Accepting Store Payments with Stripe

In order to accept payments for orders, you will need to set up at least one payment method in your Store settings (Store Dashboard > Settings).

Stripe is a quick and secure way to accept digital wallets and credit or debit cards in your Store. By connecting Stripe, you will be able to accept the following:

  • Visa (credit and debit cards)
  • MasterCard (credit and debit cards)
  • American Express
  • Discover (US merchants only)
  • Digital Wallets - Apple Pay, Google Pay, Microsoft Pay (on supported devices)
  • iDEAL payments (Netherlands merchants only)

Generally, Stripe charges a processing fee of 2.9% + $0.30 for each credit/debit card transaction. iDEAL payments charge a processing fee of €0.29 per transaction (only available in the Netherlands). These rates may also vary based on your country.

You can visit Stripe's global page to see a list of their supported countries and pricing.

What will the client see?

When you have your Stripe account connected as a payment method, your client will see a credit card option when paying for their Store orders. If they are viewing from a supported mobile device, they may also see digital wallet options such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Microsoft Pay.

Troubleshooting Payment Errors

If your clients see an error at checkout when processing payments through Stripe, review the transaction details in your Stripe Dashboard. Under Payments, Stripe will show you the specific reason for the decline, like insufficient funds or incorrect payment details. You can use this information to help your client resolve the payment error.

Stripe may also prevent your clients from making any payments if your Stripe account requires updated account or tax information. If your customers have verified their payment details, but are still seeing an error at checkout, we recommend logging into your Stripe Dashboard to locate any notifications related to information you might need to update. The Stripe Support Team can help with getting your account back in good standing.
