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:

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.

Additional payment methods may have requirements that need to be met before they’ll be shown to customers. For example:

• Your store currency may need to be set to something specific. For example, Bancontact requires that payments be in Euros (EUR).
• The customer’s country may need to be supported by that method. For example, Przelewy24 requires the billing address to be in Poland.
• Certain product types may not be supported by all methods. For example, subscription products cannot be purchased using buy now, pay later.
• Stripe may need to approve your usage of the payment method before it becomes available.
• The payment method might also be disabled in the Stripe dashboard itself, which deactivates it on your store.

In most cases, the Stripe extension will warn you if some requirement is not met:

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.

Some payment methods have limitations in their functionality. These are listed below.

• BACS will not be offered if the order total is zero.
