# How to Integrate Stripe with Fluent Forms

[Stripe](http://stripe.com) is a globally recognized payment gateway that offers **Fluent Forms** inline payment options and a smooth and secure payment experience using credit and debit cards.

This article will guide you through integrating**Stripe**into your **WordPress** **Site** with the ** Fluent Forms**plugin.

> **Remember**, you can integrate **Stripe Payment Methods**with the [Free Version of Fluent Forms](https://fluentforms.com/docs/how-to-install-fluent-forms/) plugin, but a minimum platform fee of 1.9% per transaction applies. But, premium users of the [Fluent Forms Pro](https://fluentforms.com/docs/how-to-upgrade-to-fluent-forms-pro/) plugin do not need to pay any extra fees for using Stripe on your site

## Enabling Stripe Payment Method

First, go to **Global Settings**from the **Fluent Forms Navbar**, open the **Payment**tab from the left sidebar, and click the **Payment Methods**option.

Now, go to **Stripe** in the top navbar and click **Enable** **Stripe Payment Method.** The **Stripe Payment Method** will be enabled globally for all forms.

## Configuring Stripe with Fluent Forms

Once you enable Stripe, all the required settings will appear to configure Stripe with Fluent Forms. 

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

Then, click the**Connect with Stripe**button to redirect you to the **Stripe Login Page** to connect your **Stripe Account**.

Do not forget to press the **Save Stripe Settings** button to save all your changes. 

![2. Connect with Stripe scaled 48155](https://fluentforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/2.-Connect-with-Stripe-scaled.webp)

Here, provide the login credentials of your desired **Stripe Account** that you want to connect with **Fluent Forms**, click the **Submit** button, and your **Stripe** account will be configured. 

> If you do not have an existing Stripe Account, [click here](https://dashboard.stripe.com/register) to open a new account.

![3. Submit button 48155](https://fluentforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/3.-Submit-button.webp)

**Remember**, **Fluent Forms** offers the above-mentioned **Connect with** **Stripe**optionby default for secure and easy integration with **Stripe**. Also, Fluent Forms recommends using this option for all Stripe Verified Partners.

But, if you prefer the traditional **API Key method for the integration,** you can **Disable**this**Connect with Stripe**option by adding the following code snippet to your theme’s **functions.php** file or a code snippet plugin.

> We recommend you use the [Fluent Snippet Plugin](https://fluentsnippets.com/) to add any snippet code to your **WordPress Site**.

```
add_filter('fluentform/disable_stripe_connect', '__return_true');
```

## Configuring Webhook to Set Up Stripe IPN

After configuring Stripe, you can set up **IPN** (**Instant Payment Notification**) **Settings** to enable notifications for **subscription** or **recurring** **payments** in Stripe.

**IPN (Instant Payment Notification)** is a post-message notification sent by [Stripe](http://stripe.com) after a successful subscription or recurring payment. For Stripe to function completely for subscription/recurring payments, you must configure your Stripe webhooks.

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

First, go to **Global Settings**from the **Fluent Forms Navbar**, open the **Payment**tab from the left sidebar, and click the **Payment Methods**option.

Now, go to **Stripe**, and scroll down to the **Stripe Webhook (Recommended for Recurring Payments)**option. 

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

Do not forget to press the **Save Stripe Settings** button to save all your changes.

Now, choose the events recommended by the **Fluent Forms**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 Fluent Forms 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.

- **customer.subscription.updated**: This triggers when a customer’s subscription is changed or updated.

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

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

## Integrating Stripe in Forms

Once you finish setting up your **Stripe** payment method, you can easily add this payment method to any of your existing**Payment Forms** (i.e., a form where [Payment Item](https://fluentforms.com/docs/add-payment-item-field-in-payment-forms/) and [Payment Method](https://fluentforms.com/docs/add-payment-method-field-in-payment-forms/) fields are added).

> If you do not have any existing **Payment Forms**, read this [Documentation](https://fluentforms.com/docs/how-to-create-a-payment-form-with-fluent-form/) to learn how to create one.

First, go to the **Editor** page of your desired form by clicking its **Edit** option.

Once you are on the **Editor** page, go to the **Input** **Customization** menu on the right side of the added **Payment Method** field by hovering over it and clicking the **Pencil Icon**.

Now, go to the **Payment Methods**, check the **Stripe** option, click the **Dropdown Arrow,** and you will get three options. These are:
