How to Create an Online Form With Stripe

Are you looking to streamline your online payment forms? With FormSmarts Stripe integration, accepting credit cards and collecting fees has never been easier.

To get started, simply follow these steps:

  1. Add fees to your form: Include the description, amount, and currency of each fee directly on your form. Check out our quick three-minute video tutorial for guidance. If you’ve used our popular PayPal integration, the format is the same.
  2. Integrate with Stripe: Edit your form and navigate to the Submit Actions tab in the Form Builder. Select Integrate with Stripe as shown on the screenshot below, and save your changes.

  • Select HTTP Method: POST (Create).
  • Enter the Endpoint URL: https://formsmarts.com/api/v1/integrations/stripe.
  • Open a new tab and access the Developers section of your Stripe account.
  • Copy your Secret Key (or create a Restricted Key).

Can a form offer both PayPal and stripe options? In other words, can a form be built such that the user can choose whether they want to use PayPal or provide credit card info?

Corinne,
Right now a form can’t offer both PayPal and Stripe payment options, but we are considering adding support for this in the coming months. For now, you could have two versions of the same form (create one and make a copy), and provide a link to the other form at the top of the form for people who want to use the other payment method.
