WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway

Description

Changing consumer behavior has resulted in an explosion of payment methods and experiences, which are great for increasing conversion and lowering costs—but can be difficult for businesses to maintain. Give customers a best-in-class checkout experience while you remain focused on your core business. This is the official plugin created by Stripe and WooCommerce.

The enhanced checkout experience from Stripe can help customers:

  • Boost conversion: Provide an optimal experience across mobile, tablet, and desktop with a responsive checkout, and offer 23 payment methods, including Link, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, out of the box.

  • Meet existing customer demand and localize the experience: Offer local payment methods, such as Bancontact, Boleto, Cash App Pay, EPS, giropay, iDEAL, Multibanco, OXXO, Przelewy 24, and SEPA Direct Debit.
  • Fight fraud: Detect and prevent fraud with Stripe Radar, which offers seamlessly integrated, powerful fraud-detection tools that use machine learning to detect and flag potentially fraudulent transactions.

My website was getting errors for a full day after a server upgrade and it turns out it was this plugin! Sitting for hours on the phone with a developer trying to figure out which plugin was the issue and causing 500/502 errors everywhere and as soon as we activated this plugin again it broke, deactivated it and everything worked perfectly…except now we need a new payment gateway.

Frequent new bugs appear with nearly every update, often resurfacing recurring issues, like the duplicate issue (duplicate orders, emails, notes etc.), which repeatedly impacts one of the most critical parts of the website—the checkout process.
