Stripe Configuration

Connect your Listivo site to Stripe: copy the API keys into the Listivo Panel, register the webhook endpoint Listivo gives you, and paste the signing secret back so subscription payments are reported to your site.

2 minute read

If you want to use subscriptions, you have to enable them and add Stripe credentials. You add them in Listivo Panel > Monetization > Stripe.

The screenshots use test mode
The Stripe screens below are in test mode. Only use it if you are testing the process on your website.
  1. 1 Sign in to Stripe

    Sign in to your account on stripe.com or create a new account if you don't have one.

    The stripe.com home page headed "Payments infrastructure for the internet", with a green arrow pointing at the "Sign in" button in the top-right corner.
  2. 2 Open the Developers tab

    To get the API key, go to the developers tab.

    Stripe Developers > API keys in test mode, with green arrows on the Developers button, the API keys tab and the blurred Publishable key and Secret key rows under Standard keys.
  3. 3 Copy the API keys into Listivo

    Rewrite the publishable key and the secret key to Listivo Panel > Monetization > Stripe.

    Listivo Panel > Monetization > Stripe with Enabled ticked and arrows pointing from the Stripe tab to the Publishable Key and Secret Key fields; the webhook endpoint URL is printed below them.
  4. 4 Add a webhook endpoint

    To get the webhook secret, go to the webhook tab and add an endpoint.

    Stripe Developers > Webhooks page listing blurred hosted endpoints, with a green arrow pointing at the "+ Add endpoint" button.
  5. 5 Copy the endpoint URL from Listivo

    Copy the endpoint URL from wp-admin > Listivo Panel > Monetization > Stripe…

    Listivo Panel > Monetization > Stripe with the Publishable Key filled in as pk_test_… and a green arrow pointing at the webhook endpoint URL printed under the Webhook secret field.
  6. 6 Paste it into the Stripe dialog

    … and paste the endpoint URL into the "add endpoint" window. You can add your own description.

    Stripe's "Listen to Stripe events" dialog with the empty Endpoint URL field highlighted, a Description box, "Events on your account" selected, and the "Select events" link and Add endpoint button below.
  7. 7 Select the events to listen to

    You have to select three of them: checkout.session.completed, invoice.paid and invoice.payment_failed.

    Stripe's "Select events to listen to" box with three chips — checkout.session.completed, invoice.paid and invoice.payment_failed — above a "Change events" link.
  8. 8 Click "Add endpoint"
  9. 9 Reveal the signing secret

    You just created the webhook for your website. Now you have to add one more piece of data to the Listivo settings: go to your webhook and "reveal" the signing secret.

    Stripe webhook detail page with Status Enabled, "Listening for 3 events" and a green arrow pointing at the Reveal link under Signing secret; the endpoint URL is blurred.
  10. 10 Copy the signing secret Stripe webhook page for the wp-admin/admin-post.php endpoint, API version 2022-11-15, with the Signing secret box highlighted and an invoice.paid event listed under Today.
  11. 11 Save it as the Webhook secret

    Paste the signing secret into wp-admin > Listivo Panel > Monetization > Stripe > field Webhook secret and save changes.

    Listivo Panel > Monetization > Stripe with green arrows pointing at the Stripe tab, the Webhook secret field and the Save Changes button.

Done! Now you can create subscriptions for your users.
