Hi – I’m evaluating EE for a client’s needs and am hoping to get an idea of how best to approach set up. 1 If they sign up for a Stripe account, and we use the Stripe integration that comes with EE, my understanding is the processing will all take place directly on the clients’ site – is this correct? I understand that’s the way Stripe is supposed to work, just wanting to clarify that’s the way it’ll work with EE. 2 Presumably I’ll need an SSL for this? 3 The client has a live site that I am rebuilding, so the development will take place firstly on MAMP/localhost, then probably a live dev site. Is there any issue I should be expecting to run into with this? Looking forward to trying this out, thanks for the help. | |
Hi Larry,
The credit card info is taken on your client’s site, but Stripe takes care of the payment processing on their end. I think what you’re asking though is whether the customer stays on the client’s site without going to a 3rd party site, and the answer is yes.
Yes. More information about Strip and SSL can be read here:
That depends on how familiar you are with migrating a WordPress site, including the database. Here is a link to the documentation in the WordPress codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_to_a_New_Server There are also plugins out there that can help assist moving a WordPress site from one server to another, like BackupBuddy and wp-migrate-db. | |
Thanks for your reply Josh. I do a lot of WP work so no probs migrating. The client has agreed to go with Stripe today so this all sounds great. Just wanted to clarify before I committed them to it. | |
