Be Confident to Implement Stripe Payments in Your WordPress Site

Fortunately, integrating Stripe payments into your WordPress site is a breezy process that comes with plenty of tutorials and plugins. In this manuscript, we’ll walk you through the nitty-gritty of integrating Stripe payments into your WordPress site, step-by-step:

Step 1: Set up a Stripe account

The first in line is to create an account on the Stripe website, which is free of charge. You will only be charged a 2.9%+30¢ flat rate for every successful transaction. Click the Sign-up button on the Stripe site to get started. Fill in your credentials, including your email and password, and verify your email by following the verification link sent to your inbox. You’ll be required to include your banking information, company name, and thereafter click the activate account button.

To streamline the integration process, we recommend using a plugin. Some of the best plugins include WP Simple Pay, Stripe Payments, and WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway. Go ahead to launch your WordPress dashboard, locate the plugin tab, and click on Add New. Look for your preferred Stripe plugin, and click on Activate.

Update the API Keys that are unique to your Stripe account. Check for your API keys under “Developers” > “API Keys” on your Stripe dashboard. Insert your “Secret Key” and “Publishable Key” into the respective fields on the plugin settings page.

Step 3: Create a payment form

Create a new payment form while still on the plugin settings page. Add product/service details, price, currency, and the relevant information you need to process payments. Customize the form’s color scheme and font to suit your site.

Step 4: Add the payment form to your WordPress site

Navigate to Posts or Pages where to add the payment form. Click on the block editor and search for the Stripe payment block using your installed plugin. Choose your preferred payment form, and it will appear on your desired page.

Step 5: Test the payment system

Before setting your site live, conduct a test to ensure that all systems function correctly. Use Stripe’s test credit cards found on their website to conduct the transaction. Once the transaction is successful, you can launch your website with Stripe integrated payments.

Integrating Stripe payments into WordPress doesn’t have to be daunting. By following these steps, you will get an easy-to-use, dependable, and secure payment system that will keep your clients happy and protect your revenue streams.
