Connecting Stripe to your online store

Stripe is an online payment processing platform that allows businesses to receive payments over the internet. Connect Stripe as a payment method to your online store so that your customers can purchase your products in any currency using all major credit/debit cards.


Currently, Stripe operates in 42 countries. See the full list of supported countries on the Stripe's official website.


Important: You can set up payment methods on Pro and Trial websites.

  1. Navigate to the Developers section on the sidebar and open the API keys section:



  1. Copy the Publishable key and Secret key:



Step 2. Connecting Stripe to your online store


  1. Open the Settings of the site and navigate to the Payment methods tab:



  1. Click Add near Stripe:



  1. If you have the live keys, enter them into the Publishable key and Secret key fields in the Connection section:

Tip: This is a great way to present your "Thank You" page after the successful purchase. See the Creating a Thank You page article for more information.

You can connect Stripe in test mode to check the payment method's operation without using your bank card.

Note: More information about testing the payment system can be found here.


  1. Return to Weblium and activate the Test Mode switch, then paste the previously copied keys into the corresponding fields ①, ②:


Important: The non-test mode fields marked with an asterisk below must also be filled in. You can enter the same sandbox credentials there if you have not entered data for real payments.


  1. Save changes and publish your website.


  1. After setting up the test mode correctly, you can place a test order in your online store, where after filling out the shopping cart, you will see a payment page similar to this:
