Stripe Payment Method Management allows you to configure which payment options (like credit cards, wallets, bank debits) are available across various GHL Customer Care product areas, directly inside your GHL Customer Care account.

Advanced Payment Method Setup & Troubleshooting

Some payment methods require additional configuration before they become available at checkout. Availability depends on factors such as account verification status, country support, payment method eligibility, and whether you are using Test or Live Mode.

Enabling Digital Wallets

Digital wallet payment methods can provide a faster checkout experience for customers using supported devices and browsers.

Apple Pay

Before Apple Pay can appear during checkout:

  • Your payment account must be fully activated.
  • Domain verification must be completed.
  • Apple Pay must be enabled within your payment provider settings.

To enable Apple Pay:

  • Go to Payments → Integrations.
  • Open your connected payment account.
  • Select Manage Payment Methods.
  • Enable Apple Pay where available.
  • Save your changes.

Google Pay

Google Pay availability depends on supported devices, browsers, and payment account eligibility.

To enable Google Pay:

  • Open Payments → Integrations.
  • Select Manage Payment Methods.
  • Enable Google Pay.
  • Save your settings.

Activating Bank-Based Payment Methods

Bank payment methods may require additional account verification before becoming available.

ACH Payments

ACH payments may only be available in supported regions and for eligible payment accounts.

To enable ACH:

  • Open Payments → Integrations.
  • Select Manage Payment Methods.
  • Enable ACH if available.
  • Save changes.

iDEAL and SEPA

Regional payment methods such as iDEAL and SEPA may only appear when supported by your payment account and customer location.

To enable these methods:

  • Open Payments → Integrations.
  • Select Manage Payment Methods.
  • Enable the desired payment method.
  • Save your settings.

Buy Now, Pay Later Payment Methods

Supported financing and installment payment options may require approval from the payment provider before activation.

Examples may include:

  • Affirm
  • Klarna
  • Afterpay
  • Clearpay

To enable available installment options:

  • Open Payments → Integrations.
  • Select Manage Payment Methods.
  • Enable supported installment payment methods.
  • Save changes.

Switching Between Test Mode and Live Mode

Payment methods can be configured independently for Test and Live environments.

When troubleshooting payment visibility:

  • Verify which mode is currently selected.
  • Confirm the payment method is enabled in the correct environment.
  • Save any changes before testing checkout again.

Stripe Payment Method Settings for Different Product Areas

Managing Stripe payment methods across product areas ensures that your customer-facing interfaces only show relevant payment options. Here’s where your configurations apply:

  • Invoices

  • Invoices with AutoPayments

  • Payment Links

  • Funnels - One-Step Order Form

  • Funnels - Two-Step Order Form

  • Forms

  • E-commerce Stores

  • Calendars

  • Courses

  • Communities

  • Subscriptions

SaaS Configurator-generated checkout links for SaaS subscriptions support card payments only.
  
Other payment methods may be available in Stripe or other GHL Customer Care product areas, but they are excluded for SaaS subscription onboarding.

Each checkout will respect the settings you’ve configured — no more surprises for your customers at checkout!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the transaction fees for Stripe?

Stripe transaction fees vary depending on your country and the type of payment method used. Generally, Stripe charges a percentage of each transaction plus a fixed fee. Because pricing differs by region, you should always refer to Stripe’s official pricing page for the most accurate and up-to-date details.

Q: Why don’t I see the Subscriptions list in GHL Customer Care?

The Subscriptions list only becomes available after you’ve added at least one subscription product in Live Mode within the respective sub-account. This requirement comes directly from Stripe.

Q: What happens if I already have payment methods configured in Stripe?

Your existing settings are preserved. Default payment methods for product areas or checkouts will match your original Stripe setup unless you update them inside GHL Customer Care.

Q: Will Live and Test modes have separate settings?

Yes! You can configure payment methods independently for Live and Test environments, allowing full flexibility during development and production.

Q: Why don’t I see the Subscriptions dropdown?

The Subscriptions settings become available only after adding at least one subscription product in Live Mode in that sub-account, according to Stripe’s rules.

Q: Are these changes applied to all sub-accounts?

Each sub-account connected to Stripe needs to configure its payment methods individually under its Payments settings.

Q: The Checkout and PMC pages do not show BLIK, even though it is active in Stripe. How can I enable it?

BLIK will not appear in our current integration. Stripe determines which payment methods are shown at runtime based on the connected account’s Payment Method Configuration and the checkout context. BLIK is not supported in this flow because it requires immediate PaymentIntent confirmation at checkout, which is not compatible with our deferred payment flow. We do not have plans to change this setup right now, but we regularly review payment method coverage with Stripe to support current use cases.
Q: Why is a payment method enabled but not appearing at checkout?

Payment methods may be hidden due to account restrictions, unsupported checkout types, regional limitations, missing verification requirements, or because they are enabled only in Test Mode instead of Live Mode.
