How do I integrate Stripe with my ecommerce platform?

Topic summary

Integrating Stripe with a Shopify store to enable live payments at checkout. Stripe confirmed the account is active and ready, and directed the user to Shopify for the integration issue.

Recent updates:

  • Storefront password was removed to make the site live.
  • Checkout shows a message that the website cannot process real payments.
  • Brief confirmations (“of course”, “yes”) likely respond to clarification requests.

Impact: Launch is blocked; the site cannot open for sales despite the user completing setup on their side.

Central artifact: A checkout screenshot is provided and appears essential to understanding the “cannot do real payments” message.

Status: Unresolved/ongoing. Key questions remain about why Shopify’s checkout isn’t allowing real payments and what integration steps or settings are needed within Shopify.

Requested outcome: Guidance from Shopify on enabling Stripe integration and removing the checkout restriction to accept real payments.
