Enabling Additional Payment Methods in Stripe

If you use Stripe to process payments on your website, you can offer your visitors multiple options for making those payments — including methods like Apple Pay, Google Pay and ACH direct debit. This variety of payment methods can improve the flexibility and convenience of transactions on your site and result in a better experience for supporters.

This article will walk you through the process of enabling different payment options in your Stripe account. 

How to Enable Additional Payment Methods

To incorporate additional payment methods into your Stripe account, follow the outlined steps below. 

• Log in to your Stripe account.
• Visit https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payment_methods to access the Payment Methods settings page. This is where you’ll manage the various payment methods available for your account.
• In the Payment Methods settings, locate the “Select Platform” dropdown and choose “Gravity Forms by rocketgenius.”

• Navigate to the Payment Methods section, where you’ll find a list of possible payment methods. Each will be marked with a status (active, turn on or blocked). 
• Enable the payment methods you wish to offer. Popular choices include Apple Pay and Google Pay. They will have this symbol if they are active.

• Remember to turn off any payment methods you do not wish to offer.
