Stripe Payments & Subscriptions

How to Configure Stripe Payments & Subscriptions

To install the addon, go to WordPress Dashboard > JetFormBuilder > Addons and find the “Stripe Payment Gateway” addon in the All Available Addons section. Press the “Install Addon” button and, once installed, it will appear in Your Installed Addons. Next, click “Activate Addon” to get it ready for further work.

As you can see, all PRO version addons can be easily installed and activated via JetFormBuilder Dashboard.

Go to the Stripe website and create a new account. If you already have a Stripe account, log into it.

A confirmation letter will be sent to your email address. Proceed to the inbox and click the link in the email to pass the verification. Afterward, you’ll be redirected to Stripe’s dashboard page.

First, ensure that you work in the Sandbox test environment, as indicated by the “Sandbox” text in the upper left corner and the “Switch to live account” button in the upper right corner.

If you are on your live account, press the “Viewing test data” button in the upper right corner to switch to Sandbox mode.

On the page, you’ll see the API keys: the Secret key is required, and the Publishable key is needed only if you are connecting Stripe Elements or Checkout on the frontend.

To learn more details on how to set up the Stripe dashboard, proceed to the How to Set Recurring Stripe Payments in WordPress Form tutorial.

Please refer to the Payment Gateways setup tutorial for more details on form creation with the Stripe Gateway.

Navigate to the WordPress Dashboard > JetFormBuilder > Settings > Payments Gateways tab and turn the Enable Gateways toggle on.

Unfold the Stripe Gateway API tab. Here, you can enter the Public Key and Secret Key copied from the Stripe website and “Save” them to use in the JetFormBuilder forms further.

Go to WordPress Dashboard > JetFormBuilder > Forms and open one of the created forms. In the right-side JetForm section, you will see the Gateways Settings section. Select the “Stripe Checkout” option and hit the “Edit” button.

Let’s go over the settings in the Edit Stripe Checkout Settings window:

• Use Global Settings — toggle it on to pull out the PUBLIC KEY and SECRET KEY if you have entered this information in the WordPress Dashboard > JetFormBuilder > Settings > Payments Gateways directory, or leave it untoggled and enter the keys manually;
• PUBLIC KEY — paste the Publishable key that you obtained from Stripe into this bar;
• SECRET KEY — paste the Secret key generated through the Stripe website;
• GATEWAY ACTION — from this dropdown, you can choose the payment scenario or keep the “Pay Now” action.

To further manage the Stripe payment settings, click the “Sync Access Token” button. Once the access token is updated, you can access more gateway settings.

• CURRENCY CODE — type here a three-letter code that represents the currency used in your form. The full list of worldly currencies can be found here;
• PRICE/AMOUNT FIELD — choose a form field price from the fields list;
• Available macros list — these macros can be used in the textarea fields below – PAYMENT SUCCESS MESSAGE and PAYMENT FAILED MESSAGE – if you want to specify some details for the customer:

• %gateway_amount% – provides the payment amount returned from the gateway template;
• %gateway_status% – provides the payment status returned from the payment gateway;
• %field_name% includes any necessary details from the form field by replacing ‘field_name’ with the actual field’s name;

• PAYMENT SUCCESS MESSAGE — a message shown to the user after their payment is confirmed to be successful;
• PAYMENT FAILED MESSAGE — a message displayed to the user if their payment fails.
