How to Use Stripe in Eduma: A Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Install and Activate the Stripe Add-on

Unlike typical plugins that require a separate file download, Eduma simplifies the process. The Stripe add-on is already included with the theme, waiting to be installed.

Once activated, the “LearnPress – Stripe Payment” plugin will appear in your main Plugins list, confirming that it is ready for configuration.

Step 2: Enable the Stripe Payment Gateway

Now that the add-on is active, you need to enable it as a payment option within LearnPress.

1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to LearnPress > Settings.
2. Click on the Payments tab.
3. You will see a list of available payment methods. Find Stripe and tick the checkbox in the Enable/Disable column to enable it.

Step 3: Configure Your Stripe Account Details

The final step is to connect your Stripe account with your website by adding your unique API keys.

1. While still in the LearnPress > Settings > Payments menu, click on the Stripe sub-tab at the top.
2. Here, you will find the fields to configure the gateway:
   • Enable: Ensure this box is checked.
   • Live secret key: Your secret API key for live transactions.
   • Live publish key: Your publishable API key for live transactions.
   • Enable test mode: Check this box if you want to test the payment process without using real credit cards.
   • Test secret key: Your secret API key for testing.
   • Test publish key: Your publishable API key for testing.
3. To get your API keys, you must log in to your Stripe account. For detailed instructions, you can follow the official guide here: Stripe Docs: Manage API Keys.
