# How to Configure Stripe Payment Gateway in WordPress with Paymattic?

[Stripe](https://stripe.com/) is a globally recognized payment gateway that is completely free to integrate with [Paymattic](https://paymattic.com/). It supports 135+ currencies! You can accept payment from any debit card and credit card using Stripe. This article will guide you through **configuring** **Stripe** in your **WordPress** **Site** with the **Paymattic** plugin. 

## Configuring Stripe Payment Method 

To learn how to configure the Stripe payment gateway through Paymattic, follow the steps with screenshots below –

First, go to **Payment Gatewa**y from the **Paymattic Navbar**, click the **Stripe** tab from the left sidebar, and the **Stripe Settings** page will open.

Select any **Payment Mode** between **Test** (for test payments) and **Live**(for real payments) as both options follow the same configuration process, e.g., I choose the **Test Mode**.

Then, you need to obtain the**Public key** and **Secret key** from your **Stripe Account**.

#### Get the Publishable Key and Secret Key from Stripe

To learn how to get **Publishable key** and **Secret Key** from your [Stripe](https://stripe.com/), follow the steps with screenshots below –

Once you log in to the**Stripe Dashboard**, go to the **Developers** section from the **Navbar**, and click the **API keys** tab.

### Company Name and Stripe Meta Data

Once you configure Stripe, you can set up the company name and stripe metadata if needed.

- **Company Name**: Enter the **Business Name** here that you want to be displayed in the payment form during checkout. 

- **Stripe Meta Data**: Check this box if you want to send form input data to Stripe as metadata i.e., you can choose what you want to show after a successful payment or payment failures. 

**Remember**, always press the **Save Settings** button to save the changes you made in your Stripe Settings page.

### Add Stripe Webhooks

To learn how to configure the **Stripe Webhooks** to your WordPress Site, follow the steps with the screenshots below – 

To ensure your Stripe dashboard and Paymattic dashboard are in sync, you must configure the Stripe Webhooks.

First, copy the**Webhook URL** and recommended **Webhook Events**forsmooth transactions based on **Stripe** **Data** related to **Subscription/Recurring/Hold** payments.

You will need them later to configure Stripe Webhooks to your WordPress Site.

Now, visit your [Stripe Dashboard](https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/dashboard), go to the **Developers** section from the **Navbar**, and click the **Webhooks**tab.

Click the **+Create an endpoint**button.

Now, choose the events recommended by Paymattic for Stripe to send to your endpoint. 

You can findyour **desired events** by entering their **Name** or **Description**intothe**Events**fields and can **select** **events** by clicking the **checkbox**.

**The Events recommended by Paymattic are briefly explained below:**

- **charge.succeeded**: This triggers when a charge is successfully processed, basically this event occurs when a payment is completed on Stripe.

- **charge.captured**: This triggers when a previously authorized charge is successfully captured. You must use this for **Hold payments**.

- **invoice.payment_succeeded**: This triggers when a payment for an invoice is successful. This is often used for **Subscription** **payments**.

- **charge.refunded**: This triggers when a charge is refunded. This event helps track refund activity that happened on Stripe.

- **customer.subscription.deleted**: This triggers when a customer’s subscription is canceled or ends. This could be due to customer action, automatic cancellation, or a failed payment after retries.

- **Checkout.session.completed**: This triggers when a checkout session is successfully completed. This event confirms that the customer successfully paid for the session.

Once you select all the suggested**Webhook Events**, Click the **Continue** button.

Finally, paste the **Webhook URL** you copied from the **Stripe Settings** page into the **Endpoint URL** field and click the **Create destination** button. 

And, the Stripe Webhooks will be configured with your WordPress Site!

## Add Stripe in Forms

Once you finish setting up your **Stripe** payment gateway, you can easily add this payment method to any of your existing [Payment Form](https://paymattic.com/docs/how-to-create-your-first-payment-form-in-a-minute-and-accept-payments-with-paymattic/).

If you do not have any existing forms, read this [Create a Form from Scratch](https://paymattic.com/docs/how-to-create-a-form-from-scratch-with-paymattic/) or[Create a Form using Templates](https://paymattic.com/docs/simple-form-templates/) documentation to create one.

To learn the detailed process of adding a payment method to an existing form, read this [Documentation](https://paymattic.com/docs/how-to-use-the-payment-method-fields-section/).

But, remember, the added**Stripe**payment method in your **Form** will not function unless you complete the configuration process properly.
