Linking Stripe With Your WordPress Site

Open WPForms settings from the left drop-down menu of your WordPress site.

Choose the payments tab in which you can determine the currency in which you would like to carry out the transactions.

You can add any number of fields based on the details you would like to collect to make the transaction and sales.

Check the box adjacent to ‘Subscriptions’ upon which additional settings will appear.

Fill in the details and your recurring payment is all ready to roll out.
