How To Connect Stripe To WordPress (2024) Full Guide

How to Connect Stripe to WordPress full tutorial

Hey guys, welcome back. In this video, I'll be showing you how you can connect the Stripe Payment Getaway to your WordPress website

So let's get into it. Now, this is my WordPress website. Currently, I haven't built it a lot, but, you know, it's functional

It's currently working. And I might want to start selling product. So one thing to keep in mind is that if you're selling product on WordPress, the first thing

first thing you have to do is go into your plugins on the bottom left click on add new and then you're

going to add voo commerce who commerce is probably one of the most used plugins in terms of selling

products you probably want to use voo commerce so that is the particular plugin that i'm going to be

using to sell my product and then later on we're going to add our actual stripe payment getaway so

i'm just going to activate voo commerce over here and once who commerce has been activated

I can see our product over here. I can go into the WooCommerce settings and I can start adding my products over here

So let's add products on my home page. And after that I want a placeholder image

So after that I'm just going to click on save over here

And I can start clicking on over here to start adding products and whatnot

But let's say I've added my product and I just want to get it over with and set up my striping

up my striped payment method because oftentimes, you know, your product inventory is going to be

ever changing. You're always going to be adding more things and you're always going to be setting up

you know, more products, more tax rates, different shipping methods, all of that is going to be

easy to do. But setting up payments is what we're focusing on. So you guys can see you have

payments via bank transfer and cash on delivery payments directly on VooCommerce. But that is not

what we want we want to accept cashless payments and direct credit payments via stripe and to do that all you going to do is log on to your WordPress dashboard once you in your dashboard you going to click on plugins on the bottom left now once you click

on plugins you're going to click on add new on the top left and then over here on the right side

in your search bar you're going to search for stripe now there are multiple different stripe

getaways the one that is actually created by VooCommerce has a lot of glitches and issues and

That's why it is not recommended by most people using it. It's all right, it's decent to set up, but I wouldn't say that it's issue-free or hassle-free

It can have a lot of cancellation bugs, the checkout bugs, sometimes the checkout page can crash

and all those issues can be super annoying to deal with on a day-to-day basis

Hence why, there are some other alternates that I would suggest you guys use

First off is the payment plugins for Stripe and VooCommerce, and the Sight

The second plugin that I recommend is the Stripe Payment plugin for VooCommerce

These two are pretty good and have far less bugs and issues

So you can use these two to get started with building your Stripe Getaway

Now I'm going to be using Payment Plugins for Stripe and click on install on the top right

And then we're going to click on Activate. Now once you click on Activate, you will be able to see Stripe Buy Payment Plugins

And what you're going to do is that you can just start connecting your account

So the first thing you have is your basic settings, so you're going to click on that

And this will open up your payment, and then within your payment, you will have your API settings

Then you can connect your stripe account. This is what we're going to do

Currently, this is in our testing mode. I'm going to leave it at that and click on Click to Connect

And now I can connect this to my stripe account. Obviously, you will need a stripe account to enable Stripe Payment Getaways, but your

you're just going to connect it with stripe over here and obviously whatever email that you are using

i going to click on continue over here and you can just click on log in if you already have an account if you don have an account you can always create a new account but currently i having some issues with my account so i just going to return back to our homepage but once you have connected your stripe account you will have all of your key connections added you can always enter your test secret key your connection test so you can always take a look at how your actual payment getaway is performing and make sure that you are putting in your text

test webhook secret as well as all of your secret codes, which is your API keys over here

And then you also have your webhook URL. This is going to be the URL that is going to lead to checkout

So this is going to be what you're going to add to the checkout page

You can click on over here to actually see it. And then after that, you have your advanced settings

Now, in your advanced settings, you have your locale type. Then you have your stripe fee

So if you want to display the strike payment fee, then you have your fee display currency

so whether or not it will be displayed in the currency of your order. Then you have your compare status and then refund on cancellation, whether or not you want

automatic refunds to be generated whenever someone cancels their order. Now, after that, you also have some other settings regarding debit and credit cards, so you can go

into debit and credit cards, and you can add some descriptions. so what is going to be the credit card display whether or not you're enabling credit cards or debit cards

and then you have some generic errors and then the credit card icons you want to display let's say I only accept visa

master card and you know diners club so I can enter these credit card icons and then you have your

credit card form so whether it should be a stripe inline form a stripe payment form or a custom form that you want to create

Then after that you also have Apple Pay options but whenever you change something make sure to click on save settings on the bottom

Now after that you also have Apple Pay Google Pay now one thing to note is Apple and Google Pay on this particular plugin they are prone to not working sometimes for no apparent reason

but it is still a pretty good plugin. I don't think that if you're providing Apple or Google Pay, whether or not that's going

to make an altering decision on the consumer's end of whether or not they're going to

purchase the product, but I do think that offering it is a good option

I would recommend you turn it on. However, be careful that these two payment methods might have some issues whenever you're using this plugin

You also have your local getaway set up. So if you are, you know, enabling cash on delivery or other basic options, you can enter those as well

Now, in these you also have things such as Garvopay, Ideal, Klarna, Pay Now, and other options

so people can actually directly pay you in those accounts instead and you also can go back into your basic API settings

to once you have you know completed the actual payment getaway you're going to click on live over here on the

mode and once you click on live you can click on save changes to make the stripe payment getaway live

and now customers can get started with purchasing your items with the striped

stripe payment method. Now make sure that whenever you have installed this plugin, you can go into

pages over here and you will see your home page, your services contact, you know, about page

But when you go into WooCommerce, you are going to create your checkout pages. So make sure

you're including these payment widget options in your checkout page. So I hope you guys found
