Payment Plugins for Stripe WooCommerce
The Payment Plugins for Stripe WooCommerce plugin is your gateway to accepting secure online payments through Stripe's powerful payment platform. This plugin is designed to be as simple or as sophisticated as your business requires—you can have payments working in just a few minutes, yet it supports endless customization for those who need advanced features and control.
Whether you're a merchant setting up payments for the first time, an agency configuring stores for clients, or a developer building custom payment experiences, this plugin provides the flexibility and features you need to create a seamless checkout experience.
What This Plugin Does
The plugin connects your WooCommerce store directly to your Stripe account, enabling you to accept payments through multiple channels and methods. Beyond traditional card payments, you can offer customers modern payment options like Apple Pay, Google Pay, buy-now-pay-later services like Klarna, Affirm, and Afterpay, Link Checkout for returning customers, and many other payment methods to meet diverse customer preferences.
Who This Documentation Is For
This documentation serves three primary audiences: store owners who want to set up and manage their own payment processing, agencies and developers who configure WooCommerce stores for clients, and technical users who need to customize payment flows or integrate advanced features. Whether you're handling a small boutique shop or a high-volume enterprise site, you'll find guidance tailored to your complexity needs.
Before You Begin
To use this plugin, you'll need an active Stripe account. If you don't have one yet, you can sign up at stripe.com. Stripe handles the complex aspects of payment processing, compliance, and security, while this plugin manages the integration between Stripe and your WooCommerce store.
How This Documentation Is Organized
This documentation follows your setup journey from start to finish. You'll begin with connecting your Stripe account, then move through the API Settings overview where each configuration option is explained in detail. Next, you'll explore the Advanced Settings page and all its options. From there, comprehensive sections cover each payment method with detailed descriptions, screenshots, and configuration guidance for every available option. The documentation concludes with an FAQ section for common questions and Code Samples for developers who need custom implementations.
Each section builds on the previous one, but you can also jump directly to specific topics when you need quick answers.
