Common issues when configuring Stripe with Webflow

  1. Invalid API keys: One common issue when configuring Stripe with Webflow is entering incorrect or invalid API keys. Ensure that you have copied the correct API keys from your Stripe account and paste them accurately in Webflow's Stripe settings. Double-check for any typos or missing characters.

  2. Incomplete or incorrect form configuration: Another issue could be with the form configuration on your website. Make sure that you have added all the necessary form fields required by Stripe (such as card number, expiration date, and CVC), and that they are correctly linked to the Stripe integration. Verify that the form fields have the correct attributes and that their names match the expected Stripe field names.

  3. Missing or invalid currency: Stripe requires a valid currency to process payments. If you have not specified a currency in your Stripe settings or if the currency code you entered is incorrect, it can result in errors. Double-check your currency configuration and ensure it is properly set.

  4. Integration limitations: Webflow's built-in Stripe integration has certain limitations. For example, it does not support complex payment setups like subscriptions or recurring payments. If you are attempting to configure such advanced features, you may need to consider using custom code or third-party integrations.
