Step 1: Install and Activate WPforms Plugin and Addon
You need to install and activate the WPforms plugin in your WordPress web site if you have not installed it. If you have installed, you will need to purchase a WPForms license, either the pro or ultimate package, for you to access Stripe Addon.

You can change the currency form that you want to receive payment from here before proceeding (optional), in default settings, you will receive order in the form of dollars, and then scroll down to Stripe section.
From this section, click on Connect with Stripe, button, you will be required to authorize the connection between your Stripe account and your form. After licensing, you will be redirected to the admin area where you should find the connection status checked.
Step 3: Add Stripe to Your Payment Form and Customize

After filling all the recurring subscription payment fields, click on the Save button.
You can also proceed to set up Conditional Logic for payment. However, this section is optional. Conditional Logic is a setting that allows you to build a form that automatically changes the form based on the user’s selection. Conditional Logic lets your users choose whether to pay using Stripe or any other online payment processor such as PayPal. It also allows your users to decide whether to submit a one-time or recurring payment.
To set up a Conditional Logic subscription, check the box named Enable Conditional Logic on the subscription section. An additional field will appear where you will set up a conditional rule. You can set the conditional rule as; Process Payment as Recurring if Payment Type is Quarterly.

Remember to click on the Save button when done.
After saving the changes, your form will be ready for use, and you can exit the form builder. When your users send payment or donations, the cash will be sent to your Stripe account then to your bank account. However, it is advisable to test the functionality of your form before launching it. The reason for testing is to ensure that everything is set and is as per your wish.
By following these three steps, you will connect your Stripe account with your website and start selling your products and services at ease. Also, your customers will have a hassle-free experience doing business with you.
