It is pretty easy to accept payments on WordPress blogs/ websites. If you are running a membership website/ accepting donations or whatever-related to accepting payments, there will be a lot of ways to do that.
Mainly, folks will be using two payment gateways.
- PayPal.
- Stripe.
Both are very popular payment gateways.
Well, when you need to accept Credit Card payments on your website, we will always recommend you using Stripe.
And in this post, we are going to show you how you can connect Stripe with your payment form!

Hello, WPForms!
We need the famous, easy-to-use WPForms plugin for doing this task. At this time, there are so many WordPress contact form plugins are available on the market.
But, for our users, we will always recommend the best one – WPForms.
There’s a free version plugin available called WPForms Lite with limited features and support.
Anyway, if you need more advanced features, support, and integrations, we recommend you using the premium version.
How To Connect Stripe With Your Payment Form?
The first thing you need to do is, install, and activate the WPForms premium version on your blog. Right now, the WPForms Lite doesn’t have integrations with any payment gateways.
There are a few premium plans available. We recommend you choose one according to your use.
In our case, OnlineRockersHub, we are running on the WPForms Pro plan.
Once you got activated the plugin, you need to verify it with a valid license key.
Then, you will get access to all their add-ons, premium support, updates, etc.
Well, let’s move to the next step. Under the WPForms settings, you will see the Stripe addon.
And within seconds, it will be installed and activated.
Alright.
Now, let’s create a new form. If you are using the WPForms premium version, you could easily select a pre-made form from the wizard.
You can easily import those demos to your form builder or can create one from scratch.
In this case, I am about to import the donation form template.
Name your contact form, import it.
It will redirect you to the form builder.
By default, there will be four fields.
- Name.
- Email.
- Donation Amount.
- Message.
If you think you need more fields, you can drag them from the left side, drop them in the form builder wizard. In my case, these fields are good enough.
Since we are making a payment form, it is essential to set up the payment gateway, configure it.
So, go to the payments tab.
There, you could see the Stripe addon, which is activated. We haven’t activated the PayPal addon, and it is disabled.
Select the Stripe addon.
It will show you a page something like this:
On a new tab, open the WPForms settings.
Choose your default currency and connect your WPForms with Stripe.
You will need to log in to your Stripe account, authorize WPForms, etc.
And then, get back to our form wizard, configure the Stripe settings.
You can mark it as a recurring payment or a one-time payment.
The recurring payment option must be enabled while you are offering any membership plans.
Plus, if you have allowed conditional logic, you can make your form even more powerful.
That’s it!
Save the form, embed it to a page/ post, or wherever you need using the WPForms specific shortcode or by using the WPForms Gutenberg block.
And when someone sends you a payment, you will get it right on your Stripe account, moved to your bank account after processing.
As you know, WPForms comes with a feature called Form Entries.
This means you could see all the entries from specific forms, right on your WordPress dashboard — no need to check your email address every time for new listings.
Using this feature, you could track your donation forms, also.
Opening single forms will show you their detailed report.
Plus, you could see every payment data on your Stripe account.
That’s all!
Now, you know that how to connect Stripe with your payment form. If you still need help and assistance, feel free to comment down or contact WPForms support staff.
