Merchant Settings
Association Merchants are a standard feature of the platform and are used for association-level payment scenarios.
A Club Merchant is a merchant profile used at the club level and is available only with the COMET Play extension enabled. Club Managers/Referents can define their club's Merchant Settings and configure payment options to collect payments electronically.
Configuring both association and club merchants follows the same workflow. Below is an example showing the setup of a Club Merchant.
Creating a Merchant
Step 1: Open Merchant Settings
In the main navigation menu, go to Payments.
Select Merchant Settings.
The Merchant Settings page will open.
If no Club Merchant exists yet, an empty state will be shown with the Create merchant profile button.
Step 2: Create a Merchant Profile
Click Create merchant profile.
The Merchant profile form will be displayed.
Fill in the following fields:
Merchant name - Enter the official club name.
Email - Enter the email address used for order-related communication.
Description - Add a short description of the merchant profile.

You can also enable the switch to Show taxes while in Edit mode, including adding additional notes in the dedicated textbox.
Payment Options
After creating the merchant profile, open the Payment Options tab.
The Payment Options menu displays the list of configured payment options for your tenant. In most scenarios, these options are:
Manual Payment - Customers can create orders for your items without making an online payment. In this scenario, admins will need to enter/confirm the payment manually.
Payment Gateway (e.g., QuickPay) - Customers will be redirected to an online payment gateway
Stripe - Customers conduct online payments in the app without being redirected
