Active booth payment account

What is an active booth payment account, is there any cost to have one, & how would I set it up? I’d like to enable direct checkout for my store but it is saying I don’t have an active booth payment account & I don’t know what this means. any information would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Jewelsbelegance,

At this time, Bonanza has disabled the direct checkout feature to protect sellers in our community and avoid potential fraudulent activity. We hope to have this feature re-enabled soon when we are able to better monitor transaction security.

In the meantime, you are able to accept payments via PayPal and Amazon Payments, both of which allow buyers to use credit cards to complete their purchase. You can read more about how to set up those payment options on the following [URL removed]

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding as we maintain a safe community for buyers and sellers!

shouldn’t the site be able to prevent fraudulent activity no matter what payment method is used? if one method can be hacked ANY OF THEM CAN BE COMPROMISED

so anyone who doesn’t like using PayPal I just won’t get any of those sales, wonderful news

I was surprised to read this. I knew Direct Checkout was disabled at one time, but thought it had been reactivated. Disabling for fraud protection surprises me because, from what I understand, Braintree is owned by PayPal. Please correct me if I am wrong.

In the meantime, please, check [URL removed]

maybe You will find some useful info.

“What is a Booth Payment Account?

Your Booth Payment Account contains information about your business and bank account so that we can safely and securely accept payment from your customers at checkout, and then directly deposit those funds into your bank account."

Thanks. I actually found the application page but am stuck because it won’t let me fill in one of the required fields not sure why

Jewelsbelegance says: January 24, 2017

I already filled out the Braintree part of it I just can’t submit the application to Bonanza which is incredibly frustrating & all the other tabs are working fine its just one box I cannot type in its odd

I hope somebody will be able to help You soon.

direct checkout has been DISABLED. Really? so upset. how can they run this site without basic features like this? some people don’t like PayPal & everyone likes options

ArtistsUnion says: January 25, 2017

You can find and offer to Your customers some other online payments methods, PayPal alternatives. Usually they don’t charge buyers and Your fee can also be lover.

Amazon Payments I’m going to look into but I don’t sell on Amazon so do I need an Amazon seller account for that? this is ridiculous & incredibly inconvenient & direct checkout is a basic feature on any shopping site

Jewelsbelegance says: January 25, 2017

nearly all if not all my Etsy orders pay using direct checkout so I feel like I’m missing out I have had nearly 200 if not more Etsy orders since August & I believe all paid with direct checkout many people don’t like PayPal &

Jewelsbelegance says: January 25, 2017

everyone likes options. I have nearly 3500 items listed here now I find out people can only pay certain ways its crazy the security features should work on ANY payment method
