Stripe

LicenseDock integrates with Stripe for one-time and recurring payments.

Setup

1. Create a Stripe account if you don't have one
2. In the Stripe Dashboard, go to Developers → API keys
3. In Joomla admin, go to Components → LicenseDock → Settings → Gateways
4. Enter your Stripe keys:
   • Test Secret Key (sk_test_...)
   • Test Publishable Key (pk_test_...)
   • Live Secret Key (sk_live_...)
   • Live Publishable Key (pk_live_...)
5. Set the mode to Test or Live

Webhook Setup

Webhooks let Stripe notify your store about payment events – like successful payments, renewals, and refunds. Without webhooks, LicenseDock won't know when a payment succeeds.

1. In the Stripe Dashboard, go to Developers → Webhooks
2. Click Add endpoint
3. Enter your webhook URL:

   https://yoursite.com/api/index.php/v1/licensedock/webhooks/stripe

4. Select these events:
   • checkout.session.completed
   • invoice.payment_succeeded
   • customer.subscription.deleted
   • charge.refunded
5. Copy the Signing Secret that Stripe gives you and paste it into LicenseDock settings

What's the signing secret?

It's a security code that proves the notification is genuinely from Stripe and not from someone pretending to be Stripe.

Testing

Use Stripe's test mode with the test card number 4242 4242 4242 4242 (any future expiry, any CVC).

India-based Stripe Accounts

If your Stripe account is registered in India, use test mode keys for development – live mode requires a registered business for international payments.

How Payments Work

• One-time: Customer pays on Stripe's secure payment page, then returns to your site
• Recurring: Stripe charges the customer automatically on each billing cycle and notifies your store
