Using Stripe with ClickFunnels requires integration through Payments AI. In this article, we’ll explain how to connect Stripe with ClickFunnels, how Payments AI enables payment routing, and how you can make use of multiple payment gateways effectively.
Requirements
An active ClickFunnels account
A verified Stripe account linked within Payments AI
Connecting Stripe Through Payments AI
ClickFunnels does not directly connect to Stripe; instead, it integrates with Stripe via Payments AI. To use Stripe in your ClickFunnels workspace, you must first link your Stripe account within Payments AI.
To learn how to connect Stripe to Payments AI, please refer to this Payments AI guide: Getting Started - Connecting Stripe.
Once Stripe is connected and the status shows CONNECTED in Payments AI, ClickFunnels can begin processing payments using Stripe for all your funnels and store products.
Using Payment Gateway Routing Rules in Payments AI
Payments AI provides a feature called Gateway Automation Rules, allowing you to route transactions through different payment gateways based on customized conditions. If you have multiple payment gateways connected, such as Payments AI and Stripe, you can set specific rules to determine which gateway should process each payment.
For example, you could route some transactions through Payments AI while directing others to Stripe. Suppose you want to split the load evenly—50% of all transactions could be routed through Payments AI, while the remaining 50% are handled by Stripe. Alternatively, you might prefer that payments from certain geographic locations are processed exclusively by Stripe, while others are handled by Payments AI.
For a detailed guide on setting up these rules, please refer to the Payments AI documentation: Setting Up Payment Gateway Routing Rules.
