New Stripe Payment Methods Added
Offering customers a variety of payment options is essential for digital sellers. It improves customer convenience and helps you reach a broader audience. A wider range of payment methods can help reduce cart abandonment, boost conversion rates, and increase overall sales.
Previously, EDD users could use Stripe to accept bank transfers, debit and credit cards, and Apple Pay/Google Pay.
As of EDD v3.3.5, connected accounts using the Stripe Payment Element can access more options, including:
| Cards | Link |
| Affirm | Bancontact |
| AliPay | EPS |
| Amazon Pay | giropay |
| Apple Pay | iDEAL |
| CashApp Pay | Przelewy2 |
| Google Pay | WeChat Pay |
Note that this is not an exhaustive list. Stripe support and payment method availability may vary depending on the payment type, as well as location, currency, and cart contents.
Managing Stripe Payment Methods
EDD enables most Stripe payment methods by default. You can manage them directly within EDD settings in WordPress.
Just go to Downloads » Settings » Payments » Stripe. Under the Payment Methods section, you manage which methods are turned on/off.
Certain payment methods may require you to request access to turn them on. If so, you can handle this from your Stripe dashboard. Go to Settings ⚙︎ in the top right corner, then click followed by Payments.
Under the Payment Methods tab, locate the payment method you want to enable and select Turn on. If further configuration is needed, it will be listed as Pending until approved.
Upgrade EDD and Add More Payment Options
Update to EDD 3.3.5 is a simple and effective way to enhance your online store and provide customers with a more convenient payment experience.
Go to Dashboard » Updates from your WordPress admin area to upgrade to the latest version.
