Set up Stripe

Collect card payments by setting up Stripe in the panel, with tests in TEST mode.

Written by Félix Mezcua

Stripe lets you collect card payments through your website. Arcadina does not take part in payments or charge commission: the money goes directly from your customer to you. Stripe's fees are on its website.

Before you start

  • Create a Stripe account.

  • Get your API keys in the Stripe dashboard (Developers › API keys): a publishable key and a secret key, for both the test (TEST) and the real (LIVE) environment. In the Arcadina panel there is a “How to find the keys in Stripe (in English)” link.

Set up the payment method

1. Sales / Payment methods / New payment method (or edit the Stripe one if it already exists).

2. Basic information: type Stripe, descriptive text in each language, uses and Publish.

3. Enter the four keys: LIVE publishable and secret, TEST publishable and secret.

4. Choose the Environment: TEST to try it out, LIVE to collect real payments.

5. Step 2, Costs: % cost, fixed cost, minimum cost and exempt from.

6. Save.

Test and go live

  • With the environment on TEST, place an order and pay with a Stripe test card.

  • Check that the order changes to Paid.

  • Change the Environment to LIVE and save.
