It’s very easy to setup Super Stripe to help you process credit cards on your WordPress website.
All you need to do is register for a free account, connect super stripe to your Stripe account, install the Super Stripe WordPress plugin, and add a shortcode to a page on your site … that’s it.
Here’s information on each one of these steps:
Connecting your Stripe account
After you’ve registered for a free account, all you need to do to connect your account to stripe is:
- Log into your Account
- Click the “Connect with Stripe” button on your main account page:
- Follow the process at Stripe to connect your account
Install & activate the plugin on your site
Once you’ve completed the connection process then you’re ready to start using the Super Stripe plugin on your WordPress website.
Here’s how you can do that:
- Download the current version of the plugin from your account and copy your Super Stripe API Key:
- Install and activate it just like a normal WordPress plugin (either via “Plugins”->”Add New”->”Upload” in your WordPress admin or FTP)
- Visit “Super Stripe”->”Options” in your WordPress admin and paste the API (copied in step 1) into the “API Key” field:
Add the Super Stripe “Buy Now” Form Shortcode
Now that you’ve connected your account to Stripe and you’ve installed the plugin you can now start putting buy now forms anywhere on your site.
All you need to do is go to any post or page editor on your wordpress website and click this button to generate your Super Stripe Buy Now form shortcode:
This button will bring up this dialog which can be used to easily configure your Super Stripe Buy Now form shortcode:
Here’s a small video that will show you how easy it is to embed a payment form onto your website:
Options
| terms required | This can be any text that describes the payment terms of what is to be purchased with the buy now button. This text will display on the payment information collection form. |
| description required | This can be any text that describes what is being purchased with the buy now button. This text will display on the payment information collection form. |
| price required | This indicates the price of the item being purchased. This is used by the payment processing system. |
| return_url required | This is the url that the user will be redirected to once the payment has completed successfully. This is typically the thank you page that the [super-stripe-thank-you] shortcode can be used on to display a thank you message. |
| cancel_url required | This is the url that the user will be redirected to if they cancel out of the payment. |
| livemode | This determines whether test or live transactions will be run by the payment form. Can either be set to “true” or “false” — defaults to “false”. |
| sale_notice_emails | A comma separated list of valid email addresses that will be used to send admin sale notifications to. If this option isn’t set then no payment notification will go out to the admins. |
| button | The text that is used for the “Buy Now” button. Defaults to “Buy Now”. |
| currency | The currency to be used in this payment. Defaults to USD (for United States Dollars). |
| show_name | Indicates whether or not the first name / last name fields will show up on the payment form. Defaults to false. |

| aweber_message | Determines what the message is that will appear with your AWeber signup checkbox. |
| aweber_list | Sets the name of the AWeber list you’re posting the customer info to. |
| mailchimp | Indicates whether or not the Mailchimp signup checkbox will show up on the payment form. Defaults to false. |
| mailchimp_apikey | Sets the Mailchimp API key you’ll be using with this form. |
| mailchimp_list_id | Sets the id of the Mailchimp list you’re posting the customer info to. |
| mailchimp_message | Determines what the message is that will appear with your Mailchimp signup checkbox. |
The Super Stripe Thank You Page Shortcode
Here’s an example of a Super Stripe short code form:
[super-stripe-thank-you]
This shortcode is only visible on a page that the Super Stripe payment process redirects to. This shortcode merely outputs the contents of the customer email on the thank you page.
Customer Email Customization
When a sale is made, Super Stripe will automatically send an email out to the customer. By default, this email is pretty much a receipt … but it can be customized very easily.
