If you are building a custom web, mobile, or e-commerce application, Stripe is the most flexible, easiest to implement, and feature-rich platform available today. Other payment processors have poor APIs, poor documentation, and poor support in comparison. Stripe The Stripe payment gateway for WooCommerce lets you accept payments directly onsite, and includes the option to offer Payment Request buttons (such as Apple Pay and Google Pay), iDeal, SEPA, SOFORT, and more international payment methods. Download it now at WordPress.org or via the “Add New” option under Plugins on your site.

Minimum Requirements

- MySQL 5.6 or greater is recommended
- In order for the terminal option to be available, you must be logged in as an authorized WordPress administrator or Store Manager (otherwise all your site visitors would see it).
- All orders are associated with cashier, so this will not support account-specific orders (ie. subscriptions)
Visit the WooCommerce server requirements documentation for a detailed list of server requirements.
Usage
- You must be logged in as a WooCommerce store manager (ie. role “Administrator” or “Store Manager”) in order to use the Terminal on the frontend.
- While logged in, navigate your customer through the checkout experience. You’ll be given the option to select the terminal reader icon to process accordingly.

- Credit card prompts will expire after 30 seconds but may be manually canceled by hitting the “Esc” key on your keyboard.
Installation

/wp-content/plugins/directory via FTP or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly (see: https://wordpress.org/support/article/managing-plugins/#manual-plugin-installation). - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
- Click the plugin’s “settings” link and follow the below instructions.
- First click the Connect Stripe button. This enables your account to accept transactions. This is a required step.

This plugin may encounter issues with the “Merge + Minify + Refresh” plugin and other compile and minify production asset plugins. Performance may be impacted by WP Live Chat as that codebase contains uncaught errors. If problems are encountered, simply deactivate your minification plugin, reload the page, then reactivate the minification plugin to rebuild the cache with the new files.
FAQ
I just updated to 2.0.0 and it no longer works
You must click the Stripe Connect button on the plugin settings. This was introduced in version 2.0.0 and is not in our instructional video.
Are there any costs involved?
This is a free plugin, so there are no license fees but you do have to pay your transaction fees as you would with any gateway plugin. Transaction fees are split between us and Stripe and will be reflected as such in your Stripe account. The pro and plus versions do have license fees required which can be found on our website at store.arcanestrategies.com
I keep getting a generic API error, what gives?
This could be a number of things but more often than not it is because of the following:
(1) The plugin is not enabled (see “activate” and settings “enable” checkbox, (2) The Stripe Gateway payment method within WooCommerce is disabled OR API keys are incorrect, (3) The Stripe Gateway’s “Payment Buttons” option is disabled.
What other plugins are required?
WooCommerce and WooCommerce Stripe Gateway. Supported versioning can be found in the README file.
How can I get help with integration?
Requests may be submitted to support at arcanestrategies.com. Support requests start at $225.
How do I add a reader?
Woocommerce Stripe Refund
To add a reader, first make sure that the P400 reader is turned on and connected to the same network as your computer. Then visit the plugin’s “settings” page and click “Add Reader”. Then go to your device, type in the registration code (usually 0-7-1-3-9) and it will return a key (usually a 3 word string). Now enter that string into the prompt on your WordPress site, give it a name, and you’re done!. For more details please check out the instruction section which contains all configuration details.
I can’t see the reader on checkout, any idea why?
The reader will only show on checkout if (a) the p400 is powered on, (b) the terminal is registered, (c) a user with woocommerce store management permissions is logged in, (d) the cart contains only simple products. This version is intended only to provide a retail point-of-sale experience in which an authorized representative is logged in to accept credit cards. This is both for tracking who has accepted charges as well as to prevent the public from seeing the terminal icon while remotely viewing the site. Because of this, purchases which require customer information (such as recurring billing info or email addresses) cannot be performed as the current session contains the administrator’s information. If you need to work around that, visit our website and purchase “Pro Services” (https://www.arcanestrategies.com/products/stripe-terminal-for-woocommerce)
Will your plugin work outside the US?
Our plugin will support any location that Stripe supports, there’s no business logic implemented which would prevent support for our plugin in a region where Stripe Terminal is available. As of date of this writing (January 2020), Stripe Terminal is only supported in North America (US and Canada). Although Stripe does allow transactions overseas for cards typically used in European countries like Maestro, PIN transactions for those unsupported regions are not available. Additionally, the readers themselves are not available for purchase outside the US. As soon as Stripe announces support overseas, anyone who installs either of our plugins will receive notification.
Does this plugin work with the BBPOS Chipper?
The BBPOS Chipper is not a web-based device, it is BlueTooth connected via the iOS/Android mobile SDK’s (for native applications), so it will not work on a website. You may read more information on our blog at https://www.arcanestrategies.com/blog/stripe-credit-card-readers/.
Where can I buy the reader?
Our support team will only support the readers purchased directly from Stripe.com or https://store.arcanestrategies.com/. Many sources sell only the device without the cables (Amazon, eBay, CDW) and the cables are suprisingly expensive, it’s not worth the gamble (trust us, we’ve tried). Also, the P400 by default does not come equipped with the Stripe Terminal software pre-installed unless it’s purchased from Stripe.com which means you won’t be able to use the device with Stripe out-of-the-box.
Why doesn’t the cancel button work?
To cancel an order, hit the “esc” key on your keyboard or wait for the timeout to expire. The Verifone P400’s action buttons (red, yellow, green) are intended to support settings, they do not cancel or edit payments. As soon as Stripe and Verifone make these programmable, they’ll be implemented into this plugin.
Are PIN transactions supported?
Unfortunately Stripe Terminal does not support PIN transactions but they do support debit via signature. We spoke with Stripe and they indicated they have no plan in making PIN transactions possible as they believe that signature debit transactions is sufficient.
Woocommerce Stripe Integration
Why am I getting an error connecting to my reader? I registered it without a problem!
Whe you register your device, Stripe Terminal will assign your P400 to a domain on your private network. This makes it reachable by the API. Some Domain Name Servers do not play nicely with that setup, so they may block that traffic. We suggest that you try switching your network’s DNS provider to CloudFlare (1.1.1.1) or Google (8.8.8.8). Although Stripe states that Google should work, we’ve had customers indicate that it does not, so try both.
Why isn’t the customer’s information shown on the invoice and email receipt?
Please review the documentation above. Customer account information is not supported in this version, you must purchase PRO Services. Out-of-the-box, Stripe Terminal does not gather PII data and WooCommerce will bill to the account which is logged in (the admin performing the checkout). Our PRO Services add-on allows for customer account support to perform purchases for things like subscriptions.
How can I enabled the BBPOS Chipper?
Within the plugin’s settings, (1) enter your Stripe Account ID, (2) within your wordpress permalink settings, make sure you have pretty URLs enabled (post anme), (3) click on the “Stripe Connect” button to complete account connection, (4) download our plugin (see link in Settings) and follow in-app instructions.
