WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway

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.

1279 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 1151 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

   They solved a problem that my company was dealing with that had been a huge issue for 6 months. I was at my wits in. They walked me through every possible scenario that could be causing the glitch and helped me fix it. They are the best and I cannot thank them enough. They really know what they are doing!

   Two latest updates have been a disaster. The Adaptive Checkout got turned on AUTOMATICALLY adding the the payment options which haven’t even been activated by Stripe itself. As a result, customers try paying, they don’t work, we lose both money and customers. The support’s solution was to just turn it off, that’s all. And now, the plugin got updated AGAIN, and even though the Adaptive Checkout is turned OFF, strange payment options are shown on the checkout. Total disaster. I even disconnected the Adaptive Pricing at the Stripe dashboard – no use. These guys have seriously f…ed up our launch, and don’t seem to actually do anything about it.

   Problème sur la page de paiement. Mes échanges avec le support ont été rapides et efficaces, de vraies réponses, bien détaillées, et pertinentes car une véritable écoute. Le problème ne venait finalement pas du plugin lui-même mais du thème Divi et pourtant, vous avez trouvé la solution !! Merci de votre aide !

   On a website with last WooCommerce version + WordPress7 + last version of the plugin 10.8.1 connection is good, webhook too, but successfull payment won’t return to woocommerce command wich becomes “canceled”. It seems the plugin (the only payment plugin installed) force “Clover” mode.De-installed and installed 7.4.1 version, entered API keys with copy/paste and all is getting OK with command status.It seems that I’m not the only one having this pb.

   First ever payment after launch, Bancontact crashes Woo, then I get reports of Chrome not displaying the Stripe modal, endless spinner. The 2 things we wanted the most; Bancontact, because we’re a Belgian store, and Adaptive pricing, because we sell to other non-Euro countries too, are now off or the site breaks. Days of painful trouble shooting, turns it both problems are 100% squarely on this plugin. I am not amused. Edit: Bumped the stars to 3, because they are very willing to help fix. Still, it was/is very embarrassing when you can’t offer the payment methods you planned to offer. Last time I checked, there are about 15 million Bancontact cards in circulation, so offering that as a Belgian store should be a no-brainer. Same goes for currencies when you ultimately have a worldwide customer base. This topic was modified 1 month, 1 week ago by Sean. This topic was modified 1 month, 1 week ago by Sean.

   There was a problem, but together WooCommerce and Stripe very quickly resolved the problem in less than 24 hours. Thank you for your cooperation and quick response.

   I contacted woocommerce support when I had issues with link payments in the stripe plugin not working correctly and was getting reports of multiple failed payments at checkout. Woocommerce support found the issue almost immediately, kept me notified along the way, found a solution to the problem and had it implemented that day. My third time contacting support for various of my clients stores and every time I’ve found them to be professional, knowledgable and got my clients’ sites working promptly.

   Awful plugin, just awful. The link payment button keeps reappearing on the product and checkout pages, even if it is disabled in the Stripe Dashboard and Woocommerce. They fix this issue in the past, only for it to resurface from time to time (like now). It’s incredible.
