Verifying the SureCart Configuration in Stripe

If you’re facing issues displaying Stripe payment methods on your checkout, follow these steps:

• Login to your Stripe account.

• Click on the Settings icon and access the Payments tab.

• Under Payment methods, ensure you have the “SureCart configuration” selected as the default.

• You should now see the SureCart configuration set as the default.

Now, you can enable and use any of the available payment methods here!

Troubleshooting Checkout Errors

If you still encounter checkout errors, follow these steps to troubleshoot:

• Click on the three dots and choose Review transactions.

Here, you’ll be able to review how your payment methods appear. If any payment methods do not appear, this section will provide insights into the problem.

• Select the Order amount and currency tab.
• Enter the preferred location, amount, and currency. 
• Click on the Review button.

• Stripe will show you the list of payment methods that do not appear and the reasons.

The first section also shows the payment methods that appear on checkout. 

If the desired payment method is shown here but still doesn’t appear on your checkout, here’s what you can do:

• Go to Transactions and select any individual transaction.

• Copy the transaction ID.

• Go back to the Troubleshooting screen and select the Transaction ID tab.
• Paste the transaction ID that we copied and click the Go button.

This will show all payment methods that are displayed and not displayed for that particular transaction.
