## Description

Changing consumer behavior has resulted in an explosion of payment methods and experiences,
which are great for increasing conversion and lowering costs—but can be difficult
for businesses to maintain. Give customers a best-in-class checkout experience while
you remain focused on your core business. This is the official plugin created by
Stripe and WooCommerce.

#### Drive 11.9% in revenue with an optimized checkout experience from Stripe

The enhanced checkout experience from Stripe can help customers:

 * **Boost conversion:** Provide an optimal experience across mobile, tablet, and
   desktop with a responsive checkout, and offer 23 payment methods, including [Link](https://stripe.com/payments/link),
   [Apple Pay](https://woocommerce.com/apple-pay/), and [Google Pay](https://www.google.com/payments/solutions/),
   out of the box.
 * **Expand your customer base:** Convert customers who might otherwise abandon 
   their cart with buy now, pay later methods like Klarna, Affirm, and Afterpay/
   Clearpay, wallets like Apple Pay, Google Pay, Alipay, and WeChat Pay, and local
   payment methods such as Bancontact in Europe and Alipay in Asia Pacific. 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.
 * **Meet existing customer demand and localize the experience:** Offer [local payment methods](https://stripe.com/guides/payment-methods-guide),
   such as ACH Direct Debit, Bacs Direct Debit, Bancontact, BECS Direct Debit, BLIK,
   Boleto, Cash App Pay, EPS, iDEAL, Multibanco, OXXO, Pre-authorized debit payments,
   Przelewy 24, and SEPA Direct Debit.
 * **Fight fraud:** Detect and prevent fraud with [Stripe Radar](https://stripe.com/radar),
   which offers seamlessly integrated, powerful fraud-detection tools that use machine
   learning to detect and flag potentially fraudulent transactions.
 * **Accept in-person payments for products and services:** Use the Stripe Terminal
   M2 card reader or get started with no additional hardware using Tap to Pay on
   iPhone, or Tap to Pay on Android.
 * **Support subscriptions:** Support recurring payments with various payment methods
   via [WooCommerce Subscriptions](https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-subscriptions/).
 * **Manage cash flow:** Get paid within minutes with Stripe Instant Payouts, if
   eligible.
 * **Achieve [PCI-DSS](https://docs.stripe.com/security) compliance with [Stripe Elements](https://stripe.com/payments/elements)
   hosted input fields.**
 * Support Strong Customer Authentication (SCA).

Stripe is available for store owners and merchants in [46 countries worldwide](https://stripe.com/global),
with more to come.

Just stopped working. Rolled back to prior to when it stopped working, still not
working. Lost a few thousand dollars in sales. Tried everything through Stripe to
get it up and running again. It worked when logged in as an admin, outside folks
couldn’t see any payment options. Guest checkout was enabled. Payment links just
showup wherever they feel like putting them randomly. Switched over to Payment Plugins
which is free and uses Stripe. That fixed every problem I had, was cleaner, and 
it gave me more options. That’s the route to go. They just can’t keep up with this
plugin.

 [J](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sbwdblog8/) March 12, 2026 3 replies

The ability to quickly connect the plugin to a Stripe account is a big step forward(
no more messing around with endpoints, hooks and manually coping and pasting code
back and forth). Being able to quickly turn on a broad range of payment options 
is also useful (card, Klarna, Apple and G Pay etc). However, it us utterly unacceptable
that a major payment gateway like Stripe is publishing software that doesn’t meet
basic web standards for accessibility—particularly those relating to the visually
impaired. When adding card details during the checkout the user has to type using
mid-grey text on a light-grey background—how are the visually impaired supposed 
to see this??? Also, the ability to style the payment section so it matches the 
website brand palette is nigh on impossible. Why would Stripe make the styling of
fonts, colours and background elements so needlessly difficult?! So many basic problems.

Service and plugins are running well. Support is very reactive.

Just works perfectly. Only critical thing I can think of is the obligation to have
credit cards preselected and on top of the payment methods display on the checkout
page. Which for many local people implies an extra action to select the right payment
method, I would prefer to be able to shorten this route.
