Woo commerce provides a number of pay methods manually by itself.
It consists of
- Direct bank transfer
- Check Payments
- Cash on delivery
All this are the safes methods inn case of customers.
For payment options like credit card, google pay etc. the help of an external source is required.
For this several options are there like stripe , PayPal etc.
- The Woo Commerce itself suggests to use stripe as a payment method for externally.
- For making it work we have to go through several steps:
- Install WooCommerce stripe payment gateway plugin and activate this.
- Go to WooCommerce > settings > payments > Turn on stripe
- Click on the manage button on stripe.
- Here we have to fill some keys that the stripe provides.
- For that go to stripe.com > enable test mode(for locally working on it) > developer >API Keys >copy and paste the values in the website.
Paste the keys in the required fields of the back end of our store
Then go to web hook > add end point >Paste the URL that the WooCommerce provides >Add description > Select events >charge > charge capture
Then click on the add event
Reveal the sign in secret key and paste it on the webhook secret key column and save changes.
After the necessary changes ae made, we can see the credit card column get appeared on the payment option.
We can also track the orders in the stripe store.
