Stripe

Accept card payments, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and SEPA direct debit through Stripe. Advik Booking uses Stripe Elements, so card details never touch your server.

What you need

• A Stripe account (free to create — stripe.com/register).
• Publishable key + secret key from the Stripe dashboard.
• A webhook endpoint URL (provided by the plugin).

Where to find it

Advik Booking → Settings → Payments → Stripe.

Setup — 5 minutes

1. Create a Stripe account
   Sign up at stripe.com. You can do everything below with the test mode toggled on — no need to verify your identity for the first tests.
2. Get your API keys
   In the Stripe dashboard, open Developers → API keys. Copy the Publishable key and the Secret key.
3. Enable Stripe in Advik Booking
   Paste the keys into the Stripe settings. Keep Test mode on for now. Save.
4. Set up the webhook
   The plugin shows a webhook URL — something like https://yourdomain.com/wp-json/advik/v1/webhooks/stripe. In the Stripe dashboard go to Developers → Webhooks → Add endpoint and paste the URL. Subscribe to these events:

   text

   payment_intent.succeeded
   payment_intent.payment_failed
   charge.refunded
   charge.dispute.created

   After saving, copy the Signing secret and paste it back into the plugin's Webhook secret field.
5. Test a booking
   Open your booking page, walk through the flow, and on the Payment step use the Stripe test card 4242 4242 4242 4242 with any future expiry and any CVC.
6. Switch to live
   When you're happy, toggle off Test mode in the plugin, swap to your live API keys, and update the webhook endpoint to use the live URL.

Charge type

Deposit example

You sell a $200 service. You want 25% upfront to deter missed appointments.

1. In the plugin: Charge type = Deposit, Deposit type = Percentage, Deposit value = 25.
2. Customer pays $50 at booking. Booking status is pending.
3. You complete the job. In the booking admin, click Mark as paid in full to record the remaining $150 as collected (cash / card reader / bank transfer).

Refunds

From the booking detail view in admin, click Refund. The full or partial amount is refunded via Stripe. The customer receives a Stripe-generated email. The booking status moves to cancelled (full refund) or stays completed (partial refund).
