High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.9.40, well behind 6.8.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

If this plugin came with Email Notifications it would be SUPER..

If you are hitting the bug in the latest version, just change the call to “sprint_f” to “sprintf” in the wp-stripe/includes/stripe-functions.php file. That got me going.

Don’t think you will get any support with this plugin. There is a bug in the plugin itself and I had nobody to assist me over last few weeks. Try different plugin.

The plugin was working great… now it’s unresponsive and buggy and no developers are chiming in. most of us are being ignored. download if you have patience.

Maybe a great plugin but since it doesn’t support all currencies supported by Stripe, it’s useless if you need another currency … otherwise, the plugin is fine and it’s great to see that it is again under active development! 🙂
