Easy Digital Downloads Stripe Payment Gateway

Description

The Stripe Payment add-on adds the Stripe gateway to Easy Digital Downloads, processing credit card payments directly at checkout without redirecting the customer outside the store. The extension captures data through a tokenized form, sends it to the Stripe API, and records the order status in the EDD dashboard, allowing digital product stores to charge in real time with immediate confirmation.
