Payment Gateways

Payment Gateways

When you first open the Payment Gateways tab in Tickera, you’ll notice that all payment gateways are inactive by default - except for the Offline Payments and Free Payment Gateway

Free Payment Gateway gateway cannot be deactivated because it serves as a fallback option. It is being used automatically only when the total order amount equals zero, allowing customers to complete checkout for free tickets or complimentary registrations. For any other order total, Tickera will use whichever payment gateway(s) you have activated and configured here.

Activating a payment gateway

To enable a specific payment gateway, simply click its name in the list. Once activated, a new section will appear below, displaying all available configuration fields for that gateway.

Each gateway has its own set of options and may require specific credentials - such as API keys, merchant IDs, or secret tokens - depending on the payment processor. You can find detailed, step-by-step instructions for every supported gateway in the dedicated documentation pages.

Choose the gateway that matches your merchant account and follow the corresponding setup guide to connect it properly to your Tickera store.

Available gateways

The number and type of gateways available in this list depend on your Tickera license and any add-ons you have installed. Some add-ons introduce additional gateway integrations or expand existing ones.

Note for Bridge for WooCommerce users

If you are using the Bridge for WooCommerce add-on, the Payment Gateways tab will not be accessible within Tickera. This is intentional: when Bridge for WooCommerce is active, ticket types are handled as WooCommerce products, and WooCommerce manages the entire checkout process — including payment gateways, taxes, and order processing.

In this setup, you’ll configure and manage your payment methods directly in WooCommerce -> Settings -> Payments, while Tickera focuses exclusively on ticket creation, delivery, and check-in management.
