.
Click the kebab menu (three vertical dots) on the right-hand side for the gateway.
Select the Manage Account button to access the dashboard for your Stripe account.

Adding Additional Users

Click on the profile icon in the top right corner.

Select the option to Edit the Invite/Remove Team Members section to add additional users to your gateway dashboard.

Add email/phone and name for the team member, then trigger the email invite for them to set up their own login.
1. Please note, anyone that has access to the dashboard can edit or remove account details.

Account Settings

In the settings area, users can update essential account information, including:

Bank account details
Business information
Signer / Business representative Information
Other relevant account settings

In the settings, customers can also make any required updates if Stripe requests more information from them in order to resume payouts. We have set onboarding up to collect all necessary information, but on rare occasions Stripe might require some additional information to fully validate an account. In these instances, customers will still be able to take payments via Stripe, but the payouts to their bank account will be paused until they provide the outstanding information. Customers will be notified on their dashboard and via email of any outstanding requirements:

Dashboard Features

Using Stripe Payment Element in Form Builder

With the Stripe Connect integration, you can add a direct Stripe checkout option in your Form Builder. Products linked to a Stripe Connect gateway can utilize the new Stripe Payment option, allowing customers to pay via credit card or digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Adding Payment Options

Add the Stripe Payment Element field in your form - for instructions on using form builder, please see the Form Builder Overview help document.
1. The new element can be found in the left hand accordion under Paid → Payment Fields → Stripe Payment
2. Drag this element on the form where you want the payment fields to appear
3. Make sure to include a payment rate on the form as well
Customers will automatically see options for Apple Pay and Google Pay when available (see below for more details).

Using Apple Pay and Google Pay

Apple Pay is available on most modern Apple devices. Customers using Mac with Safari will see this option, as will iPhone and iPad users with iOS 16 or later. For more details, please visit: Apple Pay Support.
Google Pay functions on most Android devices and major browsers. However, it's not supported on some versions of Firefox mobile. Users must be logged into their Google Account and have Google Pay set up to see this option.

Apple Pay and Google Pay require domain registration for webforms. For Omeda forms, simply provide the URLs of the pages you want to enable these options, and we will handle the registration and required files for you. If you are migrating from an existing setup, let us know which URLs to pre-register.

Considerations

Testing Forms with Stripe
- Testing a form in a Staging environment: Users can use a dummy credit card when testing both Test and Live forms for the Credit Card fields. Please use: 4242424242424242. Users will have to use real credit cards to test Apple Pay and Google Pay. No charges will be applied to the credit card.
- Testing a form in Production: Users will have to use a real credit card number when testing both Test and Live forms for the Credit Card fields, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. No charges will be applied when filling out a Test form.
- Stripe payment will only appear on the form if the form is built over a product that is linked to a Stripe Connect gateway.
  - If you add Stripe Payment to a form that is built over a product that is not setup for Stripe, expect to see the follow error on your form:

Stripe in Audience Search and Customer View

Customers with a Stripe Connect gateway will see the card fields dynamically update to the new Stripe fields when using Audience Search in Paid Mode or Customer View, making off-session transactions through Stripe seamless. For more information about using Audience Search, please see the Audience Search help article. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out to our support team.

Apple Pay and Google Pay options are not available for purchases configured through the Audience Search paid entry mode. Digital wallet options like Apple Pay and Google Pay require the user to authorize the payment at point of service, or if there is a change in term. Apple Pay and Google Pay will work for renewals set up via an online form, they just cannot be used to create new subscriptions or change the payment amount for an existing subscription without the users approval. This is not an Omeda limitation, but rather a security feature implemented by Apple and Google for their digital wallet users.
