Minimal Stripe Wrapper vs Simple Payment

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.

Selling something shouldn’t require a full shopping cart. Simple Payment turns any WordPress post, page, block, form or button into a ready-to-pay product or service in minutes — and routes the money through the payment gateway you already trust. No bloated store to configure, no checkout to rebuild: just a shortcode (or a block, or an Elementor widget) and you are taking payments. From a single “Donate” button to installment plans, saved cards, subscriptions and multi-gateway checkouts, Simple Payment scales from a personal blog to a commercial site — while keeping sensitive card data out of your database. Why you’ll love it Sell in minutes, not days. Drop one shortcode on any page and you have a working, styled payment form. Post/page titles become the product name and a custom field becomes the price — automatically. Use the gateway you already have. One consistent form and workflow in front of many gateways — switch providers without rebuilding your pages. Built for real money flows. Installments, monthly subscriptions / recurring, saved-card tokenization, refunds, invoices/receipts, and automatic transaction verification. Beautiful, flexible forms. Multiple templates (Bootstrap, Legacy, Donation, free-amount), inline, IFRAME or modal display, and full support for your own theme templates. Privacy first. PCI-DSS friendly: card data is masked/redacted before anything touches the database, and old records can be auto-archived and purged. Developer friendly. A rich set of actions and filters, a documented Engine API to extend any gateway or build your own, plus a full transactions log with filtering and CSV export. Supported payment gateways (Engines) PayPal, Cardcom, iCount, PayMe, iCredit, CreditGuard, Meshulam, YaadPay, Credit2000, WooCommerce (third-party site), plus a Custom engine for anything else and a Test engine for development. NEW: Sell on one site, charge on another (WooCommerce engine) The WooCommerce engine lets your site take a purchase and hand the actual payment off to a separate, third-party WooCommerce store over its REST API — perfect for agencies, marketplaces, franchises and multi-brand operators who want a central “storefront” and one billing store that owns the gateways, invoices and bookkeeping. The customer clicks Buy on your site; Simple Payment creates the order on the remote WooCommerce store with the correct total and customer details. The shopper pays on the remote store (in a redirect, popup or modal) using whatever gateways that store has enabled. A bundled Companion mode on the receiving store validates and keeps the originating parameters, can auto-complete paid orders, silences the remote store’s duplicate customer/admin emails for outsourced requests, and sends the customer straight back to your site when payment succeeds. You keep a full record of every transaction on the originating site, with automatic status verification. Works with your favorite tools Gutenberg block editor, Elementor, WooCommerce, WPJobBoard, GravityForms and Form Maker — plus Zapier to trigger workflows (CRM, email, spreadsheets, fulfilment) on every payment. What you can build One-click “Buy” / “Donate” buttons anywhere on your site Pay-what-you-want donation forms with a free-entry amount Membership, course or service checkouts on a single landing page Installment plans and monthly subscriptions Central storefront that bills through a separate WooCommerce store Currently on Beta: PayMe – please contact if you require assistance. Soon to be released: Pelecard, Tranzila. PS: You’ll need a Simple Payment API key for advanced gateways to use it. Keys are available for personal blogs; single domain, multiple domains, businesses and commercial sites. Feedback and Support I would be happy to receive your feedback to improve this plugin.
