Stripe Integration with Shopify Tutorial

Stripe Integration with Shopify A Step-by-Step Guide

I. Preparation

1. Ensure that your Shopify store has an active Stripe account.

2. Download and install the Stripe Connect plugin, which allows merchants to transfer funds from a personal bank account to a Stripe account.

3. Prepare a valid Credit Card Authorization Form to authorize Stripe to process customer payments.

II. Integration Steps

1. Log in to your Shopify admin dashboard and navigate to the Apps page.

2. Locate and enable the Stripe app.

3. Open the Stripe Connect plugin and create a new connection request.

4. Submit a valid Credit Card Authorization Form to Stripe. Stripe will review the document within 24 hours, and upon approval, you will receive a confirmation email.

5. In the confirmation email, you will find a unique API Secret Key. Use this key to log in to the Shopify app management page.

6. Go to the Settings page, click on API Keys, and select Create New API Key to generate a new key.

7. Safely store the generated API key in your store's admin panel. This key will be required for all future payment-related operations.

8. Return to the Stripe Connect plugin - you will see that your API key has been successfully linked to your Shopify store.

III. Using Stripe

Now that Stripe is successfully integrated with your Shopify store, you can begin using its comprehensive payment features

1. In your Shopify admin, go to the Orders page. You will see all orders processed through Stripe.

2. On the order details page, you can view the payment status, transaction amount, and other relevant information. If any payment issues arise, you can directly contact the customer for verification.

3. You can also use multiple payment methods offered by Stripe, such as credit cards, debit cards, and PayPal. Simply select the desired payment method on the product page or any other page where payment options are needed.

4. Once a customer places an order and completes the payment, the order status will automatically update to Paid, allowing you to proceed with fulfillment as needed.

IV. Summary

By following the steps above, you have successfully integrated Stripe with your Shopify store and are now ready to take advantage of its robust payment capabilities.
