Customers can enjoy effortless payments with either debit or credit card when you connect your website with Stripe. Having Stripe connected to your website demonstrates your website's professionalism and security, along with making life much easier for customers. Knowing how to add a reliable payment gateway is an essential component of any successful online business.

Open the editor, click on Basket, and enter Settings.
Once inside the payment gateways section, click on the white Setup Stripe button.
Please note that, for every purchase, Stripe takes 2.9%, or 40p, as a non-refundable transaction fee.
You will notice that the Connect With Stripe button next to Test Account is blue, while the Connect With Stripe button next to Live Account is grey. This is because you need to set up your Test Account before the Live Account can be activated.
You will be taken to Stripe’s account creation page. Note how a considerable amount of information – operational country, domain name, registered business address, home address, business name, phone number, etc. – has already been filled in.
This is because the system you use to host your website is linked with Stripe, a reliable payment gateway.
In the account creation page, you must:
Once all of this information has been submitted, set up two-factor authentication with your SMS. You will be texted a code, which you enter into the relevant field. Once this is all done, add your login details and a password to create your account.
Having created your Stripe account, you will notice that the Connect With Stripe button next to Live Account has now turned blue. Click this button.
At this stage, you may wonder why you have been taken back to the same account creation form. You may think that you need to fill in the form again. DON’T DO THIS! Filling in the form all over again will create two separate Test Accounts, meaning that your Stripe does not go live and you have to start all over again.
I’ll repeat for the people in the back: DO NOT FILL IN THE FORM AGAIN.
Instead, look for the Sign In button in the top right-hand corner.
At this stage, you will be texted a six-digit code, which you must enter into the relevant field.
Once on this page, click the blue Connect My Stripe Account button.
