Stripe setup??

Hey Patrick,

There are a few first steps you will want to take. You will want to get your API keys from Stripe and set those up. That is really the most difficult part (still pretty easy though) because after that’s done then you are good to go and start making shortcodes to show the Stripe button.

You can also view more information on the website here: https://wpsimplepay.com/docs/

Let me know if that helps getting you started or if there are any other questions you have.

Thanks!

Hey Nick,

Thank you for your kind reply.

I have already setup my API keys, but how will my customers be able to buy something and choose the option “Stripe”? How do I connect my Stripe to my webshop? If you have the time for it, can you tell me in steps everything I should do?

I have setup my Stripe and downloaded the plugin and have written the API keys into the plugin….what now?

This plugin is designed to be a stand alone plugin to be used. It is not built to integrate specifically with any ecommerce type plugins. It may be possible for you to do it, but in most cases we suggest looking for plugin add-ons available for your ecommerce plugin.

What does that mean? If it doesn’t intregrate what can I use it for? Sorry, but I don’t understand it. Hope you can help me, where can I get help with intregrating Stripe into WooCommerce? ??

It means that our plugin works on it’s own and is not meant to integrate with WooCommerce or other ecommerce type plugins. You can install our plugin and start using Stripe right away.

If you are using WooCommerce then I believe there is a Stripe plugin specifically built for it that you can use. If you need help with that then I would contact that plugins author or WooCommerce to see how you need to proceed.

I am going to mark this as resolved since it seems like this should resolve your questions. If you require further assistance with our plugin please let me know and I will be glad to help.

Thanks!

Hi,
Im using that simple “pay with card” button and I have it showing up just fine on my wordpress site, but when I go to complete a “test” I don’t see any test transaction in my Stripe dashboard.
Ive created the “plan” which I assume is the item or service I want to sell and I wonder if Im not entering the “data name” correctly.

any thoughts and is this a common but simple installation problem?

thank you

@wordpresser100,

Sorry you are having an issue.

There are a few things to make sure of:

1. If you are using test mode then you need to make sure you are also in test mode in your Stripe dashboard.

2. The shortcode is simple and you don’t need a plan created in the Stripe dashboard. You can just add [stripe amount="500"] and that will get you accepting payments. The amount is in cents so that would $5 in that example.

3. You can also view our docs site to help get you started: https://wpsimplepay.com/docs/

Hope that helps get you started but let me know if you have any more questions.

Thanks!

thank you Nick for your reply,

<form action=”” method=”POST”>
<script
src=”https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.js&#8221; class=”stripe-button”
data-key=”pk_test_IcBVttRBYZPpb1DDz0xZctX7″
data-amount=”2000″
data-name=”Demo Site”
data-description=”2 widgets ($20.00)”
data-image=”/128×128.png”
data-locale=”auto”>
</script>
</form>

I tried using the form code I posted above and Im on test mode
it seems to work when I click the pay with card button, it opens the pop up box,
I enter a sample credit card number and then click pay and the box gives me a green check mark and then the page refreshes.

But regardless if I try a test or live attempt, I dont see the transaction on my dashboard any where,
there seems to be a break down from the time I enter the credit card details to the Stripe dashboard.

Im using a wordpress website and I have installed the plug in and enter the four keys
and set in some of the default settings like a page re-direct after the transaction (which isn’t working)

so I am wondering if Im missing a step somewhere?

thank you

Hopefully this information that some one from stripe sent me will help with figuring out where i am going wrong (below is the message I received from Stripe)

The flow for making a payment with Stripe can be divided in two broad steps:

1. Your customer’s browser sends credit card details directly to Stripe’s server, and gets a token in return. This is done using your publishable API key.

2. Your customer’s browser forwards the token to your server, which in turn uses it to make a charge creation API call. API calls originating from your server are made using your secret API key.

Looking at your account’s logs (https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/overview), I can see that there are successful token creation requests. For instance: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_6xEcsGPnn3KheP

This means that step 1 is going okay. However, these token creation requests are not followed by any API calls, so there’s a problem somewhere in step 2.

It might be that your secret API key isn’t properly configured, so double check this. Or it might be a problem with the plugin you’re using. While I hate to send you elsewhere for help, you should try to contact the plugin’s author or support, they might be able to better troubleshoot the problem.

any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, Ive been working on this for two days and cant sell on my website till I get it worked out.

I feel silly because I am sure it isn’t that complicated and most get this worked out right away

thanks

Do you have a link to your site that I can see the button on?

Just to be sure you are checking in the “Payments” tab in your Stripe dashboard correct?

Could you also let me know what settings you have set and the shortcode you are using?

You can also try to see if there are any theme/plugin conflicts so we can rule that out by running through the steps here: https://wpsimplepay.com/docs/getting-started/theme-and-plugin-conflicts/

I will do what I can to get you up and running.

Hello Nick,

I really appreciate the time you’re giving me here and I appreciate your determination help me fix my problem.

I actually went to your company’s website and submitted my issue with a little more detail because I’m not too sure how much I should post here on this public site.

Hopefully you’ll be able to see that email that I sent to your company, I had another question though and I’m wondering if some of my problem is because I have not actually paid for the plug-in?
Could this be the issue?

When I signed up for stripe I started looking around on the Internet and found some blogs and videos that told me to download your plug-in for my WordPress site and from that point it just seems like I’ve been getting further and further away from resolving this issue.

the short code that I’m using is the one I posted above which is this one below
<form action=”” method=”POST”>
<script
src=”https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.js&#8221; class=”stripe-button”
data-key=”pk_test_IcBVttRBYZPpb1DDz0xZctX7″
data-amount=”2000″
data-name=”Demo Site”
data-description=”2 widgets ($20.00)”
data-image=”/128×128.png”
data-locale=”auto”>
</script>
</form>

I have looked in the payments tab for the test and the live purchase that I made on my website page and nothing seems to appear but in the email that I submitted to your company on your website I posted the response I got from a member at stripe after they looked at my account.
They really didn’t give me any information and told me that if I’m using a plug-in I should contact the company that provided the plug-in.

Thanks again and looking forward to adding this resolved sometime soon

Is that code what you are adding to the page or post? You should be able to do it by just adding something like this in your page editor:

[stripe amount="2000"]

That will automatically build the whole form for you.

If you are already doing that and the code you pasted is coming from your website page (view source) then you might try changing the image URL to be a full URL and not just the short version.

I will keep an eye out if anything comes through our support for me, otherwise I will keep responding here.

Im not following the [stripe amount=”2000″] code you posted or where and how its to be included in the form code i need to create the button on the page. Is it possible that the plug in isn’t working because I didnt pay for the service on your website?

Hi All,
I understand that this topic is closed, but i have a related question here.
Based on what i found on Stripe site, I can paste the below code to get a stripe button. Since I am integrating with a third party service which has its own Stripe account, all I know is it’s Stripe publishable key. Given this, where/how should i add the below code, to get a custom payment method on my woo commerce setup? I cant use the WP simple Pay plugin as I don’t have/need Stripe API keys, since the third party will take payments on Stripe and will give me a commission later.

<form action=”” method=”POST”>
<script
src=”https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.js&#8221; class=”stripe-button”
data-key=”pk_test_IcBVttRBYZPpb1DDz0xZctX7″
data-amount=”2000″
data-name=”Demo Site”
data-description=”2 widgets ($20.00)”
data-image=”/128×128.png”
data-locale=”auto”>
</script>
</form>
