Connecting Stripe

The plugin uses Stripe Connect OAuth for secure authentication. This means you authorize the plugin to process payments on your behalf without sharing your API keys.

Initial Connection

1. Navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > Stripe Deposits
2. Click the Connect with Stripe button
3. You'll be redirected to Stripe's authorization page
4. Log in to your Stripe account (or create one if needed)
5. Review the permissions and click Authorize
6. You'll be redirected back to your WordPress admin

Once connected, you'll see your Stripe account status displayed in the settings.

Test Mode vs Live Mode

The plugin supports both test and live modes:

Switching Modes

1. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > Stripe Deposits
2. Find the Test Mode toggle
3. Enable for testing, disable for live transactions

Disconnecting Stripe

To disconnect your Stripe account:

1. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > Stripe Deposits
2. Click the Disconnect button
3. Confirm the disconnection

You can reconnect at any time by clicking Connect with Stripe again.

Webhook Configuration

Webhooks allow Stripe to notify your site when payments succeed or fail. The plugin automatically registers webhooks when you connect your Stripe account.

If you need to manually verify webhooks:

1. Log in to your Stripe Dashboard
2. Navigate to Developers > Webhooks
3. Verify the endpoint URL matches your site

The plugin listens for these events:

• invoice.payment_succeeded
• invoice.payment_failed
• payment_intent.succeeded
• payment_intent.payment_failed
