How to connect Stripe to your eCommerce store

To start selling online, make sure you’ve signed up for a free Payhip account. In your Payhip dashboard, go to Account → Settings → Payment Details. You’ll see a list of payment gateways available in your region, including Stripe (if it’s available to you).

Click Connect and you’ll be redirected to Stripe to connect your account.

From the dropdown list, select which Stripe account you’d like to connect. If you haven’t already activated your account you’ll need to do that by filling in the form and completing the two-step authentication. Then click Authorize access to this account.

You’ll then be taken back to Payhip where you will see that your account has been successfully connected. That’s it! You’ve successfully integrated Stripe to your Payhip store.

If you don’t have a Stripe account yet

If you don’t have a Stripe account yet, click Connect, then click Signup for Stripe to create a new account for free.

Fill out your details, complete the two-step authentication and then click Authorize access to this account.

You’ll then be taken back to Payhip where you will see that your account has been successfully connected.

FAQ

How do I get my payouts from Stripe?

Payouts will be sent to your connected bank account on a daily basis by default. You can change the payout frequency to weekly, monthly, or manually initiated. See " Payout schedule" in this article: Receiving payouts for more details.

Note that if this is your first transaction via Stripe on Payhip, Stripe payments will stay as " pending" for a few days as you go through Stripe’s approval process. The length of this pending period depends on your location (see here). Once that period has passed, payouts will be sent to your connected bank account on a daily basis by default unless you change the payout frequency.

What will my customers see at checkouts?

Once you connect your Stripe account to Payhip, customers see a simple payment form at checkout where they can enter their debit or credit card details. They do not need to have a Stripe account and can complete their payment right away using their preferred payment method.

If you have Stripe (direct), your customers would also see other payment options such as Google Pay and Apple Pay. Please reach out to contact@payhip.com for more information.
