Setting up Stripe Payment Gateway

Setting up Stripe Payment Gateway

Stripe provides a secure and seamless way for customers to pay using major credit and debit cards, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and more. To use Stripe in your eCommerce store, you’ll need both an eCommerce account and a Stripe account.

Stripe fees typically start at 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction.

4. If Stripe supports your store currency, select Stripe from the list.
   1. If Stripe does not appear, follow the instructions under “Stripe isn’t available with your store currency.”
5. In the Enable payment method section, turn on the toggle to activate Stripe.
6. Enter your Stripe Secret Key (found in your Stripe dashboard).

Using Sandbox Mode (For Testing)

Your store allows you to test Stripe integration using Sandbox mode.

To enable Sandbox mode:

1. On the Stripe configuration page, turn on the Sandbox mode toggle.
2. Enter your Stripe Test Secret Key in the Test Secret key field.

Sandbox mode allows you to simulate transactions without using real money or live cards.

Stripe supported currencies

Stripe supports a wide range of currencies for processing payments. The list of supported currencies varies depending on the country where your Stripe account is registered.

To resolve this, you must update your store currency.

How to change your Store Currency

1. Go to Settings → General in your admin panel.
2. Open Standards and Formats.
3. From the Currency dropdown, select a currency that Stripe supports.
