What you need before connecting:

– Connection tokens from your Stripe account.

Step 1: Configure Booking Calendar Settings

In your WordPress dashboard, go to:

1. Booking Calendar > Settings > General tab.
2. Under Confirmation mode, select “Confirmation upon payment”.
3. Choose your booking currency.
4. Click Save Settings.

Step 2: Enable Stripe

1. Navigate to Payments > Stripe.
2. Check Enable Stripe.
3. (Optional) Add a title, description, and preferred language (Locale) to display to customers.
4. Add the following keys from your Stripe account:



– Public Key
– Secret Key
– Payment Methods Configuration ID

– (Optional) Webhook Secret Key – recommended for added security and specific methods like SEPA Direct Debit.

You’ll find direct links to these keys in your Stripe through the plugin’s Stripe settings menu. For a step-by-step guide, watch a video.

Step 3: Set Stripe as the Default Payment Method

1. Go to: Payments > General Settings.
2. Under Default Payment Method, choose Stripe.
3. Set the payment timeout (the time customers have to complete payment). If payment isn’t completed in time, the booking will be marked as Abandoned.
4. Click Save Settings.

Ensure your plugin currency matches the supported currencies in your Stripe account.

Step 4: Customize Payment Email Notifications

For bookings with payment (sent after successful payment), you can enable these emails:

– Payment received (admin)
– Payment received (customer)

Create and customize them under Notifications > Select template > Publish. Use various tags, including payment-related like ‘Total paid’ and ‘Left to pay’.

Step 5: Test Stripe on Your WordPress

You can test payments before going live:

1. In Stripe settings, enable Test Mode.
2. Ensure all tokens are added.
3. With Confirmation upon payment enabled, make a test booking.
4. View all test/live transactions under Payments > Logs.

The checkout process will display payment gateways based on:

– Your payment methods enabled in Stripe.
– Supported currencies.
– Customer’s browser and location.
