Nemtly Booking uses Stripe to handle payments. Stripe is a trusted payment platform used by millions of businesses worldwide. You’ll need a free Stripe account to start accepting payments.
Step 1: Create a Stripe account
If you don’t have one yet, sign up at stripe.com. It’s free and only takes a few minutes. You’ll need to verify your identity and add your bank account before Stripe can pay you out.
Step 2: Get your API keys
- Log in to your Stripe Dashboard
- Click Developers in the top-right menu
- Click API keys
- You’ll see two keys: a Publishable key and a Secret key
Leave this tab open — you’ll need to copy these into your WordPress site.
Step 3: Connect Stripe to your site
- In your WordPress admin, go to Nemtly Booking > Settings
- Click the Payments tab
- Paste your Publishable key and Secret key into the matching fields
- Click Save Changes
Step 4: Test a payment
Before going live, it’s worth doing a quick test to make sure everything works.
- In your Stripe Dashboard, make sure you’re in Test mode (there’s a toggle in the top bar)
- Copy your test keys and paste them into Nemtly Booking > Settings > Payments
- Go to your booking page and book a test event using the card number
4242 4242 4242 4242, any future expiry date, and any 3-digit security code - Check that the booking appears in Nemtly Booking > Bookings
Once everything looks good, switch back to your live keys in Stripe and update them in Settings.
Going live
When you’re ready to accept real payments, go back to your Stripe Dashboard, switch to Live mode, copy your live API keys, and paste them into Nemtly Booking > Settings > Payments. That’s it — your site is ready to take bookings and payments.
