Credit Card Payments Now Powered by Stripe

As of October 9, 2024, Adafruit has transitioned to using Stripe for all credit card payment processing. This change enhances security, expands accepted payment options, and offers new features for a smoother checkout experience. Customers will need to enter their credit card details to create a new saved card or update their existing payment information in their Adafruit account. AdaBox subscribers, however, don’t need to take any action at this time—your payment information remains securely stored.

There are two ways to save a payment method to your Adafruit account. You can save a payment during the checkout process or by updating your Payment Methods in your Account Settings.

How to save a payment method to your account during checkout. 

Log in to your Adafruit account. Next, add all the items you need to your cart and then visit checkout. At the payment step, you will see Credit Card (Stripe) as an option. Select that.

Enter your credit card details. Make sure to check the box Save this payment method for future orders. Finish checkout and you will see the success page.

Next, visit My Account Settings > Payment Methods to confirm you are seeing the payment method you just saved.

From this page you can make this payment method the Default, Edit the address associated with the payment method, or Delete this saved payment method

On the Payment Methods page in your Account Settings, you can also save a new Payment Method. 

Select the Enter New Credit Card button. On the next page, enter the billing address by either selecting an existing saved address or scrolling to the bottom of the dropdown menu and selecting New Address.

On the following page, enter card details. Please make sure your card details are valid or you will see the following error:

After you've entered your valid CC details, select Save New Card. Next, visit My Account Settings > Payment Methods to confirm you are seeing the payment method you just saved.

Once you have at least one Stripe saved payment method on your account, you can check out using that saved payment. Simply, add items to your cart and proceed through checkout. At the payment step, you will see the option to use the saved payment method. For example:

Select Save & Continue and, on Step 5, select Submit Order.

To edit a payment method you've saved to your Adafruit account, go to My Account > Payment Methods and select Edit.

On the edit page, you can change the address that's linked to the credit card. Select the dropdown menu and choose an address from your address book or select New Address to enter a new address manually. 

Next, scroll down to the bottom and select Save Credit Card.
