No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    The plugin has worked seamlessly for our NFP organization for a couple of years now. Easy to set up, easy to maintain. Thoroughly recommended!

    Really easy to set up and works smoothly for taking payments. I like that I can manage everything right from my WordPress dashboard without extra hassle.

    I have been using Accept Stripe Payments for years now and it has been reliable and one of the better ways to integrate a payment system on a WordPress site. Intuitive interface design and clearly marked area’s to adjust import details (like adding ReCaptcha) make it a breeze to use.

    Easy to use and set up, even for a techno-neophyte like me. The payments come without issue and the commission is documented in monthly statements.

    So far I like the functionality of the plugin. It is easy to install and use, has a few interesting options like the shortcode, change button name, direct link and it would be even more astonishing if it had some sort of options to change/edit its overall display on product page. It would be wonderful if the settings would allow shortcodes for each element from the product page to be edited for example a shortcode for thumbnail… We all know that presentation of a product is half sold if it is presented in a eye-catchy way so a thumbnail which is literally the size of a thumbnail is not exactly helping. Position of the presentation image using flex maybe would be nice either column or row for bigger screen resolution. The description of the product is another section of the presentation of the product which (in my opinion) should be focus point. And in combination with the product image presentation sell the product. It is true, there’s is not much to “enhance” here because we use the default build in editor and anything goes in there… but the position as previously mentioned (column/row) would of do the trick. The button… here’s another shortcode… or at least the option to choose where to display the button.Right now it is visible at the end of the product description… Would be helpful if we could add a shortcode for the button anywhere… thus in part, it is possible right now, via de link option provided to which we can add a class to look like a button. Anyway, these are my… humble yet powerful suggestions which might end up in converting some free users of the plugin into customers. Who knows…PS: I am using the plugin “teamed up” with other 2 plugins (wp Coder and Site Reviews) to basically have the description of the product in Stripe Plugin in a shortcode, the product presentation image in a separate code, the buy button in a separate code, product reviews in another code and play with all these elements in a single product page.

    Thanks for this one. I love that it has so many options and features to play with. I tested a few stand-alone Stripe Payment plugins, and this was the best by far.

    The plugin itself is okay, but their policy about updates is wrong. Basically, if you want to get updates of their paid plugins, you have to pay annually. The usual policy for other paid plugins is you pay once and get free updates indefinitely, only support is paid. Imagine this situation: you have paid for a plugin, one year elapses and a security issue or another bug is found. And you are forced to pay because of their bug/security hole. I have another complaint – they are not polite to customers. They reply in angry, accusative manner to emails when you state your discontent.
