Limitations

The current version of the Stripe integration doesn't yet support some features that we offer with the PayPal integration. Specifically, the Stripe integration doesn't yet support:

Configuration

To start accepting payments via Stripe on your forms1, add your Stripe API Key to FormSmarts:

  • Log in to FormSmarts' API Console
  • Select HTTP Method: POST (Create)
  • Under Endpoint URL, enter: https://formsmarts.com/api/v1/integrations/stripe
  • Open a new tab and visit the Developers section of your Stripe account
  • Copy your Secret Key (or create a Restricted Key)
  • Go back to FormSmarts' API Console a paste your Stripe key into the Request Data box, as illustrated below.
  • Submit
Add your Stripe API key

This will create a webhook in your Stripe account to send automated payment status notifications to FormSmarts. Please do not change or remove this webhook, payment integration won't work without it.

Checking Stripe Integration Status

To make sure your FormSmarts account is ready to integrate with Stripe, select the GET (read) HTTP Method in the API Console and submit.

Deleting Stripe Integration

If you no longer want to use the Stripe integration, select the DELETE HTTP Method in the API Console and submit. This will delete the FormSmarts webhook from your Stripe account and remove your Stripe API key from your FormSmarts account.
