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
- Connecting Your Stripe Account
- Stripe Settings Inside Your Campaign
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.
Connecting Your Stripe Account
Sur la page suivante, vous pouvez ajouter une étiquette pour cette passerelle. Elle est pré-remplie avec « Stripe » pour vous, mais vous pouvez la modifier si nécessaire.
Note: There’s a 3% fee for every transaction along with Stripe charges if you’re using Charitable Lite. To remove the additional 3% charge, you’ll need to upgrade to Charitable Pro.
Ci-dessous, vous verrez le format des champs de carte de crédit. Cela vous permet de décider comment vous souhaitez que les clients saisissent les informations de leur carte de crédit. Il y a 2 options ici :
- Champ unique demande le numéro de carte, la date d'expiration, le code postal et les champs CVC dans un seul champ.
- Champs multiples crée un champ séparé pour chaque élément.
Voici à quoi cela ressemblera sur le front-end :
After you choose the Credit Card Fields format, click on the ‘Connect with Stripe’ button.
Cela vous mènera à la page Stripe où vous pourrez vous connecter à votre compte. Si vous n'avez pas de compte, vous pouvez entrer votre adresse e-mail et vous pourrez vous inscrire à un compte Stripe.
Une fois connecté à votre compte Stripe, utilisez le lien « Retourner à WP Charitable » sur la gauche. Cela vous ramènera à votre tableau de bord WordPress et vous verrez que le Statut de la connexion devrait indiquer « Connecté en mode test » ou « Connecté en mode réel » selon le mode que vous avez choisi précédemment.
If you ever need to remove this Stripe account, you can use the ‘Disconnect this account’ link here.
Now you’re all set to start accepting donations using the Stripe payment gateway.
Stripe Settings Inside Your Campaign

When you publish your campaign, depending on the payment options you enabled with Stripe, they will appear in your donation form like this:
