<a href="https://developer.woocommerce.com/2023/10/03/the-legacy-rest-api-will-move-to-a-dedicated-extension-in-woocommerce-9-0/" rel="nofollow ugc">The Legacy REST API will no longer part of WooCommerce as of version 9.0</a>. This plugin restores the full functionality of the removed Legacy REST API code in WooCommerce 9.0 and later versions.
For all intents and purposes, having this plugin installed and active in WooCommerce 9.0 and newer versions is equivalent to enabling the Legacy REST API in WooCommerce 8.9 and older versions (via WooCommerce – Settings – Advanced – Legacy API). All the endpoints work the same way, and existing user keys also continue working.
On the other hand, installing this plugin together with WooCommerce 8.9 or an older version is safe: the plugin detects that the Legacy REST API is still part of WooCommerce and doesn’t initialize itself as to not interfere with the built-in code.
Please note that the Legacy REST API is not compatible with <a href="https://woocommerce.com/document/high-performance-order-storage/" rel="nofollow ugc">High-Performance Order Storage</a>. Upgrading the code that relies on the Legacy REST API to use the current WooCommerce REST API instead is highly recommended.

Deliver a localized payment experience with out-of-the-box support for localized error messages, right-to-left languages, and automatic adjustment of input fields based on payment method and country.</li>

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


This plugin gets worse with each release. Features are stripped, hooks break, and now it is impossible to disable the "Link by Stripe" express checkout. Uncheck the option, hit save, refresh and the box is checked. I'm honestly not sure whether this is just routine incompetence or a way to shift people from Strip to WooPayments.


Wore with each release

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.
