This guide covers the MoveRight settings side of connecting your payment gateway. For the full setup walkthrough including account creation, see Stripe and Square Payment Setup.
What this covers
Payment gateway settings in MoveRight — connecting, testing, and configuring fee handling.
Who uses this
Owners — only owners can access payment settings.
Connecting your gateway
Stripe
- Go to Settings → Payments → Stripe
- Click Connect with Stripe
- Log in to your Stripe account and authorize MoveRight
- You’re redirected back to MoveRight with a “Connected” status
Square
- Go to Settings → Payments → Square
- Click Connect with Square
- Log in to your Square account and authorize MoveRight
- You’re redirected back with a “Connected” status
You can only have one active gateway at a time. Switching disconnects the current one.
Configuration options
| Setting | Options | What to choose |
|---|---|---|
| Default payment method | Card, ACH, Both | Card (most common) |
| Automatic receipts | On/Off | On (customers expect confirmation) |
| Payment link expiration | 7, 14, 30 days, never | 14 days (creates urgency) |
| Failed payment retries | On/Off, retry count | On, 2 retries (then manual follow-up) |
Fee pass-through
By default, your company absorbs the processing fee (2.9% + $0.30 for Stripe). You can optionally pass the fee to the customer as a line item:
- Go to Settings → Payments → Fee Handling
- Toggle “Add processing fee to invoice” to On
- The fee appears as a separate line item on every invoice
Check your local laws before enabling this. Credit card surcharging is prohibited or regulated in some states (Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and others). When in doubt, consult your attorney.
Testing
After connecting your gateway, always test with a real transaction:
- Create a $1 test invoice to yourself
- Pay it with your card
- Verify the payment appears in MoveRight
- Verify the payment appears in your Stripe/Square dashboard
- Refund the test transaction
Disconnecting
If you need to switch gateways or disconnect:
- Go to Settings → Payments → [Stripe/Square]
- Click Disconnect
- Existing payments already processed through the gateway are unaffected — they stay in your records
Common questions
What if my connection keeps failing? Check that your Stripe/Square account is fully verified (not in “restricted” status). Also check that your browser isn’t blocking pop-ups — the OAuth flow uses a pop-up window.
Can I change gateways mid-month? Yes, but payments already processed through the old gateway still settle in that gateway’s account. Your new gateway only processes new payments from the switch date forward.
