NOTE: Stripe is currently the only available provider, but more may come in the future.

Access Membership Payment page
- In the Admin Toolbar, click Admin.
- Navigate to Membership > Membership Payment.
Configure the payment provider
- Up first, select the default currency to use for payments. Note that changing the currency type in the future will not alter the currency type for existing payments, only those moving forward.
NOTE: Stripe will automatically detect a user's currency based on their location and/or card information.
- Next, select the payment provider that will process membership payments. In this case, select Stripe.
NOTE: Stripe is currently the only available provider, but more may come in the future.
- After selecting the payment provider, a new section appears where you need to configure the provider's API credentials. Follow the instructions on the page to complete this step.
- Once the API Secret and Webhook Secret are saved, you need to submit a test payment from a credit card of your choosing to the Stripe account to finalize the configuration. To do so, click Test to display the Stripe checkout page in a new tab with the indicated payment amount.
- Enter a credit card number and follow the on-screen prompts to finalize the test transaction.
NOTE: A minimum of 2.00 must be charged (click Randomize Amount to randomize the number).
Submitting the payment test will charge the indicated credit card.
