  • Charge: Select this option to charge your customers immediately
  • Authorize: Select this option for your customers to approve each payment within a few days (max up to 7 days) - this option requires webhook integration

This is how you can enable the Card payment options in Stripe Gateway for WooCommerce.

Testing

Make sure to test your payments on your store first before going live.

By default, your Stripe API settings will have the Test mode enabled.

It means you can actually test your payments by placing orders with the help of demo cards.

Visit Stripe’s testing document to get information about demo card numbers.

Once you’ve set everything up and tested your payments, we recommend you switch to live mode.

You can do this by going to the WooCommerce Settings ⇨ Payments tab.

Continue to Stripe Woo Payment Gateway > Stripe API Settings and change the mode from “Test” to “Live”.

Save the changes once done.
