Stripe Donate

Documentation

This is a list of requirements and instructions that will help you get started.

Requirements: 

Stripe refers to  stipe.com.

  • You will need an account with Stripe.
  • You will need your Stripe API keys.
  • You will need an SSL certificate before processing credit cards through your site.

You should buy an SSL certificate from a good certificate provider. We recommend DigiCert — their certificates have very wide acceptance (and in particular should work well on mobile browsers, where many other certificate providers fall short). NameCheap is another good option. They have slightly lower acceptance but their basic certificates cost $10 to $20 a year.

  • Unless you're frequently setting up SSL, it's pretty much impossible to remember all the steps and configuration directives involved. We recommend following the DigiCert or Slicehost guides.

Directions:

Setup Stripe.

After getting your Stripe account setup. Go to your Account Settings by clicking your account name in the top right of the Stripe Dashboard page.

From your Account setting, select API Keys. You will have a Secret Key and a Publishable Key listed for testing and  a Secret Key and a Publishable Key for a live form.

You will need your Secret Key and Publishable Key for your Stripe Donate form. Only use your live keys if you are ready to go live with credit card transactions. "If you do not have an SSL certificate installed to your domain, it is not recomended to go live."

Setup Your Add-on

Once you install your Stripe Donate add-on.

Add the block to a page and fill in the information it requests.

Give your form a name.

Add your API keys from your stripe.com account 

Give your button a title.   e.g. "Give Now"

Enter the text you would like to be seen after a successful credit card transaction.    e.g. "Thank you for your support"

You are set!!!

After enabling, the Stripe Payment Method will be available for selection on checkout. For test credit card numbers, refer to: https://stripe.com/docs/testing

For a quick success test, simply use the card number 4242 4242 4242 4242 and any valid expiry date and CVC number.
