How to Accept Credit Card Payments with Stripe in WordPress?

Do you want to accept credit card payments on your WordPress site and don’t know how? No need to worry! In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to accept credit card payments using Stripe in WordPress forms with ease.

Why Accept Stripe Payments in WordPress?

For the people who don’t want to set up an e-commerce store to sell their products, creating a form that accepts payments from customers is the best solution. And, allowing customers to pay with their credit cards online is a great advantage for your site. It is more convenient and feasible for your customers. There are various payment gateways that provide credit card payment services. Payment gateways allow you to integrate debit or credit card transactions on your website.

Among these payment gateways, Stripe is the best option for credit card transactions. It can process multiple credit card services and provides a safe and secure transaction. Unlike in PayPal, your customers can complete the transaction without having to leave your site. Also, it is much easier to set up an account in Stripe.

Therefore, you need to use a plugin that allows you to add payment options on your forms to accept credit card payments on your site. For this tutorial, we are using our Everest Forms plugin. It is a stripe WordPress plugin that allows you to easily integrate Stripe in your WordPress forms.

But first, make sure you enable HTTPS/SSL on your site before you start accepting credit card payments to avoid security issues.
