Stripe makes it easy for you to accept credit card payments, and now its fully integrated into Vantage. With the AppThemes Stripe.com Payment Gateway, you can start accepting payments easily and quickly. And the best part, your customers will never even know its not you.

Get Stripe on the AppThemes Marketplace

Installation

You need to have created an account on Stripe.com. You’ll need to have activated the account if you want to start accepting live payments.

Get your API Keys

You can get your API keys from your settings page. To do this, click on ‘Your Account’ and navigate to the API Keys tab. These API keys will need to be placed in the Stripe Gateway settings on your Vantage site.

You will need to turn on or off the ‘Live API Keys’ based on your situation. If you are intending to use Stripe for real payments and have turned on the live mode in your Stripe Account, you will want to check the ‘Use Live API Keys’ box. If not, leave it unchecked.

Enable the Gateway

Now you can go to the ‘Payments’ tab and enable the Stripe payment gateway. Your users will now see ‘Credit Card’ as a payment option.

PCI Compliance Note

Stripe takes care of most of the PCI compliance requirements by accepting payments via Javascript. Using the Stripe Gateway, your customer’s payment information doesn’t ever touch your servers. However, in order to meet all PCI requirements, you must serve your payment form over an SSL connection. To do this, simply enable ‘Force SSL’ on the settings page of the Stripe Payment Gateway while on a server with a valid SSL certificate.
