Stripe Connect - Main site configuration and sandbox

Stripe Connect Vendor configuration

Stripe Connect allows your site to receive payments on behalf of registered vendors (i.e. using JTicketing, JGive or Quick2Cart v.3+ from TechJoomla) and keep a fee for your main account.

The Stripe Plugin, Stripe Connect Plugin, Stripe Button Plugin and Stripe Editor Button Plugin all follow the same roadmap, but some updates only apply to a specific plugin, so the latest available version may be different.

A detailed changelog is available in the ./plugins/payment/stripe/README.php file.

This article is but a narrow list of the many security measures both Stripe and we adopted in order to make your experience the most secure.

The Stripe Plugins rely on the Joomla Language translation files, so you can customise any text.

Localise the Stripe Button

For example, when you are using text mode the Stripe Button appears like this:

to clearly indicate if the current Vendor is using Connect or not. When you go live, the text changes to "Pay 52.50€".

If you want to change it instead to "Pay EUR 52.50", different strings for test and live modes are available:

STRIPE_PAY_NOW = "Pay %AMOUNT%"  // the site is Live
STRIPE_PAY_NOW_BASIC = "Pay %AMOUNT% (Basic Stripe)" // the site is in test mode and normal Stripe is used
STRIPE_PAY_NOW_CONNECT = "Pay %AMOUNT% (Stripe Connect)" // the site is in test mode and Stripe Connect is used

You can use the following tokens to change the button text to your liking:

        %AMOUNT% => let me decide i.e. 30,50€    $ 20.00     £15,15
        %TOTAL%  => the price i.e. 30,20   22,00 (will use the correct decimal separator based on your location)
        %CURRENCYSYMBOL% => €  $  £ supported.
        %CURRENCY% => the value passed by the techjoomla component e.g. EUR GBP USD

To continue the example above, the following:

STRIPE_PAY_NOW = "Pay %CURRENCY% %TOTAL%"

should be inserted in Joomla Language overrides.

How to use the Joomla Language Overrides

1. Open the Joomla Language Overrides

2. Choose Language and "site"

3. Create a New override (Press the green New button in the top-left corner)

4. Search for the string (make sure you select "Search For Constant":

5. Click on the item you wish to change, the first in the search results

6. Edit the string on the left

7. Press save and test:

Joomla Language Overrides: how to change the text you see

When you don't know the name of the language constant you can use the above search function to search for text. Exclude any numbers from your search or search for a part of the text if the search does not find it.

How to change the email text

The second most requested customisation is the email text.

Make sure you select "Search for Value" and input some text from the email.

Here you can use the following tokens:

• %STRIPE_CUSTOMER_NAME%
• %STRIPE_ITEM_LINE% the item description
• %STRIPE_PAYMENT_MESSAGE% i.e. The payment is confirmed or pending i.e. one of the two language strings:STRIPE_PAYMENT_FAILED STRIPE_PAYMENT_SUCCESS_UNPAID or STRIPE_PAYMENT_SUCCESS_PAID
• %STRIPE_PAYMENT_STATUS% as returned from Stripe i.e. "paid", "unpaid", the latter meaning that the payment is pending, which is absolutely normal for Bank payments.
• %STRIPE_PURCHASE_DATE%
• %STRIPE_CUSTOMER_IP% the IP address of the customer

Additionally, you may want to change the other mail strings:

• STRIPE_MAIL_SUBJECT
• STRIPE_MAIL_SENDER

Other translation strings

Use the method outlined above to find the text you wish to change. Most are simple texts without tokens, and tokens are usually named in a sensible fashion. If in doubt, contact us.

Please follow these instructions, otherwise nothing will work!

This page showcases some of the codes you can use to generate a Stripe button: Simply insert the codes below in any article or module. If you still see your code instead of the button, ensure you have real " characters and not the typographical one (simply type it yourself in the editor in code mode).

1. Buy me a beer, euro:

{stripe-button amount="5.25" currency="EUR" description="buy you a beer"}

Pay 5.25€ (Basic Stripe)

2. Buy me a computer, USD:

{stripe-button amount="1000" currency="USD" description="buy you a computer"}

Pay $ 1,000.00 (Basic Stripe)

3. Send me a variable amount, in EURO:

{stripe-button currency="EUR" description="buy you a house"}

4. send me to a new page after payment:

{stripe-button  amount="155" currency="EUR"" returnUrl="https://www.fasterjoomla.com/stripe-thank-you" description="Lightsaber"}

Pay 155.00€ (Basic Stripe)

The Stripe Button plugin is a free addon to our (commercial) Stripe Payment plugin, and it allows to use a Stripe account to accept payments on your website with no extra components.

Quick2Cart è una eccellente soluzione e-commerce multivendor.  Alcune caratteristiche devono ancora essere introdotte, ma l'architettura è un ottimo Joomla! MVC, il che ci permette di integrarla ed estenderla fino ad ottenere il risultato richiesto dal cliente.
