How to accept payments with Khipu

Khipu is an automated online payment gateway that lets you collect payments from your customers over the internet through bank transfers in a simplified, automated way. It is widely used in Latin America, with strong roots in Chile, where customers pay directly from their bank account rather than with a credit or debit card. Because each payment is settled as a bank transfer instead of a card transaction, the per-transaction cost is typically very low, which can mean significant savings for your business. When Khipu confirms the transfer, TourTask automatically marks the booking as paid and sends confirmations to both your business and the customer.

1. 1

   Open the Khipu card

   Go to Configuration → Payment options and click the Khipu card under Online payments → Payment gateways. Not there? Choose Show all gateways under the cards.

2. 2

   Choose the country and currency

   Pick the Country where your Khipu account and its bank account are, and the Currency travellers pay in. Click Add. To change either later, remove Khipu with Remove and add it again.

   Under Authentication, the card has a field for each:
   Collector ID
   Key

   Each field saves when you click out of it.

4. 4

   Activate Khipu

   Click Activate once every field is filled in. The card turns Active, and travellers can pay with Khipu on your booking page. Every payment goes straight into your own Khipu account: TourTask never holds your money.
