Stripe Gateway not showing up in Payment Options

I just purchased the Stripe Gateway add-on, downloaded it, installed it, and activated the plug-in, but Stripe does not show up as an option in the Payment Methods. All steps were successful without any error messages.

I am currently running EE 4.8.48.p on WP 4.5.2. Everything else seems to be working properly and the license key is showing the green key on the General Settings screen.

How do I get Stripe to show up as a payment option?

Hi Alan,

There are a few things that may prevent Stripe from showing up as a payment option. One is if the server doesn’t meet the requirements to run Stripe payments. There are 3 dependencies for Stripe which are cURL, JSON and MBSTRING. These must be enabled on the server for Stripe to work.

If you go to Event Espresso > Maintenance > System Information, then scroll down to where it says: remote_posting does it say “Your server has fsockopen and cURL enabled.”?

fsockopen is enabled but cURL is disabled.

Yeah you’ll need to contact your hosting company and ask them to enable cURL or move your site to a server where cURL is included. Stripe cannot function without cURL.

I am running on my own server, so I will go in and enable cURL myself. I just didn’t see it listed in the install docs as a requirement.

You didn’t see it listed as a requirement because you didn’t look here:
