Additional payment methods

Merchants who use the Stripe extension can accept credit cards, debit cards, and express payment methods. However, you can also offer additional payment options, in the form of local payment methods, to certain customers.

This guide will cover:

• Which additional payment methods are available.
• How to enable additional payment methods.
• Customizing the titles and descriptions.
• Rearranging the additional payment methods.

The Stripe extension supports the following additional payment methods:

Since additional payment methods are region-specific, they will only display if the site is accepting payments in a supported currency.

If the site does not offer a supported currency for a particular additional payment method, then a yellow alert will display next to that method. You can hover over the symbol to see what currency is required to display that method.

Some payment methods may require approval from Stripe before you can use them. If that’s the case, you will see a notice to that effect next to the payment method.

Finally, if the additional payment method you’re trying to enable is disabled in your Stripe dashboard, a different notice will be shown.

To enable additional payment methods:

1. Navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > Stripe > Payment Methods.
2. Locate the method(s) you’d like to enable under the Payments methods section.
3. Check the box associated with the additional payment method(s) you’d like to enable.
4. Click Save changes.

Once you’ve enabled the payment methods you want, you’re all done! There are no settings to configure for them, and customers can use them right away.

In checkout, every payment method has a title and a longer description, which is shown when that method is selected in the list.

The titles and descriptions can be customized like so:

1. Navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > Stripe > Payment Methods.
2. Click the Customize button next to the payment method you want to customize.
3. Edit the title and description.
4. Click the Save Changes button.

You may want to display additional payment methods offered by the Stripe extension in a particular order. To change how these payment methods are arranged:

1. Navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > Stripe > Payment Methods.
2. Select the Change display order link at the top of the payment methods list.
3. Drag the payment methods to arrange them in your preferred order.
4. Select Save display order when you are finished to save your settings.
