How to Configure Stripe Payments

To install the addon, go to 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 on Your Installed Addons. Next, click “Activate Addon” to get it ready for further work.

As you can see, all PRO version addons can be installed and activated through 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. Click on the New Business bar in the upper left corner of the sidebar, enter the account name and press the “Add name” button.

Good. Now, you will be able to locate two Stripe API keys – the first is Publishable key and the second is Secret key. Cope them someplace safe because you are going to need them later.

Go to JetForms > Forms and open one of the created forms. In the right-side menu, you will see the Gateways Settings section.

NOTE. For proper functioning of the gateway, the form should contain at least one “Insert/Update Post” post-submit action. If it is missing, the form will not pass the Gateway and the “Edit” button will be unavailable.

Once you choose the proper Post Submit Actions, the “Edit” button will be highlighted in blue. Click on it to open the Edit Stripe Checkout Settings window and let’s go over its settings.

• Use Global Settings. Enable this toggle to pull the data from the Stripe Gateway API’s settings and pre-fill the Public and Secret Key fields;
• Public Key. Paste the Publishable key that you obtained from Stripe into this bar;
• Secret Key. This is where you paste the Secret key, generated through the Stripe website;
• 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;
• Before payment processed. Select here an action that you would like to be performed on the backend prior to processing the payment;
• On successful payment. In addition to showing the user a Payment success message, you can specify here the action that will be carried out after the payment went through;

• On failed payment. If the payment was not successful, you might want to send the user an email stating that the payment failed and suggesting how to fix that issue.

NOTE. The three advanced payment settings listed above appear if you add more than one action in the Post Submit Actions section and set them up.

• Create payment order notification. This is a Radio field type that will be shown when you create several “Insert/Update Post” actions. Choose the desired option here, and the form will execute it after the payment is carried out;
• Price/amount field. In this drop-down select, pick the corresponding price field within your form;
• Available macros list. These macros can be used in the Textarea fields below – Payment success message and Payment failed message – in case you would like to specify some details for the customer.

• %gateway_amount% – will provide the payment amount returned from the gateway template;
• %gateway_status% – will provide the payment status returned from the payment gateway;
• %field_name% – will provide any necessary details from the form field, the name of which you write instead of the “field_name”;

• Payment success message. This is a message that will be shown to the user after his/her payment is confirmed to be successful;
• Payment failed message. This message will be shown to the user in case his/her payment did not come through.
