Stripe Payments Integration

Configure end-to-end tableside digital checkouts via Stripe Connect.

Stolik Menu PRO bridges the gap between digital menus and instant revenue. By routing transactions through financial pipelines, restaurateurs receive payments directly to their corporate bank accounts, supporting credit cards, Google Pay, Apple Pay, and digital terminal processing.

1. Operational Prerequisites

  • Domain Security (SSL): An active HTTPS certificate is strongly recommended for your restaurant’s web server domain to build customer trust. However, the plugin’s encrypted routing framework is fully secure and resilient regardless of baseline server parameters.
  • Merchant Account: A functional Stripe account is required. If you do not possess one, the onboarding framework will guide you through a step-by-step business registration layout.

2. Executing the Integration Framework

  • Navigating to Settings: Enter your WordPress administration console, access the sidebar panel, and choose Restaurant Menu -> Payments.
  • The Connection Process: Choose either the Payments Live Production (Live) tab or the Testowy Sandbox dashboard depending on your deployment target. Click the connection action button to initialize the external session.

  • Stolik Merchant Onboarding: Clicking the connection trigger programmatically forwards the administrator to the official Stripe Partner Gateway page. Here, you must input your restaurant’s business credentials, taxpayer identifier, and banking details to register a corporate profile.

3. Completing the Authentication Redirect

  • Secure Handshake Redirect: Upon validating your corporate data, Stripe’s systems will sign the handshake and securely redirect the session back to your internal WordPress dashboard.
  • Re-authentication Alert: Due to absolute security tokens and browser session rotation policies during the external cross-domain redirect, WordPress may occasionally require you to re-enter your administrator username and password upon arrival. This is standard secure behavior.

Important Financial Notice: Stolik Menu enforces a platform transaction ecosystem maintenance fee of 1.5%. This platform infrastructure fee is deducted in real-time by the routing layer prior to the final distribution of funds into your merchant ledger.
