Hint
Please contact our support team for more information on available integration options. You can also visit our extensions store to explore other integrations and extensions.
Stripe is a leading online payment processing platform that enables businesses to accept credit card payments and other forms of online transactions securely and efficiently. Integrating Stripe with OroCommerce allows businesses to use the powerful features and capabilities of Stripe within their OroCommerce website, streamlining the payment process for customers and merchants alike.
Note
Stripe Integration comes as a separate OroCommerce package and requires installation of the Stripe Integration package.
Key Stripe Features
Here is an overview of the key Stripe features that OroCommerce supports:
Stripe Payment Support: Stripe is a comprehensive payment solution that allows you to accept payments directly on your website. It supports a wide range of payment methods, including major credit cards, digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay, and localized payment methods across different countries. The integration ensures a seamless checkout experience, enabling customers to enter their payment information directly on your OroCommerce website without being redirected to an external payment page.
Stripe Connect: Stripe Connect is a flexible platform that enables businesses to create and manage multi-vendor transactions, making it an ideal solution for the OroCommerce marketplace scenarios. The integration helps facilitate payments between buyers and sellers, splitting and distributing the payments among multiple connected accounts.
Stripe Radar: Stripe Radar is a machine learning-based system that helps identify and prevent fraudulent activities in real time. By integrating Stripe Radar into OroCommerce, you can leverage its powerful fraud detection capabilities to protect your business from fraudulent activities.
To ensure that Stripe can collect and analyze data from various customer interactions throughout their browsing and purchasing journey (e.g., the time spent on pages, mouse movements, and the number of times they interact with certain elements), you must select the User Monitoring checkbox when configuring the Stripe integration. It allows Stripe to load the Stripe.js script on all storefront pages of your OroCommerce website, which collects the data seamlessly in the background without affecting the customer’s experience.
Exchanged General Data
During the integration between OroCommerce and Stripe, multiple types of data are exchanged to facilitate the smooth flow of payment information and enable secure and seamless transactions. The data exchanged between OroCommerce and Stripe includes:
Transaction Amount: The total amount of the payment, which is sent from OroCommerce to Stripe for processing.
Currency: The currency in which the transaction is made.
Customer Information: Information about the customer making the purchase, such as name, email address, shipping address, and billing address. This information allows Stripe to associate the transaction with a specific customer account.
Order Information: Details about the products or services being purchased, including item names, quantities, prices, and any applicable taxes or discounts.
Payment Status: Information on the payment transaction status, such as pending, successful, failed, allowing OroCommerce to update the order status accordingly.
Refund Information: If a refund is initiated through OroCommerce, the necessary data is sent to Stripe to process the refund back to the customer’s original payment method.
Webhooks: OroCommerce registers webhook URLs with Stripe to receive real-time updates about events, such as successful payments, failed payments, or refunds. This ensures that OroCommerce stays up-to-date with the latest payment status and can trigger appropriate actions accordingly.
Fraud Protection: If User Monitoring is enabled in OroCommerce, the Stripe.js script silently gathers relevant data about customers’ behavior to analyze and detect patterns associated with fraudulent activities. If the transaction is considered high-risk, Stripe can trigger additional verification steps, such as 3D Secure authentication.
3D Secure Authentication (Optional): If 3D Secure authentication is enabled, OroCommerce sends relevant transaction data to Stripe to initiate the authentication process when required, providing an extra layer of security for certain payments.
It is important to note that the exact data exchanged and the level of integration can vary depending on the configuration settings and the customization implemented within OroCommerce.
