Open Getting paid. Choose Stripe, PayPal, Square, or No checkout at all, then select Save and continue. The saved card says Selected.
Studio ($29/month) or Studio Plus ($49/month) is required for payment workflows and private prices collectors can accept. On Free, Showcase and the trial, the relevant controls remain visible but locked. Click a locked control to see what Studio adds and Upgrade, or choose See plans to review your options. Saved settings and records are preserved.
When you choose a different card, account controls pause until you save the choice. Saving a different company switches checkout off. Past sales, refunds and their provider references stay unchanged.
Choose your payment company
Choose Stripe, PayPal, or Square, then select Save and continue. The saved card says Selected. This saves your choice; it does not connect an account or switch on checkout.
Connect your own account
You need an account with the company you choose. Read the permission explanation, tick the agreement, and select Connect Stripe, Connect PayPal, or Connect Square when that button is available. You go to the payment company’s secure site to sign in, choose your account, and approve Farbase’s access. Your password stays there. You do not copy secret keys or set up notifications yourself.
Return to Getting paid and check the saved Account name and Account reference. These identify the account for this studio. A previous connection can already be shown; selecting a card does not create one. If the page says the account was set up earlier, use Confirm account with Stripe or Confirm account with Square to sign in and approve access without first disconnecting. Past sales stay saved. If the account is wrong, disconnect it and connect the correct one. Cancelling at the provider leaves checkout off.
Turn on checkout
A connected account does not automatically accept payments. Complete the account and sales-tax requirements shown on the page. Confirm that the displayed payment account is the one that should receive your money, turn on Collectors can buy directly from my website, and select Save payment preferences. Check that the page says Checkout is switched on. If it is locked or says checkout is off, customers cannot pay yet.
Check or disconnect an account
Use Check connection again to ask the payment company for its current status. To remove the account, select Disconnect, read the confirmation, then choose Disconnect account. Go back cancels without changing it. Disconnect stops checkout first; the page tells you if removing access at the payment company is still pending. For PayPal, follow the account-permission removal instructions when shown.
