Why a Stripe payment form
Most "payment form" pages just collect the details and leave you to chase the money. A Stripe-connected form takes a real card payment at submit — into your own Stripe account, with the receipt and payout handled for you.
Connect your own Stripe account once. Every submission charges the card and settles to your Stripe balance — Makeform never touches the money, and there is no separate merchant setup.
Skip building your own integration. Describe the form and Makeform wires up the payment field — no API keys in your codebase, no webhooks to host, no developer needed to go live.
Card numbers are entered in Stripe's own secure fields and go straight to Stripe. Makeform never stores raw card details, so Stripe carries the PCI compliance, not you.
Built for how you get paid
Start from the version closest to what you're charging for, then edit the amounts and fields in the builder.
Take a fixed fee or a project deposit by card, tied to a service package and invoice number, with the receipt emailed automatically.
Suggested amounts plus a custom field, donor details, and an honor-of note — gifts collected straight into your nonprofit's Stripe account.
Ticket types, quantities, and attendee details that total the price and charge the card before the seat is confirmed.
Products, quantities, shipping, and discount codes on one form, with a Stripe payment and an order confirmation at the end.
How it works
Makeform turns a plain-language description into a working Stripe payment form — connected, editable, and ready to share.
Tell Makeform the amount, the fields you need, and what the customer is paying for — a service, a donation, tickets, or an order.
Link your own Stripe account in a couple of clicks so the payment field charges cards and settles funds directly to you.
Set fixed or customer-entered amounts, add conditional questions, and mark the payment field required so no one submits without paying.
Publish a link or embed the form on your site. Each payment sends a receipt, lands in your inbox, and can post to Slack or Google Sheets.
Form vs code vs template
The top results for "stripe payment form" are either developer docs for Stripe Elements and Checkout or a static template. A generated form sits in between — no code, but it actually takes the payment.
Field guide
Looking for a Stripe payment form template? These are the sections that make one actually collect money — generate them as a form, connect Stripe, and the checkout works instead of just looking the part.
Payer & contact
Before the charge, capture who the payment is from and where the receipt should go. An email field is what turns a payment into a record you can reconcile later.
Amount & purpose
The form should make it obvious what is being charged and why. Use a fixed price, a menu of options, or a customer-entered amount for donations and custom quotes.
The Stripe payment field
This is the field that separates a Stripe payment form from a plain contact form. Card details are entered in Stripe's secure fields and the charge runs through your connected account at submit.
Confirmation & records
Once the card clears, the payer needs a receipt and you need a record. Every paid submission is searchable and can flow to the tools you already run your numbers in.

Short answers for anyone setting up a form to take payments through Stripe.
It is a web form that collects a payment by card and processes it through Stripe — usually the amount, some customer details, and a card field that charges at submit. Instead of writing your own Stripe integration, Makeform generates the form and connects it to your Stripe account so it takes real payments.
Yes. Describe what you're charging for, connect your Stripe account, and Makeform builds a form with a working card payment field. You can do it without touching the Stripe Dashboard's developer tools or writing any Checkout or Elements code.
Makeform uses Stripe Connect: you link your own Stripe account, and payments made through the form settle directly into that account. Makeform is an independent form builder and is not Stripe or affiliated with Stripe — it connects to the Stripe account you already control.
Yes. Card numbers are entered into Stripe's own secure payment fields and sent straight to Stripe, never stored by Makeform. Because Stripe handles the card data, Stripe carries the PCI compliance burden rather than you.
Stripe charges its standard processing fee on each payment, which goes to Stripe. Building and publishing the form on Makeform is free, and paid Makeform plans add higher volumes and advanced features. Makeform does not add a per-transaction fee on the free plan beyond what your plan states.
Yes. Publish it as a public link or embed it on your site — including builders like Squarespace, Wix, and WordPress — using the share link or embed code. Anyone who opens it can pay; no login is required to submit.
The Payment Form Generator is the broad tool for any payment form, including ones you reconcile manually. This page is the Stripe-specific cut: it assumes you want a real card charge processed through a connected Stripe account. If you're not sure you'll use Stripe, start from the general payment form.
A template is a static layout you copy — it shows the fields but can't connect to Stripe or charge a card by itself. A generated form is already wired to your Stripe account, so it collects the payment instead of just displaying where a payment would go. Makeform generates the working form, not a document.
At minimum: the payer's name and email, a clear amount or item selection, and a Stripe card payment field. Add quantity, a discount code, a shipping address, or a signed authorization depending on whether you're taking an order, a donation, or a deposit.
Makeform payment forms are best suited to one-time payments, deposits, and orders collected through your connected Stripe account. For full subscription billing, create the recurring price in Stripe and link customers to it — the form handles the one-time and upfront charges.
No. The whole point of a generated Stripe payment form is skipping the developer work. You describe the form, connect Stripe, and share it. The card charge, receipt, and payout are handled without you building an Elements or Checkout integration.
Generating, editing, and publishing the form is free; Stripe's own processing fees still apply to each payment. Makeform is an independent product and is not owned by or affiliated with Stripe — "Stripe" is a trademark of its respective owner, and you connect your own Stripe account to take payments.
Stop collecting details and chasing the payment.
