Easy Digital Downloads Stripe Payment Gateway v3.0.2 Addon GPL

Easy Digital Downloads Stripe Payment Gateway Addon GPL Overview:

Stripe is the premier choice for online credit card processing; it’s also the most popular payment gateway for Easy Digital Downloads – and it’s our preferred option!

The Stripe Pro payment gateway extension for Easy Digital Downloads allows store owners to accept credit card payments on their WordPress sites. What’s more – this extension is, hands down, the most feature-rich payment gateway integration available for Easy Digital Downloads. If you’re selling digital products on your website, there’s no better choice than Stripe!

Earn more revenue

Our extensive research has shown that Easy Digital Downloads stores using Stripe earn 47% more revenue on average than those using PayPal. Take advantage of powerful features such as subscriptions, on-site checkout, and saved cards to increase your conversions and make more money.

On-site checkout

For any eCommerce site, the checkout page is the most important page on the entire site. Providing a simple, reliable, and fast way for buyers to give you money is critical. With Stripe, customers are never redirected elsewhere to complete their payments. All purchases are completed securely on your site.

You can also choose to combine the credit card number, expiration, and CVC fields into one or keep them separate.

Using Stripe with Easy Digital Downloads also allows you to accept payments via Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Microsoft Pay. These payment methods allow your customers to check out via Touch ID, and Face ID, and with payment cards saved to their digital wallets.

Subscriptions

Our experience, and the experience of many other online sellers, has been that acquiring new customers almost always costs significantly more than retaining existing customers. By using Stripe Pro along with our Recurring Payments extension to offer subscriptions, you can dramatically increase customer retention.

This is extremely powerful for anyone selling licenses for software, services, courses, all-access passes, and more. You can configure your products so that customers are charged on a recurring schedule until they cancel. Additionally, you can even offer a free trial before the subscription begins.

Saved credit cards

Make purchases on your site hassle-free by allowing customers to select previously used cards. Customers can securely save their credit cards through our Stripe integration, creating a seamless purchase experience when they return to your store.

Additionally, all customers can add, remove, and modify their saved cards by logging into their account on your site. This makes the purchase process faster and easier, saving customers time and making you more money. To ensure that customer data remains protected at all times, Stripe securely stores and presents the information so that no sensitive data is ever stored on your site.

Pre-approve payments

If you need to collect and verify payment information from customers but wish to actually process the charge at a later time, this extension is the solution. Customers can complete a normal checkout process when purchasing your products, then you will be able to manually approve or decline the payments from your dashboard.

Integrated refunds

Refunds are never fun, but at least with Stripe, they are easy. Instead of wasting time logging into your Stripe account to return funds to your customers, you can do it all with one click from your site’s dashboard. Edit any payment record, change the status to refund, and Easy Digital Downloads will do the rest!

Test mode

If your store isn’t working properly, you are losing money. For this reason, testing every aspect of your site, especially any eCommerce functionality, is critical. Fortunately, testing with Stripe is as simple as it gets. Just activate test mode and you’re all set to begin simulating customer actions and troubleshooting issues without it affecting your reports.

Simplified setup

We know how busy you are. You have better things to do with your time than spend it installing, configuring, and testing your eCommerce software. Fortunately, connecting your store to Stripe with this Easy Digital Downloads extension is straightforward and painless. Once the plugin is installed and activated, connecting to Stripe is as simple as clicking the “Connect with Stripe” button in the settings. Once that’s done, you’re ready to start accepting credit card payments!
