Stripe local methods

Use eligible local payment methods in Stripe form checkouts

Local payment methods can reduce friction when buyers expect a regional payment option. Maxforms collects the form details first while Stripe handles the available payment methods based on eligibility.

Why it helps

Cleaner workflows from the first form

Use the right feature deliberately so the form is easier to complete, easier to manage, and easier to connect to the rest of your work.

  • Support region-appropriate payment experiences when Stripe eligibility allows it.
  • Collect form details before sending the buyer through checkout.
  • Keep payment context tied to the submission record.
  • Use Stripe settings to manage which methods can appear.

Workflow

How teams use it

  1. Review the buyer region and currency needs.
  2. Enable eligible methods in Stripe where supported.
  3. Configure the Maxforms payment field.
  4. Test the form with realistic buyer scenarios.
