Its <a href=\"https:\/\/stripe.com\/connect\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stripe Connect<\/a> integration is the fastest and easiest way to bring Stripe\u2019s payment functionality into your site or online marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By deeply integrating Stripe with WP Engine\u2019s platform, our teams have eliminated the need to download and manage additional plugins or pay for costly add-ons to complete payment processing\u2014Stripe Connect is so embedded into the WP Engine eCommerce experience that it\u2019s preconfigured to work seamlessly without requiring technical expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WP Engine\u2019s Stripe Connect Capabilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Stripe Connect integration has supercharged eCommerce experiences for sellers on WP Engine. \u200b\u200bIt minimizes user error thanks to a fully connected onboarding experience, supports transactions in more than 35 countries and 14 languages, and accepts payments from more than 180 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stripe Connect truly facilitates a globalized eCommerce experience, accepting more than 130 presentment currencies (the currency your customer pays with) and 15+ settlement currencies (the currency you as the seller are paid out in).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our eCommerce integration makes activation and setup a seamless part of both spinning up a new site or migrating an existing store.
