64Stripe is a simple way to accept payments online. With Stripe you can accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, JCB, and Diners Club cards, even Bitcoin, directly on your store.
65
66= Why choose Stripe? =
67
68Stripe has no setup fees, no monthly fees, no hidden costs: you only get charged when you earn money! Earnings are transferred to your bank account on a 7-day rolling basis.
69
70Stripe also supports the [WooCommerce Subscriptions extension](https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-subscriptions/) and re-using cards. When a customer pays, they are set up in Stripe as a customer. If they create another order, they can check out using the same card. A massive timesaver for returning customers.
71
72= Apple Pay Support =
73
74WooCommerce Stripe includes [Apple Pay](https://woocommerce.com/apple-pay) support, which means customers can pay using payment details associated with their Apple ID. Checkout is now just an authorization (Touch ID or Face ID) away on both mobile and desktop. Only supports simple, variable, and Subscription products for now. More support to come.
75
76= Web Payments API Support =
77
78WooCommerce Stripe includes [Web Payments API](https://www.w3.org/TR/payment-request/) support, which means customers can pay using payment details associated to their mobile devices, in browsers supporting the Web Payments API (Chrome for Android, amongst others). Checkout is now just a few taps away on mobile. Only supports simple, variable, and Subscription products for now. More support to come.
79
80== Installation ==
81
82You can download an [older version of this gateway for older versions of WooCommerce from here](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/developers/).
83
84Please note, v4 of this gateway requires WooCommerce 3.0 and above.
85
86= Automatic installation =
87
88Automatic installation is the easiest option as WordPress handles the file transfers itself and you dont need to leave your web browser. To do an automatic install of the WooCommerce Stripe plugin, log in to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to the Plugins menu and click Add New.
89
90In the search field type WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway and click Search Plugins. Once youve found our plugin you can view details about it such as the point release, rating, and description. Most importantly, of course, you can install it by simply clicking "Install Now", then "Activate".
91
92= Manual installation =
93
94The manual installation method involves downloading our plugin and uploading it to your web server via your favorite FTP application. The WordPress codex contains [instructions on how to do this here](http://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Manual_Plugin_Installation).
95
96= Updating =
97
98Automatic updates should work like a charm; as always though, ensure you backup your site just in case.
99
100== Frequently Asked Questions ==
101
102= Does this support recurring payments, like for subscriptions? =
103
104Yes!
105
106= Does this require an SSL certificate? =
107
108Yes! In Live Mode, an SSL certificate must be installed on your site to use Stripe. In addition to SSL encryption, Stripe provides an extra JavaScript method to secure card data using [Stripe Elements](https://stripe.com/elements).
109
110= Does this support both production mode and sandbox mode for testing? =
111
112Yes, it does - production and Test (sandbox) mode is driven by the API keys you use with a checkbox in the admin settings to toggle between both.
113
114= Where can I find documentation? =
115
116For help setting up and configuring, please refer to our [documentation](https://woocommerce.com/document/stripe/).
117
118= Where can I get support or talk to other users? =
