FAQ Q317: How do I setup my Stripe account to accept payments through Checkout?

For general information about accepting payments in Planyo see Q121: I'd like to accept credit card payments for the reservations.

First, select Stripe Checkout in the Payment processing site option on the site settings page.

In the next field, enter your Stripe API secret key followed by slash, by your API publishable key, by another slash and webhook secret (see the Webhook section below). For example:

sk_live_BQokikJOvBiI2HlWgH4olfQ2 / pk_live_6pRNASCoBOKtIshFeQd4XMUh / whsec_Yq3Tc6fP4556XLdfgM9WHmjmo1r2

You can find the API credentials in your Stripe Dashboard, in the API section:




In the place of a secret key (sk_live_...) you can also use a restricted key (rk_live_...) which you can create in your Stripe Dashboard. Using a restricted key allows you to limit access to certain areas of your account data for greater security.
Note that the restricted key needs to have the Write permission for All Checkout resources and Charges.

For test transactions, you should enter the test API secret and publishable keys. Note that test credentials start with sk_test_.... (or rk_test_...) and pk_test_.... Webhooks are also enabled for test and live modes separately.
Make sure to change the credentials and webhook secret to live values when you want to start receiving real payments.

Optionally, you can add another slash and enter comma-separated switches to customize the payment process. Type 'email' to prefill the customer's email address field in the Stripe form with the address entered in Planyo. Note that when the address is prefilled, Stripe doesn't allow to change it anymore on their website. Without this option, no email address will be passed to Stripe and the customer will be able to enter their email address during the payment process.
Another switch is 'billing-address'. This tells Stripe Checkout to collect the customer's billing address.

sk_live_BQokikJOvBiI2HlWgH4olfQ2 / pk_live_6pRNASCoBOKtIshFeQd4XMUh / whsec_Yq3Tc6fP4556XLdfgM9WHmjmo1r2 / email,billing-address

In addition to standard credit card transactions, you can turn on additional payment methods in your Stripe Dashboard. Stripe will present the most relevant payment methods for each customer based on their location and currency used.


Webhook

You need to set up a Stripe webhook pointing to a script in our system. This way we will receive updates on your transactions and add payment information to your Planyo reservations.

You can set up the webhook in the Webhooks section of your Stripe Dashboard:



When you click Add endpoint, a pop-up window appears where you can enter the webhook settings.



In the Endpoint URL field enter: https://www.planyo.com/payment-stripe-checkout-ipn.php

In the Events to send section, add the following events: checkout.session.completed, payment_intent.succeeded, payment_intent.payment_failed and charge.refunded.

If you are going to use any delayed realization payment methods (currently this includes Bacs Direct Debit, Boleto, Canadian pre-authorized debits, OXXO, SEPA Direct Debit and SOFORT), additionally add payment_intent.processing, checkout.session.async_payment_succeeded and checkout.session.async_payment_failed.
Note that for this kind of payment methods there can be a 2-14 day delay in payment confirmation.

Once you click the Add endpoint button to submit the settings, the Signing secret section appears below Webhook details (see the picture below). Click the Click to reveal button to see the webhook secret and copy the value.



Next, go back to the Online payments page in your Planyo panel. Go to the Stripe secret key / publishable key / webhook secret field and enter the webhook secret as the third value. The webhook secret is necessary for authenticating events coming from Stripe to our system.
