Before you can begin selling tickets, you must connect Sparxo to a payment processor. Sparxo uses Stripe because of its security, convenience to our customers and seamless integration.
To create a Stripe account you will need to gather the following pieces of information:
| Legal Name | The legal name of your business. |
| EIN / Tax ID | This is optional if you are creating an account as an individual. It is required if you are signing up for a Corporation, Partnership, Non-profit, or LLC. |
| Business Address | The address your business is registered to. |
| Website | Your company website address. |
| Legal Name | Your legal name, whether you are representing yourself or a company. |
| Date of Birth | Your date of birth, whether you are representing yourself or a company. |
| Last 4 Digits of SSN | To verify your identity, Stripe will ask for the last four digits of your social security number. |
| Bank Routing Number | Your bank’s routing number. |
| Bank Account Number | Your bank account must be a checking account. This is where the money from each ticket purchase will be sent. |
| Email Address | This email address will be used to log into the Stripe account. |
| Password | For security, use a unique password. |
To connect Stripe to Sparxo you can follow the Welcome Guide:
- On the second page of the Welcome Guide there are two options. If you don’t have a Stripe account, no problem. Click “create a new stripe account”. This will take you to the Stripe sign up process.
- On the Stripe sign up page, enter your information and click “Authorize access to this account.”
- If the authorization is successful, you will be automatically brought back to Sparxo and you will see the status message: “Currently connected to stripe account:”
Congratulations! You have now linked Stripe and Sparxo and are ready to start collecting money when selling tickets or accepting donations. For more information about Stripe visit their support page: https://support.stripe.com/
