Stripe is a popular and powerful online payment processor that shops can use to process customer credit card payments. While shoppers will pay for their orders from their account page or your mobile app, payments run through Stripe—CommentSold does not hold any of these funds.

You'll need to create a Stripe account before you can connect it to CommentSold. Create your Stripe account here.

Stripe is one of several payment gateways you can connect to CommentSold. Learn about other available payment gateways here.

  Note: You cannot have Stripe and Square enabled at the same time. You must choose one or the other to connect to your CommentSold Account.

How Stripe Benefits Your Shop


  • Enable CommentSold features like Comment Charge and Waitlist Authorization.
  • Create a payment experience within your webstore and/or mobile app so shoppers aren't redirected elsewhere to enter payment details.
