<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the Stripe API in order to initiate a Stripe Checkout session and to receive a Webhook response.</p>
<p>You may specify what information is supplied to Stripe.</p>
<p>The minimum information you must supply is the payment amount.</p>
<p>You may optionally include a Users email, product name and quantity.</p>
<p>Where an email is not supplied, Stripe will require the user to enter an email.</p>
<p>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></p>
<h3>How it Works</h3>
<p>You can initiate a Stripe payment with any of these methods:</p>
<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>
<p>Add to your page using the WordPress block editor.</p>
<h4>Method 2: Use an existing clickable element</h4>
<p>Add a css class to any clickable target element.<br />
eg. Use the page builder of your choice (eg. A Divi Button).</p>
<pre><code>class="mswr-stripe-payment"
</code></pre>
<p>Then add a filter hook to enter/modify your specific payment details.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<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 $args;
});
</code></pre>
<h4>Method 3: Using a shortcode-generated button</h4>
<p>This method requires no php code. You can however, optionally add a php hook (as above) to modify the Stripe parameters and to perform extra actions on the Stripe webhook callback.</p>
<p>Example shortcode:</p>
<pre><code>[mswr_stripe_button amount="1234" currency="usd" email="abc@test.com" product="Sample Product" quantity="2"  success_url="/payment_success" cancelled_url="/payment_cancelled"]
</code></pre>
<h4>Method 4: WP hook</h4>
<p>A developer method.<br />
Use PHP from your code to fire a WordPress ‘action’ which initiates a Stripe Checkout session with the specified Stripe arguments</p>
<p>Action hook: <code>mswr_initiate_stripe_payment</code></p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>$args = [ 'amount' => '12345' ];
add_action( 'mswr_initiate_stripe_payment', $args );
</code></pre>
<p>…</p>
<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>
<p>Shortcode generated Donate Form where the user can select the amount to pay.</p>

WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway


Thanks for the great support experience, the response was within 24 hours and my problem was solved in the first dialog. Cheers!


Fast response and very helpful

After persevering with this plugin over many years, the quality has notably reduced over the past 12 months or so. Several bugs have slipped through the cracks and the developers a missing things. I assume this is due to issues in quality control behind the scenes. Issues on Github remain unfixed after several months, and regression bugs pop up in almost every version.

We've finally jumped ship and started using another author's plugin instead.

Poorly optimized and lack of quality control


I don't know how many times I've spent my afternoon reinstalling and reconfiguring this plugin. It breaks all the time.. Nonce errors, billing_address missing errors (the address is there, in plain sight), and other random errors just keep popping up. I don't want to have to sign in to my own website every day and do a test run of the payment flow, just to make sure that it still works... 


Breaks down every other month


The WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway plugin works smoothly and integrates perfectly with the checkout process. It supports multiple payment methods, is easy to configure, and handles transactions securely. The setup is simple, and the plugin provides reliable performance even on busy stores.



Support documentation is detailed and helpful, making customization easier when needed. Overall, it’s a great solution for accepting online payments through Stripe on WooCommerce.



Highly recommended!


Excellent Payment Gateway with Strong Features and Support

Accept debit and credit cards in 135+ currencies, many local methods like Alipay, ACH, and SEPA, and express checkout with Apple Pay and Google Pay.
