How to sign up for your Paytia 14-day free trial as a Stripe payment user

Paytia allows Stripe users to securely take card payments during telephone calls while keeping sensitive card details away from business users and systems.

This guide explains how to create your Paytia account, connect Stripe, configure your telephone service and activate your 14-day free trial.

Step 1: Create your Paytia account

Go to the Paytia sign-up page and complete the registration form.

Enter:

  • First name

  • Last name

  • Company name

  • Email address

  • Confirm your email address

  • A secure password

You will also need to confirm that you agree to Paytia's:

Step 2: Verify your email address

Paytia will send a verification email to the address you entered during registration.

Once your email address has been verified, you can continue with the Paytia setup process.

Step 3: Start the Paytia setup process

After signing in, Paytia will guide you through the main setup stages.

You will need to:

  1. Connect your Stripe account

  2. Configure your telephony

  3. Register your payment card for Paytia billing

Click Get Started! to begin.


Step 4: Connect Paytia to Stripe

Paytia uses your Stripe account to process payments.

You can either connect an existing Stripe account or create a new Stripe account during setup.

If you already have a Stripe account

Click Next to begin the Stripe connection process.

Sign in using the email address associated with your Stripe administrator account.


If Stripe requests additional authentication, complete the two-factor authentication process.

This may involve entering a verification code sent to your registered telephone number.


Stripe will then display the accounts available to you.

Select the Stripe account or sub-account that you want Paytia to use.

Click Connect to authorise the connection between Paytia and your selected Stripe account.

If you do not already have a Stripe account

Click Next and follow the Stripe account creation process.


Stripe will guide you through the information required to create and verify your account.

This may include:

  • Your email address

  • A Stripe password

  • Business information

  • Bank account details

  • Company ownership or shareholding information

  • Director details

  • Any additional information required by Stripe for verification

Complete the Stripe verification process before continuing.

Step 5: Choose your currency and configure your telephone service

Once Stripe has been connected, Paytia will guide you through your telephone payment setup.

Choose your payment currency

Select the currency you want to use when processing payments through Paytia and Stripe.


Choose your Paytia telephone number

Search for an available Paytia telephone number using a city name or area code.


Select the number you would like to use.



Tell Paytia where to route your calls

Enter the telephone number where you want Paytia to send incoming customer calls.

This could be your:

  • Existing business telephone number

  • Office telephone system

  • Contact centre

  • Mobile telephone

  • Other suitable business destination


Confirm the configuration so Paytia can route calls received on your Paytia number to your chosen destination.


Want to keep using your existing business telephone number?

You do not necessarily have to advertise a new Paytia telephone number to your customers.

Step 6: Review your subscription and add your billing details

Before completing setup, review the Paytia subscription package you have selected.


Choose your preferred billing option:

  • Monthly

  • Annual

The annual option includes the discount displayed during the sign-up process.


Enter the payment card that you want Paytia to use for your subscription billing.


Then:

  1. Review your order and billing details.

  2. Tick the authorisation box for Paytia billing.

  3. Click Submit.

Your payment card details are used for your Paytia subscription. They are separate from the Stripe account you have connected for processing your customers' payments.

Step 7: Start using your 14-day free trial

Once setup has been completed successfully, your Paytia 14-day free trial will be active.


You can now start using Paytia to:

  • Receive calls through your configured Paytia telephone service

  • Securely capture customer card details

  • Process payments through your connected Stripe account

  • Keep payment card information away from the person taking the payment

Your Paytia service is now ready to use.
