Payment Gateway of Stripe for WooCommerce

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

355 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 287 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 43 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 8K.

   I’ve been using this plugin for a while now. It’s a great solution. I had an issue with OAUTH 2.0 authentication on my end, and the support team helped resolve it very quickly. Thank you!

   4 months of back and forth with support tickets and useless time wasting. Half of my orders have something wrong with it because of this dumb plugin. Thousands of lines of code so complicated that I can’t figure anything out to fork it and fix things myself. And apparently they made it so hard to work with that they can’t figure it out themselves either. The absolutely inability to resolve any issues from their support nerds is appalling and a waste of everyone’s time. And what’s worse. It’s the only one that barely works… So I can’t even switch to another plugin.

   Payments with card and local are active but keep sending errors when trying to pay (No API key provided. (HINT: set your API key using “Stripe::setApiKey()”). It’s very hard and frustrating to configure. It was a lost of time to try to implement this plugin. This topic was modified 1 year, 5 months ago by jncarlosrod.

   iDeal, for me the most important component of the plugin, does not work. It sends API requests to Stripe by the dozen per hour, but not when my customers need one. And if it does, it changes so fast the order bounces as failed in my system. On the other side it does not trigger email notifications for me as website owner, so how can I trust it sends email to customers? I lost a lot of money using this plugin, but since there is no better option for me, I had to switch off iDeal in the hope they fix it, I send numerous error logs, but so far they cannot solve it. I get different error messages every time, Some are mentioned here as wel, and if I do get any at all!! Because sometimes I do not even get one, and most payments don’t even make it to the Stripe Dashboard. It is like Russian Roulette, sometimes it works, most times it does not. Other payments options seem work good, only iDeal does not work. Most of my cleintes pay per iDeal so I am in trouble. When I try the Stripe checkout it does not even show on the checkout page, so something is wrong when it comes to iDeal on every action of this plugin. I have tried their other plugin, and tried iDeal through Paypal and it is the same story, the payment for iDeal does not show for customers, and those instructions don’t even resemble by far how the dashboard looks, and fields for webhooks and buttons are missing, and again iDeal is not working. I use Classispress and Classis Woocommerce. But that should not matter since they claim compatibility. It is pure a problem in de plugin with the Api requests.

   It looks like some time ago webtoffee sold this plugin to themehigh… It got worse. After installing themehigh application in stripe we are redirected to page where they state that we need to purchase premium in order to connect our webiste to stripe, which is not true: Get started Thank you for installing the ThemeHigh App. With this app, you can set up the Stripe payment gateway in WordPress/WooCommerce installations to accept payments for your eCommerce website. This app requires the premium version of the WooCommerce Stripe Payment Plugin by ThemeHigh to be installed and activated on your WooCommerce store. Once you have your plugin activated in your WordPress dashboard, go to the General Settings of the ThemeHigh Stripe plugin and click on the Connect to ThemeHigh App button. Follow the onscreen instructions, review the permissions and click “Install app. Once the connection is established, it will pass ThemeHigh keys to API server and connection with ThemeHigh Stripe App would be established. Support If you need any assistance with the ThemeHigh App or WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway plugin, please reach out to our support team.

   We did not have sales for 2 weeks and could not figure out why. It turns out if you’re a customer using real life data, you get this error:No API key provided. (HINT: set your API key using “Stripe::setApiKey()”. You can generate API keys from the Stripe web interface. See -stripe api- for details, or email [email protected] if you have any questions.Even when it worked fine before and no changes were made and everything in the dashboard said Connected. Immediately uninstalled the plugin and used another.

   A++ customer support. I have been using the Stripe free plugin version to start with and had a few issues to resolve. WebTofee customer support were extremely responsive to my issues even though I had not paid for the pro version and ensured they were resolved. They also followed up to ensure the solution I ended up with was acceptable. Based on this experience I then proceeded to install their plugin for my PayPal gateway as well. Will continue to look at other plugins they produce and would not hesitate to support them.
