The Stripe plugin for WooCommerce allows you to accept payments directly on your store for web and mobile. With Stripe, customers stay on your store during checkout instead of being redirected to an externally hosted checkout page, which has been proven to lead to higher conversion rates.
Stripe is a simple way to accept payments online. Stripe has no setup fees, no monthly fees, and no hidden costs. Hundreds of thousands of businesses—ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies—rely on Stripe’s software tools to securely accept payments and expand globally.
Stripe is available to businesses in 40+ countries. With Stripe, you can accept all major debit and credit cards from customers in every country in 135+ currencies, as well as Apple Pay, Google Pay, and other local payment methods, such as Alipay, iDeal or SEPA Direct Debit.
The Stripe WooCommerce plugin utilizes Stripe Elements to provide you with a PCI-compliant checkout experience that works across browsers and devices of all sizes. Stripe Elements is a set of Stripe hosted input fields built with the collective experience of Stripe’s front-end, design, and analytics teams and help your customers input their information quickly and correctly to minimize user error and increase the number of successful payments. Stripe Elements can be customized to perfectly fit into your theme.
Stripe Elements transmits all sensitive data directly to Stripe without passing through your servers so you remain PCI-DSS compliant. Learn more about Stripe Elements.
Customer preferences at the time of checkout vary drastically and supporting local payment methods can significantly increase the likelihood of conversion. With Stripe, payment methods can be easily activated from your Stripe Dashboard, no secondary contracts or additional plugins necessary. Once you’ve activated a payment method from your Stripe Dashboard, update your WooCommerce Checkout settings to list the payment method on your checkout page.
Payments made with any payment method on Stripe, including cards, will show up in your Stripe Dashboard, which makes reporting and unified payouts easy. Check out Stripe’s guide to payment methods to discover and select the right payment methods for your customers.

The WooCommerce Stripe plugin comes with built-in support for Apple Pay, Google Pay, and the Payment Request API to speed up checkout for your customers on desktop and mobile.
Fast Checkout on mobile devices with Apple Pay and Google Pay.
The Payment Request API is a browser standard that Stripe and a selected group of industry leaders are developing in cooperation with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The Web Payments Working Group is aiming to help make the payment experience on desktop and mobile faster and more convenient for everyone and with that increase the share of purchases that are being completed on mobile devices.
The WooCommerce Stripe plugin utilizes the Stripe Payment Request Button to support fast checkout experiences right from the product detail and cart pages.
