<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to the Stripe API in order to initiate a Stripe Checkout session and to receive a Webhook response.

The minimum information you must supply is the payment amount.
You may optionally include a Users email, product name and quantity.
Where an email is not supplied, Stripe will require the user to enter an email.
See also the <a href="https://stripe.com/legal/consumer" rel="nofollow ugc">Stripe Consumer Terms of Service</a> and the <a href="https://stripe.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Stripe Privacy Policy</a>
<h3>How it Works</h3>
You can initiate a Stripe payment with any of these methods:
<ol>
<li>The Gutenberg block element ‘Minimal Stripe Button’</li>
<li>By using any clickable element of your choice (eg. a <button> or <a>) </li>
<li>By using the shortcode-generated button.</li>
<li>By using an action hook. </li>
<li>By using the shortcode-generated donate-form.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Method 1: A Gutenberg block element</h4>
Add to your page using the WordPress block editor.
<h4>Method 2: Use an existing clickable element</h4>
Add a css class to any clickable target element. 
eg. Use the page builder of your choice (eg. A Divi Button).
<pre><code>class="mswr-stripe-payment"
</code></pre>
Then add a filter hook to enter/modify your specific payment details.
For example:
<pre><code>add_filter( 'mswr_pre_stripe_checkout', function( $args ) {

 // add payment details
 $args[ 'amount' ] = $amount; // use the smallest unit of your currency. ie. $123.45 => '12345'
 $args[ 'currency' ] = 'nzd'; // iso 4217 currency code
 $args[ 'email' ] = abc@test.com; // eg. wp_get_current_user()->user_email;
 $args[ 'product' ] = 'Your Product/Service name'; // will appear on the Stripe Checkput page
 $args[ 'user_meta' ] = 'Membership Renewal'; // user-defined tag that can help identify a transaction in the Stripe webhook callback

 return $args;
});
</code></pre>
<h4>Method 3: Using a shortcode-generated button</h4>
This method requires no php code. You can however, optionally add a php hook (as above) to modify the Stripe parameters and to perform extra actions on the Stripe webhook callback.
Example shortcode:
<pre><code>[mswr_stripe_button amount="1234" currency="usd" email="abc@test.com" product="Sample Product" quantity="2" success_url="/payment_success" cancelled_url="/payment_cancelled"]
</code></pre>
<h4>Method 4: WP hook</h4>
A developer method. 
Use PHP from your code to fire a WordPress ‘action’ which initiates a Stripe Checkout session with the specified Stripe arguments
Action hook: <code>mswr_initiate_stripe_payment</code>
Example:
<pre><code>$args = [ 'amount' => '12345' ];
add_action( 'mswr_initiate_stripe_payment', $args );
</code></pre>
…
<h3>Hooks available in Minimal Stripe Wrapper</h3>
<pre><code>1. mswr_initiate_stripe_payment
2. mswr_pre_stripe_checkout
3. mswr_{\$type}
4. mswr_shortcode_html
</code></pre>
<h4>Method 5: Donate Form</h4>
Shortcode generated Donate Form where the user can select the amount to pay.
