Adding Stripe to Your Payment Forms

After adding Stripe to your WordPress site, you need to connect Stripe to your payment form.

There are two ways you can do that:

You can add a new payment form
Edit an existing payment form

If you add a new payment form, you need to create it from scratch.

For your form to work with Stripe, you need to have at least two fields in your form:

An item field (Single Item, Multiple Items, Checkbox Items, or Dropdown Items)
Stripe Credit Card field

After creating a payment form successfully, you need to configure the payment settings.

Follow the steps below to configure payment settings on your form.

Go to Payment >>Stripe, and from the Stripe panel, check the Enable Stripe payments.
Enter a short payment description.
Select the email field under the payment section to send a receipt.
If you want to accept recurring payments from people, enable “recurring subscription payments”.

Once you enable recurring payments, you will see some additional settings appear below.

Plan Name – Enter the title that you want to appear for the subscription which will be displayed in the Stripe transaction.
Recurring Period – Choose the recurring payment time (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Half-Yearly, or Yearly.)
Customer Email – Select an email field from your form where clients can be contacted.

You can make your form more powerful by enabling conditional logic.

Click on the Save button at the top right corner once you are done and exit the form builder.

You can embed the form to a post or page using the shortcode or by using the WPForms Gutenberg block.

When someone sends payments on your form, it will be sent to your Stripe account and then moved to the bank account after processing is done.

WPForms has a feature called Form entries using which you can view all the entries from the specific form within the dashboard of your WordPress site.
