Can't accept payments

NateNate Member Posts: 3

I'm trying to set up payment processing in my "test" account, but keep getting hte message: "Wave Payments cannot be turned on at this time. Please contact support to get additional help."

Contact just brings me to a general questions page that's not providing any assistance or answers.

    Hey @Nate! Thanks for reaching out, this is definitely a tricky one! From what I'm seeing here, it's looking like that's something that might be worth digging into further! I'd recommend reaching out to our Support team by clicking that 'Help' button in the lower left corner of your Wave business.

    Thanks Connor.

    I went back in the following day and it was working and allowed me to set up "checkouts". May have just been a factor of waiting for the process to complete.

    Hey @hessa , it looks like we had a brief outage with Bank Payments specifically. Can you let us know if by chance the issue you're having was affected by this? If not, we'd be happy to help you troubleshoot if you can provide us with more details around what you're seeing.

    Hey @hessa , it looks like your business is located in the US but your business currency is CAD. You have to have your business currency matching your business location to process with Wave Payments. So either US/USD or Canada/CAD. This is the issue you're running into with payment processing.

    To fix this, please create a new business with the appropriate business currency.

    @hessa I'm not understanding your question. Where is the billing address located and where is the invoice address located? Let me know.

    Hey @Maria_Gonzales , it looks like you only have a Personal account associated to your account which is intended to house personal expenses and income. If you want to set up a Payments account, you'll have to add a new business to your Wave account. Check out our Help Center article on how to add a new business to your Wave account.

    It's been over a week and I still can't set up a payments account. I get the following message "Your Wave Payments account cannot be turned on at this time." I also cannot access direct support. Please help.
