Connecting Stripe to Webflow is a seamless process that allows you to accept payments on your website with ease. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to integrate Stripe into your Webflow project.
Step 1: Sign up for a Stripe account
Before you can connect Stripe to Webflow, you’ll need to create a Stripe account. Head over to the Stripe website and sign up for an account. Once signed up, you’ll have access to your unique API keys.
Step 2: Access your API keys
To connect Stripe to Webflow, you’ll need your API keys. To find them, log in to your Stripe account and navigate to the Dashboard.
Click on “Developers” in the left-hand menu and select “API Keys.” Here, you’ll find both your publishable and secret API keys.
Note: Keep your secret API key confidential and never share it publicly. This key gives access to sensitive information and should be handled with care.
Step 3: Add the Webflow Ecommerce component
To enable ecommerce functionality on your Webflow site, you need to add the Ecommerce component. Open your project in the Webflow Designer and go to the “Add Elements” panel on the left-hand side. Scroll down until you find the Ecommerce section and click on it.
- Select a template with ecommerce
- If your project already has ecommerce enabled, skip this step
Step 4: Connect Stripe using API keys
Once you’ve added the Ecommerce component, it’s time to connect it with Stripe. In the Designer, click on “Ecommerce” in the left-hand menu, then select “Payment settings.” Here, choose “Stripe” as your payment provider.
Note:
If you don’t see Stripe as an option, ensure that you’ve added the Ecommerce component correctly.
Step 5: Enter your API keys
To connect your Stripe account, you’ll need to enter your API keys. In the Payment settings panel, locate the “API keys” section and click on “Connect with Stripe.” A popup will appear where you can enter your publishable and secret API keys obtained from Step 2.
Note:
Make sure to enter the correct API keys. Any mistake can result in a failed connection.
Step 6: Test your integration
After entering your API keys, it’s essential to test if the integration is working correctly. Create a test product in Webflow’s Ecommerce panel and go through the checkout process using a test credit card provided by Stripe.
- Use card number “4242 4242 4242 4242”
- Select any future date as the expiry date
- Use any three-digit number for the CVC code
If everything is set up correctly, you should see a success message upon completing the test purchase.
Congratulations! You have successfully connected Stripe to Webflow. Now you can start accepting payments on your website seamlessly.
