Setting Up The Stripe Gateway (v2)

IMPORTANT NOTE: This article refers to Ultimate Multisite version 2.x.

You can activate up to four methods of payment on our payment settings page: Stripe, Stripe Checkout, PayPal and Manual. In this article, we will see how to integrate with Stripe.

Enabling Stripe​

To enable Stripe as an available payment gateway on your network, go to Ultimate Multisite > Settings > Payments and tick the toggle next to Stripe or Stripe Checkout on the Active Payment Gateways section.

Getting your Stripe API keys

Once Stripe is enabled as a payment gateway, you will need to populate the fields for Stripe Publishable Key and Stripe Secret Key . You can get this by logging in to your Stripe account.

Note: you can activate Sandbox mode to test if the payment method is working.
