1. In Pretix dashboard select the event you want to configure.
2. On left sidebar, expand "Settings" and click on "Plugins".
3. At the top select the "Payment providers" tab.

6. On the line of "BitPay" click on "Settings".

7. Fill in the URL of your BTCPay Server instance, for example https://mainnet.demo.btcpayserver.org (this is where you have created your BTCPay Server store, see Requirements above).
8. Click on "Start pairing".

---

9. You will get redirected to your BTCPay Server "pairing permission" page. Select the store you want to pair to.
10. Click on "Approve".

---

11. You should see the message "Pairing successful". You won't get redirected back to Pretix automatically, so you can close the tab now.

12. Go back to Pretix and click on "Save" on bottom right.

Congratulations, you have completed the setup.
