Stripe Payment Flow

Stripe enables card payments through the Wava platform. Unlike other gateways, Stripe is not used via the direct API — it is configured through the Wava merchant dashboard and presented to buyers as a payment option in the Wava checkout.

​
How it works

  1. You enable Stripe in your Wava dashboard by connecting your Stripe account.
  2. When a buyer opens a payment link or checkout, Stripe appears as an available payment method alongside digital wallets.
  3. The buyer selects Stripe, enters their card details, and completes the payment.
  4. The order status updates to confirmed and you receive a webhook notification.

​
Setup

Stripe configuration is done entirely through the merchant dashboard. See Stripe Integration for setup instructions.
Stripe payments are available through payment links and the Wava checkout page. They are not available through the direct POST /v1/orders API endpoint.
