Before You Begin
Stripe is the payment gateway that allows your application to process charges securely and professionally. By connecting it, you can accept credit cards, debit cards, and even local payment methods depending on the country where you operate. You do not need advanced technical knowledge: Stripe takes care of all the security and compliance requirements (such as PCI DSS), while your application integrates seamlessly so your customers can pay without complications.Step 1: Access the Integrations Section
Inside the CMS, go to the left-hand menu and click Integrations. Here you will see four options: Stripe, Twilio, Sendgrid, and Intercom.Select Stripe. This is the integration that enables and manages payments in your application.
Step 2: Start the Connection Process
After clicking Stripe, you will be redirected to Stripe’s official connection page. There, you can either log in with your existing account or create a new one if you do not have one yet. The screen will display a form titled “Get started with Stripe.” You need to enter your email address here.If you already have a Stripe account, use the same email to link it.
If you do not, Stripe will guide you through creating a new account with your company details.
Step 3: Complete Your Business Information in Stripe
Before finishing the connection, Stripe will ask you to confirm or complete some details:- Business information: legal name, business address, country.
- Business representative: a person with management responsibility in the company.
- Bank account: where payouts from Stripe will be deposited.
- Tax information: depending on the country, Stripe may ask for VAT, TIN, or equivalent.
Step 4: Authorize Access and Connect Your Application
Once all the information is completed, Stripe will ask you to confirm that you authorize your application to process payments on your behalf.Click Authorize access. When the process is complete, you will automatically return to your application’s CMS and see that the Stripe integration is active.
