Minimum Requirements

Pegboard v6.5.2211.5190

Stripe Requirements

The following keys are required for setting up Stripe. Each item below identifies the key, and where to find this key in the Stripe website. Make sure you've got your Stripe log-in details ready.

Account ID
- Go to the User Settings
- Scroll down to Account section
- The Account ID should look similarly to this acct_XXXXXXXXXXX
Publishable Key
- Go to the API keys area
- Switch to Test mode or Live mode by toggling on or off the Test mode option found at the upper right corner.
- In Standard Keys table, locate the token for Publishable key
Secret Key
- Go to the API keys area
- Switch to Test mode or Live mode by toggling on or off the Test mode option found at the upper right corner.
- In Standard Keys table, locate the token for Secret key

The Stripe keys can come in TEST mode and LIVE mode. It's always advisable to test the Stripe payment gateway in your Pegboard v6.5 site using the TEST keys before switching to the LIVE keys, so it's better to have both sets of keys ready. The Account ID is the same regardless of the mode.

Configuring the Stripe payment gateway

Log-in to the admin console of your Pegboard v6.5 website.
Select Modules > ECommerce > Manage Gateways
Click Add New button. This will display a section with editable Merchant Gateway Settings.
Fill in the following fields
- Gateway Description (e.g. Stripe)
- Gateway Name (select Stripe from the dropdown control)
- Address - set the value to https://js.stripe.com/v3/
- Port - set the value to 0
- Merchant ID/Number - set this to your Account ID
- Merchant Code - set this to your Publishable Key
- Merchant Key - set this to your Secret Key
Click Save button just below Merchant Gateway Settings
Click Save button at the upper right corner
Select Modules > ECommerce > Settings
Under Payment Types look for Credit Card and set its Gateway to Stripe.
Click Save button

Testing The Stripe payment gateway

A test credit number is available to test the Stripe payment gateway provided that the keys used when setting up the gateway are test keys. You cannot use this test credit number on a Stripe payment gateway using LIVE keys. The following are the test credit card details:

Card number: 4242 4242 4242 4242

Expiry date: Any future date in mm/YY format

CVC: Any 3-digit number
