Article summary

What Is Stripe Payment Intents ?

Stripe Payment Intents is a SCA-compliant card payment providers that lets customers located in the European Economic Area (EEA) pay for their invoices. Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) is a legal requirement in the EEA as part of the Revised Payment Services Directive (PSD2). This includes a two-factor authentication for online payments across Europe to help reduce the incidence of payer fraud.

Your online card transactions must be SCA-compliant if your business payment provider and your customer's payment provider are both located within the European Economic Area. If only one party is located in the EEA, the directive remains to show one's 'best efforts' to implement SCA.

What You Need to Integrate Stripe Payment Intents

An Active Stripe account

If you don't have a Stripe account yet, we recommend you create your account via their website or get in touch with their sales team via their contact form.

Make sure your account is fully active and not in Test Data mode before getting started.

If you see a Test Data banner at the top of the page and your secret key has a Reveal test key button, your Stripe account isn't ready for the integration.

Add the necessary business and bank details to your Stripe account to activate it before moving to the next step. You'll know your account is live when the Test Data banner doesn't appear at the top of the API Keys page anymore.

If you complete the integration using your test details instead of your active (live) details, you won't be able to successfully process and collect payments using Stripe.

A File to Temporarily Store Information

You will need some of the information collected in step one and two during the third step of the integration process. To make sure you have this information readily available when you'll need it, open a document in any word processing tool such such as Google Docs, Word, Notepad or Notes. You'll be able to copy and paste information in that file and store it until you've completed the integration.
