Stripe on WHMCS at a glance

WHMCS version
WHMCS 7.0+
Where you install it
WHMCS admin → Apps & Integrations
Coverage
Businesses can register in a defined list of countries, which is far shorter than the list of places Stripe can take a card from. Charging is supported in a wide range of currencies, and the available local payment methods differ per market.

Billing models
One-time checkout and recurring renewals — WHMCS generates both, and the module handles both.
Cost
The module is free and open source. You pay Stripe's own fees, published on their pricing page (opens in new tab). PaymentHood adds nothing on top.

Coverage, currencies and payment methods as published by Stripe, who set and update them. For the current list see Stripe's own documentation (opens in new tab).

Setup

Connect Stripe to WHMCS

Four steps, no code. The full walkthrough with screenshots is in the WHMCS installation guide.

1

Open a Stripe account

Register with Stripe and finish their onboarding. Funds settle from Stripe to your own bank account.

2

Add it in PaymentHood

Paste your Stripe credentials into the PaymentHood dashboard. They stay server-side and never reach your storefront.

3

Install the module

Download the WHMCS module and install it from Apps & Integrations in your WHMCS admin.

4

Enable and test

Paste your PaymentHood API key into the module settings, run a sandbox order end to end, then switch to live.

Why PaymentHood

Rather than a direct Stripe module

A single-provider module works until you need a second provider. These are the parts you would otherwise build and maintain yourself.

Webhook security
Signature on the Stripe-Signature header, verified with the endpoint secret before an order is released
Payment verification
Server-side PaymentIntent status re-check against the Stripe API before fulfilment
Credentials
Restricted secret key, held server-side in PaymentHood and never exposed to the storefront
  • Add a second provider without touching your WHMCS checkout
  • Automatic failover when Stripe is unreachable, instead of a failed order
  • Idempotent charge creation, so a double-submitted order is not a double charge
  • One reconciliation view across every provider you run
  • Free and open source — read the module on GitHub (opens in new tab)
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Stripe onboards businesses from a defined list of countries, which is much shorter than the list of places Stripe can accept a card from. Check your own country of incorporation against Stripe's current list rather than assuming.

If Stripe will be your only provider forever, a direct integration is reasonable. PaymentHood earns its place the moment you need a second one — a local African or MENA provider Stripe does not reach, or a fallback for when Stripe declines — because that becomes a dashboard change instead of a second checkout build.

The methods available to your Stripe account are offered through the same PaymentHood checkout. Which ones you can enable depends on your Stripe account's country and approval status, not on PaymentHood.

No. Stripe bills you directly for its own fees, and PaymentHood takes no percentage and no per-transaction cut at any volume. See PaymentHood pricing.
