Add Stripe in test mode
Create a disabled Stripe test gateway and find the account authorization step. Complete authorization and checkout tests with your own account.
Before you begin
You need a Bootiga account and a store. Open the store through its URL in your Bootiga control panel to enter as the owner.
This video uses the sample store. Labels and sections can differ between templates.
Follow the steps
- Open your store and go to Commerce, Configuration and Payment gateways.
- Create a payment gateway, give it an internal name and select Stripe Payment Element.
- Choose a clear checkout label and select Test mode.
- Keep Stripe connect selected. Leave the gateway disabled while preparing the connection.
- Save the configuration, then choose Connect with Stripe from the gateway actions.
- Complete authorization with your own Stripe account, configure webhooks and test checkout before enabling the gateway.
The video demonstrates a disabled test gateway and where authorization starts. Saving the gateway does not authorize an account or prove that live payments work. No real payment is demonstrated. Payment providers apply their own fees.
