In this step-by-step tutorial, Dustin from the Gravity Forms team answers:

Q: How do I install and set up Gravity Forms with the Stripe Add-On?
A: Install both Gravity Forms and the Stripe Add-On, then connect your Stripe account to your WordPress site through the integration settings.

Q: Can I accept both one-time and recurring donations?
A: Yes. Create a form that includes donation frequency options, allowing donors to choose between a one-time payment or a monthly subscription.

Q: What if donors want to dedicate their gift “In Honor Of” a pet?
A: Add a custom field to your form for dedications so donors can specify a person or pet’s name, which can be included in thank-you messages.

Q: How do I make payments more secure?
A: Enable Stripe’s Address Verification (AVS) to match the donor’s billing address with the card issuer’s records, reducing the risk of fraud.

Q: Can donors use digital wallets like Apple Pay or Google Pay?
A: Yes. Activate these options in your Stripe dashboard along with Stripe Link to offer faster, more convenient checkout experiences.

Q: How do I control which donation option triggers which Stripe feed?
A: Use conditional logic in your form’s Stripe feed settings so one-time donations are processed as Products and Services, and monthly donations as Subscriptions.

Q: How can I make thank-you messages more personal?
A: Create two confirmation message templates—one for standard donations and one that includes the dedication details from the form.

Q: How do I test my form before going live?
A: Switch Stripe to Test Mode, submit sample donations to verify all settings work correctly, then change to Live Mode once confirmed.
