Connect Stripe to a focused WordPress payment form
Connect an eligible Stripe account, choose the payment methods that fit your customers, and publish one-time or recurring payment forms directly on WordPress.
Link the Stripe account you operate
Payment Page uses Stripe Connect authorization rather than a Payment Page field for pasting Stripe secret API keys. Stripe governs account verification, eligibility, balances, payouts, processing fees, and method availability.
Know which Stripe environment you are using
Connect and manage test and live settings independently, then confirm the intended mode before you publish or troubleshoot a form.
Connect Stripe in four steps
- Step 01
Install Payment Page
Install Payment Page from WordPress.org and confirm that your site meets the WordPress, PHP, HTTPS, and gateway requirements.
- Step 02
Connect with Stripe
Use Stripe Connect to link an eligible account without pasting secret API keys into a Payment Page field.
- Step 03
Review eligible methods
Enable only methods supported by the connected account, country, currency, browser/device, plan, and transaction type. ACH is Pro-only.
- Step 04
Publish and test safely
Place the form with the shortcode or Elementor widget and validate the site in Stripe test mode before considering live payments.

Stripe questions, answered
Do I need Stripe API keys?
No secret keys are pasted into a Payment Page field. Stripe Connect redirects an administrator to Stripe to authorize an eligible account.
How are card fields handled?
The form uses Stripe Elements for card entry rather than ordinary WordPress text inputs. The merchant remains responsible for site security, Stripe requirements, and applicable compliance obligations.
Which Stripe payment methods are supported?
Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, SEPA Direct Debit, Alipay, and WeChat Pay, plus ACH Direct Debit via Stripe Financial Connections on the Pro plan. Recurring subscriptions are supported on every plan.
How much does it cost?
The plugin is free (Stripe’s own processing fees apply, plus a 2% platform fee on the free plan). A single-site Pro annual license starts at $99 in USD; EUR and GBP checkout prices are shown on the pricing page. Pro removes the platform fee and adds ACH.
