Set Up a WePay Account

You must have a WePay account in order to accept credit card payments for your Event or to collect donations using a Donation Landing Page. If you don’t already have one, setting up a WePay account is quick and easy. It offers a simple way to accept credit card payments.

You can access WePay to create a new account while you create your:

• Event – Edit the Event Settings, select “Yes, there’s a fee,”  and choose “Credit Card” as your payment option.
• Donation Landing Page – Add a Donation block to your email, customize the landing page, and select the Payment tab.

From there, you’re prompted to either log into your existing WePay account or create a new one:

1. Enter your:

• First and Last Name

• Email Address
• Password

2. Read WePay’s terms of service and privacy policy, and check the box to agree to them.
3. Click Grant Access.
4. Check the email account for the address you submitted to WePay for the confirmation email. If you don’t see it, don’t forget to check your spam folder! Click Confirm your email.
5. Log into your new WePay account. If you’re creating a Donation Landing Page, click “Manage my account”.
6. Click “Action is needed to complete your account. Update your personal information”.
7. Enter your business and personal information and click Submit.
8. Enter the bank information where donations or event registration fees should be deposited and click Add Bank.

You can complete constructing your donation landing page or event and begin taking credit card payments now that your WePay account is established.
