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.

Key Features

  • Integrated on-site checkout
    Processes the card within the EDD checkout page, without external redirection.
  • Tokenization via Stripe.js

  • Compatible with multiple currencies
