Stripe field

Description

Stripe is a payment processing platform that allows you to securely collect credit card payments from your users. The Stripe field allows you to add a credit card input to your form, and securely process payments.

Charge: You can charge the user’s credit card immediately when they submit the form. This is useful for collecting a fixed amount from the user, like a product purchase, or a donation. The amount can be set in advance, or be the result of calculations, or form selections.

Subscription: You can create a subscription plan in your Stripe account, and allow users to subscribe to the plan using the Stripe field. This is useful for recurring payments, like a monthly subscription, or a membership fee.

Uses

  1. Product purchase: You can use the Stripe field to collect payments for products or services. The user can enter their credit card details, and you can charge the card immediately.

  2. Donation: You can use the Stripe field to collect donations from users. The user can enter the donation amount, and you can charge the card immediately.

  3. Service subscription: You can subscribe users to recurring services, like a monthly subscription, or a membership fee. Note that subsequent actions like cancellations, refunds, and upgrades are managed in your Stripe account.

Styling

  1. Multi-column layout: Use the layout setting under the General tab to display the field in a multi-column layout.

  2. Hide label: Check the Hide label from view setting under the General tab to hide the label from view.

Configuration

  1. Test mode: You can enable test mode to test the Stripe field without processing real payments. In test mode, you can use the test card number 4242 4242 4242 4242, and any future expiry date and CVV.

  2. Enable coupons: You can enable coupons to allow users to apply a discount to their payment. Coupons and their promotion codes are created in your Stripe account.

There are different configuration options based on the payment type:

Charge

  1. Authorize only: Check this option to authorize the payment without capturing it immediately. You can capture the payment later in your Stripe account.

  2. Currency: Select the currency in which you want to charge the user.

  3. Charge calculation: You can set the charge amount to a fixed value, or reference a field using the @ key, or use math calculations.

  2. Tax rate ID(s): You can set the tax rate ID(s) to apply to the subscription. Tax rates are created in your Stripe account.
