Merchants who use the Stripe WooCommerce Extension can accept credit cards, debit cards, and express payment methods. However, merchants can also offer additional payment options — in the form of local payment methods — to customers.
This guide will cover:
- Which additional payment methods are available in the Stripe WooCommerce Extension.
- How to enable additional payment methods.
- Rearranging how additional payment methods are displayed.
Which additional payment methods can I offer?
↑ Back to topThe Stripe WooCommerce Extension supports the following additional payment methods:
Requirements for displaying additional payment methods
↑ Back to topSince 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 then a yellow information symbol will display next to that additional payment method. You can hover over the symbol to gather more details about what currency is required to display that additional payment method to customers on checkout.
Additionally, 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.
Lastly, if the payment method you’re trying to enable is disabled in the Stripe dashboard, a different notice will be shown.
NOTE: If you would like additional payment methods to be available for customers while the new checkout experience is disabled, you must use the shortcode checkout as these payment methods are not compatible with the checkout block.
Enabling additional payment methods
↑ Back to topTo enable additional payment methods:
- Navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > Stripe > Payment Methods.
- Locate the additional payment method(s) you’d like to enable under the Payments methods section.
- Check the box associated with the additional payment method(s) you’d like to enable.
- Select
Save changes
to save your payment method settings.
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.
Customizing payment methods
↑ Back to topIn 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:
- Navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > Stripe > Payment Methods.
- Click the Customize button next to the payment method you want to customize.
- Edit the title and description.
- Click the Save Changes button to save the custom title and/or description.
Change display order
↑ Back to topYou may want to display additional payment methods offered by the Stripe WooCommerce Extension in a particular order.
To change how these payment methods are arranged:
- Navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > Stripe > Payment Methods.
- Select the
Change display order
link at the top of the payment methods list. - Drag the payment methods to arrange them in your preferred order.
- Select
Save display order
when you are finished to save your settings.
NOTE: Changing the payment method display order will only affect methods offered via the Stripe extension’s shortcode checkout page, not the block checkout page.
