Connect to Stripe
Updated over a week ago


Stripe will enable you to accept credit cards and debit cards. Before you connect it to Uscreen, you will need to be approved by Stripe and register on its website. Start the process by going to its Register page. After being approved, return to Uscreen to connect your site to your Stripe account.

Connecting Stripe

To connect it, navigate to Settings then click on Payment Providers. Then find the Stripe option and click on Connect account.

After you have created your account and have been approved, insert the email that you used to register with Stripe and finish connecting it to its platform.


Checking your storefront currency

Depending on your home country, Stripe may limit what currency you're able to process transactions in. Please double-check with Stripe as to what currency you are able to process payments in.

You'll then need to check your storefront settings here and set the currency before taking your first payment. Once you run 1 transaction through your Uscreen storefront, you will be locked into that currency.

NOTE: This is an extremely important step that you do not want to skip.

  • Visa

  • Mastercard

  • American Express

  • Discover

What to Do if Stripe Declines Your Account?

Sometimes Stripe will decline accounts due to the content they serve. Sometimes though, they get it wrong and it's not easy to dispute. Many times their decisions on whether to allow content on their platform is final.

Don't worry, we've got other payment providers you can work with. Authorize.net is a great option and provides you the same flexibility in receiving payments as Stripe does.

If you are considering connecting to Authorize.net, you must connect a fresh/empty account. Accounts with existing user payment information may present a problem for your site, so we require a brand new account before connecting to Uscreen.

NOTE: When using Authorize.net as your payment provider, the Gift Card feature won't be available.
