Usage

In order to get started with Stripe payment gateway, you first need to signup for an account with Stripe. Be advised though, Stripe is not yet available in certain countries.

You can signup for a Stripe account here.

1: Once you have signed up for a Stripe account, head to GetPaid > Settings > Payment Gateways > Stripe Payment.
2: Next, click the Stripe Connect button, and authenticate your Stripe account to use with the Stripe extension.
3: Save your settings.
4: Next, you need to copy the Webhook URL and paste it into your Stripe account at Developers > Webhooks > Add endpoint > Endpoint URL.

Events to send via Webhook are invoice.payment_failed, invoice.payment_succeeded, customer.subscription.created, customer.subscription.deleted, customer.subscription.updated, customer.subscription.trial_will_end, charge.refunded

If you wish to test your Stripe connection, you can tick the Sandbox option. Note that you need to disable this option once you have tested everything -- otherwise real-time payments will not work.

Help! Field to Enter Credit Card Information Does Not Load?

If, on the Checkout page, the field to enter credit card info does not load when using Stripe, the most likely cause is a jQuery conflict. Our Stripe payment gateway plugin requires jQuery to be loaded first before our scripts are loaded. When you load scripts via async, this order is not preserved. As such, you should exclude jQuery from deferred scripts, and everything will be back to normal.

In fact, loading scripts via async does not have much effect on your site as all our scripts are loaded in your website's footer after the main website content has been loaded anyway.
