Charitable comes with Stripe Payments built into the platform. You don’t need to use any API keys or manually configure webhooks. Simply log in to your Stripe account to complete the connection.
Note: Before we start, be sure to install Charitable on your WordPress site. Since Stripe is built into Charitable, you don’t need to install any addons or extensions for basic Stripe functionality.
Here’s a table of contents to help you navigate this easily:

Enabling The Stripe Payment Gateway
In your WordPress admin panel, navigate to the Charitable » Settings » Payment Gateways tab. You’ll see the Stripe tab along with an option to ‘Enable Gateway’.
Before you enable this, you’ll also see an option to turn on ‘Test Mode’ below the list of gateways. We recommend using Test Mode when enabling a new gateway to ensure you’ve set up everything correctly before going live on your site.
Make sure to hit the ‘Save Changes’ button to activate test mode.
Now you can hit the ‘Enable Gateway’ button next to Stripe and you will be automatically taken to the Stripe Settings page.
Note: When you enable a gateway, a green ‘Gateway Settings’ button will appear. You can use this to access the Settings page on your own any time you need.
