Payments overview
How payment providers are configured in Autonnel, what the provider cards show, and how the unified transactions view reconciles them.
The /payment settings page lets you configure one or more payment providers and view their current status. The /transactions page gives you a unified view of every charge and refund across all providers.
Prerequisites
- Admin role access to Settings.
- At least one provider configured before you can accept payments.
Provider card layout
The /payment page renders two cards side by side: Stripe and PayPal. Each card shows the active/inactive state for the current deployment and links directly to that provider’s configuration form. There are no tabs — each card is self-contained.
Provider configuration
You configure each payment provider once. Credentials are stored encrypted. If you need to update a provider, edit the existing configuration — you cannot create a second configuration for the same provider on the same deployment.
Unified transactions view
The /transactions page shows both charge and refund records in a single list. You can filter by type, status, provider, amount range, and date. Charges and refunds appear together, with refund records linked to the original charge.
How refunds route
Refunds always go through the same provider that processed the original charge. If an order was paid via Stripe, the refund submits to Stripe. If an order was paid via PayPal, the refund submits to PayPal.
Caveats
- Each provider requires its own set of API keys. There is no shared-credential mode between Stripe and PayPal.
- Refunds always route through the original provider; you cannot redirect a Stripe refund through PayPal or vice versa.
- Partially refunding an order creates one refund record. If you refund in multiple batches, each batch produces its own record linked to the original charge.
