Client secretEach field saves when you click out of it.

Activate Venmo
Click Activate once every field is filled in. The card turns Active, and travellers can pay with Venmo on your booking page. Every payment goes straight into your own Venmo account: TourTask never holds your money.
Venmo has a card of its own in TourTask, apart from PayPal’s. The Venmo button only shows to travellers who can use Venmo, on devices that support it. PayPal gives everyone else a way to pay.
