Minimal Stripe Wrapper (MSW) is a lightweight and secure WordPress plugin designed to streamline Stripe payments with minimal setup and maximum flexibility. Unlike complex, feature-heavy payment plugins, MSW provides a low-footprint solution that leverages Stripe Checkout, ensuring the highest level of security while keeping your site’s payment workflow simple and efficient. Please visit the full Plugin Documentation page. Features Single payments via Stripe-hosted Checkout No card or payment information are stored locally. Can use Stripe Test mode for sandbox testing. Can automatically add a surcharge to cover the Stripe transaction fee. Will work with either logged in users (eg. a membership site) or not logged in users (eg. a donation) Includes a shortcode Donate Form with variable amount. Downloadable transactions history in the WP dashboard for tracking and cross-referencing transactions. Security Uses Stripe-hosted forms. No card data touches your server. Rate-limiting for extra protection. Stripe secret keys are stored encrypted. Uses the WordPress REST API with corresponding validation checks in addition to Stripe validation. External services This plugin connects to the Stripe API in order to initiate a Stripe Checkout session and to receive a Webhook response. You may specify what information is supplied to Stripe. The minimum information you must supply is the payment amount. You may optionally include a Users email, product name and quantity. Where an email is not supplied, Stripe will require the user to enter an email. See also the Stripe Consumer Terms of Service and the Stripe Privacy Policy How it Works You can initiate a Stripe payment with any of these methods: The Gutenberg block element ‘Minimal Stripe Button’ By using any clickable element of your choice (eg. a or ) By using the shortcode-generated button. By using an action hook. By using the shortcode-generated donate-form. Method 1: A Gutenberg block element Add to your page using the WordPress block editor. Method 2: Use an existing clickable element Add a css class to any clickable target element. eg. Use the page builder of your choice (eg. A Divi Button). class="mswr-stripe-payment" Then add a filter hook to enter/modify your specific payment details. For example: add_filter( 'mswr_pre_stripe_checkout', function( $args ) { // add payment details $args[ 'amount' ] = $amount; // use the smallest unit of your currency. ie. $123.45 => '12345' $args[ 'currency' ] = 'nzd'; // iso 4217 currency code $args[ 'email' ] = [email protected]; // eg. wp_get_current_user()->user_email; $args[ 'product' ] = 'Your Product/Service name'; // will appear on the Stripe Checkput page $args[ 'user_meta' ] = 'Membership Renewal'; // user-defined tag that can help identify a transaction in the Stripe webhook callback return $args; }); Method 3: Using a shortcode-generated button This method requires no php code. You can however, optionally add a php hook (as above) to modify the Stripe parameters and to perform extra actions on the Stripe webhook callback. Example shortcode: [mswr_stripe_button amount="1234" currency="usd" email="[email protected]" product="Sample Product" quantity="2" success_url="/payment_success" cancelled_url="/payment_cancelled"] Method 4: WP hook A developer method. Use PHP from your code to fire a WordPress ‘action’ which initiates a Stripe Checkout session with the specified Stripe arguments Action hook: mswr_initiate_stripe_payment Example: $args = [ 'amount' => '12345' ]; add_action( 'mswr_initiate_stripe_payment', $args ); … Hooks available in Minimal Stripe Wrapper 1. mswr_initiate_stripe_payment 2. mswr_pre_stripe_checkout 3. mswr_{\$type} 4. mswr_shortcode_html Method 5: Donate Form Shortcode generated Donate Form where the user can select the amount to pay.
