Overview

About this plugin

Do you use WooCommerce and want to accept PayPal & Stripe payments, including selling subscriptions, completely for free? This plugin can do just that. It’s easy to setup and use.

On top of that we’re an official PayPal and Stripe Partner.

Why install four or more plugins when one is all you need? PayPal Standard, PayPal Commerce, Stripe, and subscriptions are all included, so you only have one plugin to set up.

A PayPal account, which is free, is required to use PayPal. A Stripe account, which is also free, is required to use Stripe. You can use the plugin with only PayPal enabled, only Stripe, or both at the same time.

Here’s a short video to show how the plugin works:

Plugin Features

-

Simply put – This plugin likely has everything you need to sell on WooCommerce.

-

Free, in full – There is no Pro version, no add-ons to buy, no upsell after you install it.

-

PayPal Commerce – Connecting to PayPal is easy and takes just a few clicks and logging into PayPal. The plugin includes paying with PayPal, Pay Later, Venmo, and Pay by Credit Card.

-

PayPal Pay Later messaging, which advertises the option before your customer decides. 50” right on your shop and product pages, so a bigger price tag doesn’t scare them off. You still get paid in full, up front – PayPal collects the installments and absorbs the risk if the customer misses a payment.

Pay Later transactions are billed at PayPal’s Pay Later rate, which differs from standard checkout; see PayPal’s Pay Later documentation for current rates and availability in your region.

-

PayPal buttons on the cart page – Shoppers who already know what they want can pay straight from the cart and skip the checkout form entirely.

-

Stripe – Connecting to Stripe is easy and takes just a few clicks and logging into Stripe. The plugin includes paying with Credit Card directly on your website. It also includes Link, so that customers can save their Credit Card info to Stripe, then when they come back to your website another time, they can see their saved card info when they enter their email address and get a text code sent to their phone so they can complete checkout much faster.

-

PayPal Standard – This plugin includes the PayPal Classic gateway, with both IPN and PDT support. It lets you unhide and restore the PayPal Standard module that’s still built into WooCommerce core, and it also includes our own full and complete PayPal Standard module – use whichever one you prefer. WooCommerce may remove PayPal Standard from its core code entirely in a future release.

If that day comes, our own built-in module means you can simply add it back and keep taking PayPal Standard payments exactly as you do now.

-

3D Secure & SCA – Card payments on both PayPal and Stripe are verified automatically when the customer’s bank asks for it, so cards that need the extra step get approved instead of declined. Nothing to configure, and the fraud liability shifts away from you.

-

Test / Sandbox mode – All three gateways fully support test mode. You can place practice orders with fake money and test cards to be sure everything works exactly how you want before you take a single real payment.

-

Built-in subscriptions – Sell recurring products through PayPal Commerce and Stripe with no additional plugin required.

-

Flexible Billing – Billing interval, free trial, sign-up fee, and a limit on the number of payments, on both simple products and variations.

-

Renewals that don’t depend on your site being online – PayPal and Stripe initiate every charge themselves.

-

Customer self-service – subscribers view, pause, and cancel from ‘My Account’ section of your website without emailing you. This feature can be turned off if you don’t need it.

-

Subscription emails – The emails are already written for you, covering a new subscription, a cancelled subscription, a failed payment, and an expired subscription.

-

Automatic subscriber roles – Customers are given your subscriber role while their subscription is active and moved off it once it ends, so you can use subscriptions for members-only content without managing accounts by hand.

-

Sell multiple subscriptions – A single checkout can mix multiple subscriptions and one-time products with Stripe.

-

Works with WooCommerce Subscriptions – takes over automatically when that plugin is active. This plugin includes Subscription support so you don’t need to use WooCommerce Subscriptions, but you can if you want to.

-

Refund / Cancel Subscriptions easily – Refund a payment and Cancel the subscription at the same time directly from your WooCommerce ‘Edit Order’ page.

-

Chargebacks & Disputes – The plugin also includes handling of disputes and chargebacks. When a dispute arrives it can change the order status for you automatically, and you choose which status it uses. Once PayPal settles the dispute the order goes back to the status it had before, so you always know where an order stands without logging in to PayPal to check.

-

One-click dashboard links – jump from an order straight to the matching payment or subscription in Stripe or PayPal

-

Full support for WooCommerce block and WooCommerce classic checkout

-

HPOS compatible – built for WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage

Why this plugin exists

The plugin began as a way to restore PayPal Standard after WooCommerce deprecated it. PayPal has confirmed they have no current plans to discontinue PayPal Standard, so it’s still here – now we’ve expanded the plugin by including a full PayPal Commerce integration, a modern Stripe checkout experience, and built-in subscriptions.
