Adding a Stripe donation button to your WordPress website is easy. First, create a new file in your WordPress theme called Donation.php and add the following code:

=0 && $_POST[‘donation_method’]==’stripe’) { // Use Stripe donation method } } // End if donation_method } // End of Donation.php

Next, open your WordPress admin panel and go to Settings > Payment Options. On the right side of the screen, click on the Add New Payment Method button. In the new window that pops up, enter the following information:

Name: Stripe

Type: Payment Method

URL: https://api.stripe.com/v1/accounts/

Select the Enable 2-factor authentication checkbox and click on the Create button.

After you create your Stripe account, copy the API key and secret from your Stripe account page. You’ll need these values to add your Stripe donation button to your WordPress website.

Now, go back to your Donation.php file and add the following lines of code after the

tags:

set_method(‘stripe’, ‘credit_card’); $stripe_payment->set_currency(‘usd’); // Create a charge object $charge = new StripeCharge(); // Set the charge amount $charge->set_amount($donation_amount); // Set the charge date $charge->set_date(‘date_time’); // Add the charge to the Stripe payment object $stripe_payment->add_charge($charge); // Print the payment information $stripe_payment->print_info(); // Close the Stripe payment object $stripe_payment->close(); // End of Donation.php

In the above code, you first get the donation amount from the form. You then create a Stripe payment object and set the payment method and currency.

You also create a charge object and set the charge amount and the charge date. Finally, you add the charge to the Stripe payment object and print the payment information.

Now, you’re ready to add the donation button to your website. To do this, first go to your WordPress site’s admin panel and click on the Appearance > Widgets menu item.

On the sidebar that appears, click on the Add New Widget button. In the new window that pops up, enter the following information:.

Name: Donation Button

Widget Type: Custom HTML

Widget Area: Footer

In the Custom HTML field, paste the following code into the textarea:

Now, you’re done! You can now add a donation button to your website’s footer and let your visitors donate to your cause easily.
