In order for a form to work with Stripe, you’ll need at least two fields in your form:

An items field (Single Item, Multiple Items, Checkbox Items, or Dropdown Items)
A Stripe Credit Card field

For our example, we’ll create a simple order form that includes Name, Email, Dropdown Items, Total, and a Stripe Credit Card field.

Once any fields you’d like have been added to the form builder, you’ll need to go to Payments » Stripe. From the Stripe panel, check the box labeled Enable Stripe payments.

Then you’ll be able to enter a short Payment Description, which will appear on the user’s credit card statement. Last, under Stripe Payment Receipt you can choose an Email field from the form where Stripe can send a receipt.

For one-time payments, you’re all set! If you’d like to set up a recurring payment, please continue to the next section.

Recurring / Subscription Payments

You can easily set up a subscription payment within this same settings panel. Under the section titled Subscriptions, go ahead and check the box labeled Enable recurring subscription payments.

Once you’ve checked this box, additional settings will appear.

Here are the fields you’ll need to complete with more details:

Plan Name: You’ll need to enter a title for the subscription, such as “Donation to ….”. This will appear within the Stripe transaction.
Recurring Period: You can choose how often the recurring payments should occur: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-Yearly, or Yearly.
