1. Connecting Stripe API Keys

2. Verifying Test Transactions

Before accepting live payments, test the checkout flow using Stripe's standard test card number: 4242 4242 4242 4242.

Enter any future expiration date (e.g. 12/30) and any 3-digit CVC code (e.g. 123). Confirm that the order updates to 'Paid' and appears in your Orders dashboard.

Practical Business Scenarios

How leading merchants implement this functionality in daily operations:

International Cross-Border Sales
Situation: A local handicraft store wants to sell ceramic tableware to customers in the United States and Europe in USD.
Best practice: Enable Stripe in Conversora. International buyers can checkout seamlessly in USD using Visa, Mastercard, or Apple Pay, with funds deposited directly into the merchant's bank account.

Troubleshooting & Common Issues

Diagnose and resolve frequent failure points quickly:

Problem: Customer sees 'Your card was declined' during checkout
Why this occurs: The customer's issuing bank declined the charge due to insufficient funds, international transaction restrictions, or failed 3DS verification.
Resolution: Instruct the customer to contact their issuing bank to authorize international e-commerce transactions, or advise them to try a different card.
