To make a payment via Stripe, customers have to:

1. Enter the required details on the Payment Page.
2. Click the payment button (for example, Pay Now or Proceed to Pay).
3. Choose a preferred payment mode and make the payment.

Once the payment is successful, you will receive an email notification regarding the payment made by your customer. The payment details can be viewed in the Payments module. The payment will be settled in your bank account during the next payout.

Payment Methods

Your customers can make payments using a variety of methods supported by Stripe, including cards, payment services, and bank transfers.

Cards

Stripe supports popular card brands such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, JCB, Discover, and Diners Club. Customers can make secure payments using these cards.

Bank Transfers

iDEAL: A trusted payment option that enables customers in the Netherlands to make online payments through direct bank transfers via their trusted banks.

Bancontact: Bancontact facilitates online payments for customers in Belgium through mobile apps, QR codes, or the Bancontact website.

ACH: Customers in the US can make ACH payments by linking and verifying their bank accounts through micro-deposits or Stripe’s Financial Connections.

Giropay: Giropay is a popular German payment method that allows customers to complete transactions using their online banking credentials. It is a bank redirect system, meaning customers are redirected to their bank’s secure environment to authorize the payment.

Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL)

Klarna: Klarna provides flexible payment options, such as Pay in 30 Days or Pay in 3 or 4 installments, and is available in several countries across Europe, the US, and Australia.

In Zoho Checkout, PayNow is available as a dedicated payment method when your Stripe account is integrated. When a customer pays via a Payment Page, a unique PayNow QR code is generated for the exact amount due. The customer can scan this QR code to make the payment, and the amount will be credited to your bank account.

GrabPay: GrabPay is a secure digital wallet that lets customers in Singapore make fast and secure payments. If you’ve integrated your Stripe account with Zoho Checkout, you can use GrabPay to pay online or in person by scanning a QR code. You can also top up your wallet using your bank’s credit or debit card.
