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 your checkout form in the Stripe Dashboard. 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.

• Simultaneous authorization and capture–The issuing bank confirms that the cardholder can pay, and then transfers the funds automatically after confirmation.

• Separate authorization and capture–The authorization occurs first, and the capture occurs later. To capture funds, change the order’s payment status from Authorized to Paid or Partially paid in the Shopware administration panel.

Refunds

You can refund any order with a Paid status. To initiate a refund, select the order under Orders > Overview in the Shopware administration panel. Change the order’s payment status from Paid to Refunded.
