Choose your payment form

Configure the payment form that displays to your customers during checkout. Under Payment form settings, you can choose from the following:

• Integrated payment form–The Payment Element is an embeddable UI component that lets you accept 25+ payment methods with a single integration.

• Redirect to Stripe–Stripe Checkout lets you redirect your customers to a Stripe-hosted, customizable checkout page to finalize payment.

Customize the payment form

You can customize the appearance of the integrated payment form. Under Select a theme for the integrated payment form, choose one of the following: Stripe, Night, Flat, or None.

Collect your customer’s postal code

You can specify whether or not to collect your customer’s postal code at checkout using the Never collect the postal code field. Stripe recommends collecting and verifying postal code information, which can help decrease the card decline rate.

• (Recommended) Unselect this field if you want to require a postal code at checkout. This applies to cards issued in Canada, the United Kingdom, or the United States.

• Select this field if you don’t want to collect a postal code at checkout.

Choose how to capture funds

You can specify how you want to authorize and capture funds using the Enable separate authorization and capture field.

• Unselect this field to use simultaneous authorization and capture. The issuing bank confirms that the cardholder can pay, and then transfers the funds automatically after confirmation.

• Select this field to use separate authorization and capture. The authorization occurs first, and the capture occurs later.

You can usually authorize a charge within a 7-day window.

To capture funds, do either of the following:

• In the PrestaShop dashboard, change the order’s payment status from Authorized to the status you specify in the Catch status field. For example, you can use Shipped as the catch status. The capture occurs automatically when the status changes.

  If the capture is unsuccessful, the status changes to the specified value in the Transition to the following order status if the authorization expires before being captured field.

• In the Stripe Dashboard, under Payments, select All payments. On the Uncaptured tab, select the order and then click Capture.

Refunds
