Mailto Link Form vs Payment Page – Stripe Payment Forms for Donations, Subscriptions & Recurring Payments

Mailto Link Form lets you build contact forms that continue in the visitor’s email app. Key features: * Create and manage multiple forms in wp-admin. * Configure To, Subject, and Body Template per form. * Map values into body placeholders such as {{your_field_key}}. * Embed forms anywhere with a shortcode. This plugin does not send email directly from your server. It generates a mailto: URL and opens the user’s default email app. Usage Go to Mailto Forms and create a form. Configure recipient email, subject, body template, and select fields. Place shortcode like [mailto_link_form id="123"] into a page.

Payment Page builds Stripe payment forms on WordPress without requiring WooCommerce. Create one-time or recurring forms, connect an eligible Stripe account, and publish a form with the plugin shortcode or native Elementor widget. 🎯 BUILT FOR Freelancers invoicing clients and collecting retainer deposits Coaches & Consultants taking deposits and selling session packages Yoga, Fitness & Wellness studios selling memberships and class packs Nonprofits accepting one-time and recurring donations Agencies invoicing monthly maintenance and managing client billing Creators & Educators selling courses, gated content, and subscriptions ⚡ KEY FEATURES One-page Stripe forms — cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, SEPA Direct Debit, Alipay, and WeChat Pay, subject to account, country, currency, browser, device, and recurring-payment eligibility 22 payment-form setting templates — 10 bundled in the plugin and 12 delivered from the public template endpoint 11 separate Elementor full-page layouts — page designs are distinct from the payment-form setting templates Stripe Connect onboarding — start the released OAuth onboarding flow from WordPress without copying API keys into the plugin settings One-time and recurring plans — one-time, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, every six months, annually, and every three years Donation forms & custom amounts — let customers choose the amount for donations or invoices Custom form fields — collect additional information relevant to the payment Prefill form fields — pass values into a form via query strings Elementor widget and shortcode — place a released payment form in a page layout Post-payment actions — configure confirmation emails, redirects, success/failure messages, and HTTP requests PayPal Standard Checkout — an alternative one-time gateway with no Payment Page platform fee 💰 PRICING — FREE TO START, ONLY PAY WHEN YOU EARN The free version includes the core plugin and applies a 2% Payment Page platform fee to Stripe transactions.

Review the governing EULA and the terms shown at checkout before purchasing; the marketing listing does not state a refund duration while public summaries are being reconciled. 🔌 INTEGRATES WITH Stripe — Stripe Connect integration for cards, SEPA Direct Debit, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Alipay, and WeChat Pay; ACH Direct Debit is Pro. Availability depends on the connected account and transaction. PayPal — Standard Checkout for one-time payments Elementor — native payment-form widget HTTP endpoints — send a configurable HTTP request after payment 🔒 SECURITY Stripe card fields are rendered with Stripe Elements rather than ordinary WordPress inputs. Site owners still remain responsible for securing WordPress, restricting access, keeping software updated, showing required notices, and completing the compliance steps that apply to their business and integration. 🆚 WHY CHOOSE PAYMENT PAGE Payment Page focuses on standalone WordPress payment forms when a WooCommerce cart and catalog are unnecessary. The released plugin combines Stripe Connect onboarding, defined one-time and recurring plans, configurable form fields and actions, 22 form-setting templates, and a native Elementor widget. Payment-method availability remains subject to the selected gateway, account, country, currency, browser, device, plan, and recurring-payment support. Read the documentation → · See pricing →