The variables available for replacement in this email message are:
| {$first_name} | The first name of the customer. |
| {$txn_num} | The charge id of the Stripe transaction. |
| {$txn_date} | The date the transaction completed. |
| {$txn_price} | The amount of the transaction. |
| {$txn_desc} | The description of the transaction (whatever you setup in the payment form shortcode earlier) |
| {$txn_email} | The email address of the customer. |
| {$txn_buyer_name} | The full name of the customer. |
| {$txn_company} | The name of the company this transaction was paid to. This comes from the value you setup on your Super Stripe account page. |
| {$txn_receipt} | This will display the receipt table that appears in the default customer receipt email. This table displays the following data for the customer: name, price, description, payee (company), invoice (stripe charge id), and email. |
| {$txn_shipping_info} | If shipping info has been selected in the shortcode, this will display any information collected for these fields. |
| {$super-stripe-aws-url} | If the AWS access and secret key have been setup in the Super Stripe options, this will generate an S3 url in your email. Can actually embed options into this just like the accompanying shortcode that you can read about below |
| {$super-stripe-aws-link} | If the AWS access and secret key have been setup in the Super Stripe options, this will generate an HTML link to an S3 url in your email. Can actually embed options into this just like the accompanying shortcode that you can read about below |
Super Stripe AWS URL Shortcode
If the AWS access and secret key have been setup in the Super Stripe options, this will generate an S3 url in your email. Can actually embed options into this just like the accompanying shortcode.
AWS urls can be setup in 2 ways … either as expiring urls or urls that will be unaccessible after a certain number of downloads. You just need to specify the S3 Bucket the file is in and then the path within the bucket to the file.
Here’s an example of how you’d setup a url to a file on Amazon S3 that will expire in 60 minutes as a shortcode:
[super-stripe-aws-url bucket="cool" path="myebook.zip" expires="60:00"]
Here’s an example of how you’d setup a url to a file on Amazon S3 that will expire in 60 minutes as a replacement (for use within the customer email):
{$super-stripe-aws-url bucket="cool" path="myebook.zip" expires="60:00"}
Here’s an example of how you’d setup a url to a file on Amazon S3 that is good for 10 downloads as a shortcode:
[super-stripe-aws-url bucket="cool" path="myebook.zip" maxdownloads="10"]
Here’s an example of how you’d setup a url to a file on Amazon S3 that is good for 10 downloads as a replacement (for use within the customer email):
{$super-stripe-aws-url bucket="cool" path="myebook.zip" maxdownloads="10"}
Super Stripe AWS Link Shortcode
If the AWS access and secret key have been setup in the Super Stripe options, this will generate an HTML link to an S3 url in your email. Can actually embed options into this just like the accompanying shortcode.
AWS links can be setup in 2 ways … either as expiring links or links that will be unaccessible after a certain number of downloads. You just need to specify the S3 Bucket the file is in and then the path within the bucket to the file.
Here’s an example of how you’d setup an HTML link to a file on Amazon S3 that will expire in 60 minutes as a shortcode:
[super-stripe-aws-link bucket="cool" path="myebook.zip" expires="60:00"]
Here’s an example of how you’d setup an HTML link to a file on Amazon S3 that will expire in 60 minutes as a replacement (for use within the customer email):
{$super-stripe-aws-link bucket="cool" path="myebook.zip" expires="60:00"}
Here’s an example of how you’d setup an HTML link to a file on Amazon S3 that is good for 10 downloads as a shortcode:
[super-stripe-aws-link bucket="cool" path="myebook.zip" maxdownloads="10"]

Manual Form Shortcode Reference
The Super Stripe Form Shortcode
Here’s an example of a Super Stripe short code form:
[super-stripe-form terms="$15 One Time Payment" description="Awesome T-Shirt" price="15.00" return_url="http://example.com/thank-you" cancel_url="http://example.com/cancel" livemode="false" sale_notice_emails="admin_email_one@caseproof.com,admin_email_two@caseproof.com" button="Buy Now" currency="USD"]
And here’s an example of a Super stripe shortcode form where customer email is being customized directly in the shortcode as the shortcode content:
[super-stripe-form terms="$15 One Time Payment" description="Awesome T-Shirt" price="15.00" return_url="http://example.com/thank-you" cancel_url="http://example.com/cancel" livemode="true" sale_notice_emails="admin_email_one@caseproof.com,admin_email_two@caseproof.com" button="Buy Now" currency="USD"]Dear {$first_name}, You've purchased an exceedingly awesome product! Thanks! The {$txn_company} Team[/super-stripe-form]
