And we’ll show you how to add payment gateways in WordPress using Link by Stripe so you can serve more customers, not just a few.

Let’s get started.

What is Link by Stripe?

Link by Stripe is a simple way to install a payment gateway in WordPress to make checkouts faster, easier, and more efficient.

Plus, you get access to Stripe’s payment gateway, which is best for WordPress.

Customers enter their email, online payment information, and phone number to register. Next time they check out with a Stripe merchant, it’ll recognize their email and automatically send an authentication code to checkout faster.

Stripe Links Add-on

This solution speeds up the checkout process and makes things simpler for customers. It’s an excellent way how to add a payment gateway to a website in WordPress.

And we’ve got the perfect combination for you.

Stripe and Formidable Forms

Link by Stripe with Formidable accepts credit cards, debit cards, and both Google and Apple Pay, so receiving payments into your bank account is faster than ever.

With the Stripe add-on, you simply toggle on the Link by Stripe setting, and you’re off to the races!

So, if you’re starting from scratch, we’ve got you covered.

Note: Stripe handles all processing fees.

Link by Stripe with Credit and Debit Cards

Any time your customer enters their email address, the Stripe Link form will automatically appear, asking for card details and a phone number.

Then, it will recognize the email on all future purchases and automatically send an authentication code to the customer.

Once the customer enters the code, the checkout is automatic, secure, and fast.

Link by Stripe with Google Pay

Customers can also easily set up Google Pay from Formidable Forms.

So, if customers prefer to have the simple sign-up of Google, they can set it up and save it for all future purchases.

So, if you never had the ability to process payments through Google before…you do now!

Link by Stripe with Apple Pay

The same is true for Apple Pay, too!

If users prefer the security and simplicity of Apple Pay, let them use it easily! 

Formidable Forms aims to provide you with the most options possible for your forms.

And this is just the start.

Note: Apple Pay only works on Safari as of now. Also, it takes extra configuration in Stripe's settings for it to work.

How to add payment gateways in WordPress with Stripe

First, you’ll need to install and activate the Formidable Forms WordPress plugin to integrate a payment gateway to a WordPress website.

To access Stripe, you need the Stripe add-on, available in Formidable’s Business plan or above.

Then, it’s four easy steps:

  1. Install the Stripe add-on
  2. Create your Stripe payment form
  3. Set up your Stripe settings
  4. Display your form

    Step 1: Install the Stripe add-on

    To start your setup for your payment gateway in WordPress, you’ll need the Stripe add-on. To get your Stripe add-on, go to Formidable → Add-ons, search for Stripe, and install it.

    Next, head to Formidable → Settings → Stripe. Scroll down and select the Connect to Stripe button.

    You’ll redirect to the Stripe website to log in and set up your details.

    Follow Stripe’s prompts to connect your account and return to your WordPress dashboard.

    Step 2: Create your Stripe payment form

    So we’ve used WordPress to integrate your payment gateway service.

    Now, we need to create your form for payment. So, go to Formidable → Forms.

    At the top of the page, click Add New to start creating your form. You can select to make your form from scratch using a Blank Form or choose one of our 100+ templates to get started.

    We’ll use a Stripe form template for this example since it’s done most of our hard work. We chose the Credit Card Payment template, but feel free to choose whatever suits your business needs.

    After you choose your form and name it, the plugin will take you to our simple drag-and-drop form builder.

    Feel free to add fields like email addresses, dropdowns, or other options. Simply click, and drag, and it’ll add to the form.

    Once you’ve added all your fields, click Update to save your changes.

    Step 3: Set up your Stripe settings

    Now that you’ve created your form, it’s time to learn how to set up a payment gateway in WordPress with Stripe.

    Once your form is saved, click the Settings page at the top of the form builder.

    Next, choose Actions & Notifications and choose Collect a Payment. These are your Stripe settings, and you can adjust them to collect a one-time or recurring payment, what currency to accept, and more.

    But, we want to focus on the Use previously saved card with Stripe link feature.

    Stripe Link Toggle

    Simply enable Link by Stripe, and it’ll automatically ask your customer for their information when they enter their email during checkout.

    So, that’s how to implement a payment gateway in WordPress.

    Now, we just need to show it on your website!

    Step 4: Display your form

    Last, we need to add your form to your online stores so customers can purchase products!

    So, go to the post/page on which you want to display your form and add a new WordPress block.

    Search Formidable and choose the Formidable WordPress block. Next, select your payment form from the dropdown menu.

      I'm looking for a simpler way for payment since I have only few products. Woocemmerce is overqualified. Formidable seems able to do it. Will try this soon.
