Setup Stripe
Your COMET Sales Module or COMET Play Store can be integrated with Stripe in a quick and easy setup process that allows you to start trading straight away. Stripes payment interface is the gateway solution that accepts multiple currencies through all major credit and debit cards.
In order to integrate Stripe payments with COMET or COMET Play you need several keys obtained from the Stripe Merchant dashboard.
