International cards through Stripe

The Stripe row of the Online payment gateways table is for merchants whose company is registered outside Algeria and who connect their own Stripe account.

Buyers see the tile International card Visa / Mastercard and pay on a secure payment page, in dinars (DZD). The money lands in your own Stripe account.

Create a restricted key

1. In your Stripe dashboard, open API keys and press Create restricted key.
2. Give it exactly these permissions: Checkout Sessions: Write, Webhook Endpoints: Write, Balance: Read. Leave the others off.
3. Create the key and copy it. A live key starts with rk_live_, a test key with rk_test_.

Connect it

1. Open Settings › Payment methods and press Connect account on the Stripe row (market: Outside Algeria).
2. Paste the key and press Test and connect.

If the test says the key works but Stripe could not set up the notifications, add the Webhook Endpoints: Write permission to the key and test again.

The mode follows the key: a rk_test_ key stays in test mode and is never offered to buyers. Test with it if you want, then choose Switch to live mode in the row's menu, paste your rk_live_ key and test again.

Switch it on for buyers

After a successful live test, turn on For customers and pick the pages: Cart, Fast checkout, Landing pages.

Good to know

• Stripe takes its fees from what you receive; your rates are in your Stripe account.
• When you edit the key, the window shows only its last four characters. Leave the field empty to keep the current key.
• Refunds are made in your Stripe dashboard. See Refunds.
• Disconnect account asks you to confirm, stops card payment and removes the key; you paste it again to reconnect.
• Only the store owner can paste or change the key.
