Accept a payment with Alma

Learn how to setup your integration with Alma.

Caution

Stripe can automatically present the relevant payment methods to your customers by evaluating currency, payment method restrictions, and other parameters.

  • Follow the Accept a payment guide to build a Checkout integration that uses dynamic payment methods.
  • If you don’t want to use dynamic payment methods, follow the steps below to manually configure the payment methods in your Checkout integration.

Alma is a single-use payment method where customers choose to pay between 2, 3, or 4 installments. Customers are redirected from your website or app, authorize the payment with Alma, then return to your website or app. You get immediate notification of whether the payment succeeded or failed.

Determine compatibility

To support Alma payments, a Checkout Session must satisfy all of the following conditions:

  • Prices for all line items must be in the same currency.
    • If you have line items in different currencies, create separate Checkout Sessions for each currency.

Accept a payment

Note

Build an integration to accept a payment with Checkout before using this guide.

This guides you through enabling Alma and shows the differences between accepting payments using dynamic payment methods and manually configuring payment methods.

Enable Alma as a payment method

When creating a new Checkout Session, you need to:

  1. Add alma to the list of payment_method_types.
  2. Make sure all line_items use the same currency.
