Description

The Stripe gateway processes event registration payments directly through the Event Espresso checkout, capturing card data via a secure form hosted by Stripe and confirming the reservation as soon as the charge is approved. This additional module links the Event Espresso registration flow to the Stripe API, supporting credit and debit cards from major issuers with automatic order status confirmation in the event management dashboard.
