Payment Settings

BridalOp uses a BYOG (Bring Your Own Gateway) model — you're never locked into a single payment processor. Connect Stripe or Square and choose which one handles your in-store card payments.

Go to Settings > Payments to manage your gateways.

Supported Gateways

Stripe

• Accept cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay
• Used for in-store payments (Stripe Terminal) and online payments (deposits, gift card purchases)
• Click Connect with Stripe to link your Stripe account via Stripe Connect

Stripe powers:

• POS card payments (via Stripe Terminal reader)
• Online appointment deposits
• Online gift card purchases
• Saved card charges (layaway auto-payments)

Square

• Accept cards via Square Terminal
• Click Connect with Square to link your Square account

After connecting Square, you must select your Square Location from the dropdown that appears. Square requires a location to be set before terminal payments will work. If you skip this step, card payments at the POS will fail.

Square powers:

• POS card payments (via Square Terminal reader)
• Online gift card purchases
• Saved card charges

Default POS Gateway

Once you've connected your gateway, you need to select it as the default for card payments at the POS terminal.

Select either Stripe or Square and click Save Gateway.

Important

Connecting a gateway doesn't automatically make it your POS default. After connecting, make sure you also select it as your Default POS Gateway and click Save Gateway — otherwise your POS card payments may fail.

Other Payment Methods

Regardless of which gateway you choose, the POS also supports:

• Cash — manual cash payments
• Gift Cards — redeem BridalOp gift card balances
• Saved Cards — charge a customer's card on file

These methods don't require a gateway connection.
