Stripe takes one-time and recurring payments on your forms by card, wallet, bank debit, Alipay and WeChat Pay. Stripe accounts are available in these countries.
Connect#
- Open Payment Page > Payment Gateways.
- Pick Test or Live with the switch on the Stripe header.
- Click Connect with Stripe, sign in to Stripe and approve the connection.
Stripe sends you back to WordPress, and the header shows your connected account.
- Test and live mode connect separately, each with its own Stripe keys. You can use one without the other.
- In test mode, Stripe offers Skip this form so you can connect without filling in business details. Live mode needs a fully set up Stripe account.
- One Stripe account serves every form on the site.
- Connecting also sets up the webhook that tells your site when payments succeed. See Stripe Webhook.
Test and live mode#
The Test / Live switch sets the mode for every form on your site. A badge in the WordPress admin bar shows the current mode. In test mode, forms show Stripe's test card number so you can take test payments with no real money.
Disconnect#
Click Disconnect to remove the connection for the mode you're in. The other mode stays connected. Your forms and payment records are kept.
Platform fee#
On the free plan, Stripe payments go through the Payment Page service, which adds a 2% platform fee to each charge, including order bumps, products and upsells. Stripe takes the fee from the payment automatically, so there's nothing to invoice or reconcile. Pro charges Stripe directly with no platform fee.
Stripe's own processing fees apply on both plans. See FAQ.
