Payment Provider Settings

Manage your PayPal or Stripe payment provider settings

Written by Austin Headley

Your Payment Provider Settings

ShopBroker supports two payment providers for sellers: PayPal and Stripe. You can connect either one, or both. Manage them all from the Payments page.

Accessing Payment Settings

On desktop: Click your profile picture, select Payments, then open the Settings tab.

On mobile: Tap the menu icon, tap Payments, then open the Settings tab.

You can also visit shopbroker.ca/payments/settings directly.

> If you previously accessed payment settings from your Profile Settings page, you'll now find everything at Payments > Settings instead.

What You'll See

The Settings tab shows two payment provider cards side by side:

  • PayPal on the left

  • Stripe on the right

Each card shows your connection status, an action button (Connect, Set as Active, or Open Dashboard), and any attention banners if a provider needs something from you.

If a provider needs action (such as pending verification or a restriction), you'll see an Action Required banner near that card.

PayPal

PayPal is trusted by 35M+ merchants and 426M+ shoppers, accepted in 200+ countries and 100+ currencies. When connected to ShopBroker:

  • Buyers can pay through PayPal at checkout

  • Sale amounts land in your PayPal balance after delivery is confirmed

  • You manage your bank link and withdrawals inside PayPal directly

Connecting PayPal

If your PayPal card shows Not Connected, click Connect PayPal. You'll be sent to PayPal's secure onboarding flow. Sign in (or create a new account), confirm your details, and grant ShopBroker permission to receive payments on your behalf. When PayPal is done, you'll come back to ShopBroker with PayPal connected.

For the full walkthrough, see Setting Up PayPal.

What You Can Change in PayPal

Click Open PayPal Dashboard from your Payments Settings to manage:

  • Linked bank account: Set up where your withdrawals land

  • Withdrawal: Move your PayPal balance to your bank

  • Business profile: Update your business name, address, and tax information

  • Account settings: Change your password, security settings, and notification preferences

PayPal handles your verification and payouts on their side; ShopBroker doesn't manage these directly.

Verification Status

If PayPal needs more information, you'll see one of these statuses on the card:

  • Verifying: PayPal is reviewing your account

  • Incomplete: Something's missing in your PayPal setup

  • Cannot receive payments: PayPal placed a restriction; resolve through PayPal

For troubleshooting, see PayPal Account Problems.

Stripe

Stripe is a trusted payment platform used by businesses around the world. When connected to ShopBroker:

  • Buyers can pay with credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, AmEx)

  • Sale amounts land in your Stripe balance after delivery is confirmed

  • Automatic payouts go to your bank on your chosen schedule (daily, weekly, or monthly)

Connecting Stripe

If your Stripe card shows Not Connected, click Connect Stripe. You'll go through Stripe's secure onboarding flow, including identity verification, business details, and bank account setup. When Stripe is done, you'll return to ShopBroker with Stripe connected.

For the full walkthrough, see Setting Up Stripe Connect.

What You Can Change in Stripe

Click Manage in Stripe from the Settings tab to open your Stripe Express dashboard and update:

  • Payout schedule: Daily, weekly, or monthly

  • Bank account: Update your deposit account

  • Business info: Legal name, address

  • Tax information: Update as needed

Verification Status

If Stripe needs more information:

  • Check email for verification requests from Stripe

  • Click Manage in Stripe to see exactly what's needed

  • Complete all steps to enable payouts

For troubleshooting, see Stripe Account Problems.

Choosing Your Active Provider

If you only have one provider connected, that's automatically the active one. If you have both connected, one is the active provider (used at checkout for new orders).

To change your active provider:

Go to Payments > Settings

On the provider you want to make active, click Set as Active

The change applies immediately to new orders

In-flight orders stay with whichever provider handled them at checkout. For more on this, see Choosing Your Payment Provider and Changing Your Payment Provider.

Disconnecting

PayPal

To disconnect PayPal, go to Payments > Settings, scroll to find the Disconnect PayPal option, and confirm. You can reconnect anytime from the same page.

Stripe

To disconnect Stripe, contact our support team. Stripe Connect accounts have a few extra cleanup steps.

Before disconnecting either provider, make sure all pending transactions are complete first.

Keeping Your Account Safe

  • Use a strong password on your payment provider account

  • Enable two-factor authentication on PayPal and your bank

  • Don't share dashboard access

  • Monitor your providers' dashboards for unfamiliar activity

Troubleshooting

Can't Open the Dashboard

  • Make sure popups aren't blocked for paypal.com or stripe.com

  • Check for verification emails

  • Try a different browser

  • Contact support if the issue persists

Payouts or Funds Not Arriving

For PayPal sellers:

  • Check your PayPal balance directly at paypal.com

  • Make sure your linked bank in PayPal is current

  • Confirm your email is verified in PayPal

For Stripe sellers:

  • Verify your bank account details in Stripe

  • Check for any holds flagged in Stripe Express

  • Allow the full processing time (1-3 business days is typical)

  • Contact support if the delay persists
