Stripe Payment Gateway Plugin for WooCommerce – Setup Guide

The Stripe Payment Gateway Plugin for WooCommerce empowers WooCommerce store owners to seamlessly accept payments from their online stores. With this plugin, businesses can offer customers multiple payment options, including Credit/Debit Cards, as well as various local payment gateways like Alipay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Payment Request Button, SEPA Pay, Klarna, and Stripe Checkout through the Stripe platform.

• Stripe Overview Page: A consolidated overview of all the Stripe payments. Capture payments and refunds manually. It also displays a graphical representation of the overview of the Stripe payment for a given period of time. Process partial or full refunds. Displays all the order/transaction details as well.
• Pay with Local payment gateways.
• Customize your Stripe Checkout (custom text, description, and logo for the Stripe payment gateway.)
• Save card details:  Save customers’ card details so that it’ll be easy for them to use them for their next transaction.

Before anything else, ensure that you have a Stripe account in place. Creating a Stripe account is free of charge. Additionally, Stripe provides the option to test payments in a test mode. Please refer to Stripe’s guidelines on business information requirements.
