Stripe When the Stripe payment gateway is enabled and a customer submits a booking, the plugin communicates with: Stripe API (https://api.stripe.com) — to create a PaymentIntent and process the card payment. Data sent includes the booking amount, currency, and a booking reference metadata string. No personal customer data (name, email, address) is sent to the Stripe API directly by this plugin. Stripe.js (https://js.stripe.com/v3/) — the official Stripe JavaScript library, loaded on any page containing the booking form when Stripe is enabled. This library handles secure card field rendering in the customer’s browser. Stripe may collect browser and device information as described in their privacy policy.
