Multibanco, MB WAY, Credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Payshop, Cofidis Pay, and PIX (ifthenpay) for WooCommerce vs WP Stripe Cart – Fast, lightweight Stripe Shopping Cart for WordPress

“Pagamento de Serviços” (payment of services) on Multibanco (Portuguese ATM network), and MB WAY (using the customer’s mobile phone number), are the most popular ways to pay for services and (online) purchases in Portugal. Portuguese consumers trust the “Multibanco” and “MB WAY” payment methods more than any other. This plugin generates a “Multibanco” Payment Reference that customers can use to pay for their WooCommerce orders at an ATM or via home banking, or an “MB WAY” payment request which will send a push notification to the customer’s mobile phone for payment approval. Credit or debit cards, including Apple Pay and Google Pay, CTT Payshop, and Cofidis Pay payment methods are also available. Holders of a Brazilian bank account can conveniently pay for WooCommerce orders in Euros, with automatic currency conversion to Brazilian Real, using PIX. This is the official ifthenpay plugin, and a contract with this company is required. Technical support is provided by Naked Cat Plugins (by Webdados) on the WordPress.org support forums. Fully compatible with the new High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and the WooCommerce block-based checkout.

WP Stripe Cart is the simple way to sell products on WordPress with a real shopping cart — without the weight of WooCommerce. Most Stripe plugins force a choice: a heavy full eCommerce platform you have to configure and maintain, or a single “Buy Now” button with no cart at all. WP Stripe Cart sits exactly in between. You get a genuine multi-item cart and checkout — customers can add several products, adjust quantities, and pay in one go — while your site stays fast and clean. Products and prices are managed in your Stripe dashboard and displayed on any page or post with a simple shortcode. Stripe stays the single source of truth, so there is no bloated product database to maintain inside WordPress. Cart, checkout, tax, and order tracking are all handled for you. Why WP Stripe Cart? A real cart, not just a button. Sell multiple items in one checkout — not one-product-at-a-time. Lightweight and fast. No page-builder bloat, no dozens of database tables slowing your site down. No monthly fees. You only ever pay standard Stripe processing rates. Mobile-first checkout. Apple Pay and Google Pay work out of the box for one-tap payments. Managed in Stripe. Create and price products in Stripe; display them anywhere with a shortcode. Your data stays yours. Order and customer data lives on your own site and in your Stripe account — no third-party store host in the middle. Theme-integrated design. Inherits your theme’s colors and typography so the cart looks native. Multi-currency ready. Handles multiple currencies with correct formatting. Translation-ready. Ships with English and Japanese, and is ready for more. What can you sell? WP Stripe Cart works for a wide range of use cases: Digital downloads (ebooks, software, templates, music) Physical products with shipping Services and bookings Memberships Donations Event tickets Add a product in seconds Create the product in Stripe, then drop the shortcode where you want it: [wsc-get-product product_id="prod_XXXXXXXX"] That’s it — the product renders with an “Add to cart” control, and checkout works immediately. A simpler alternative to WooCommerce If you have looked at WooCommerce and felt it was overkill — too many settings, too many extensions, too much overhead just to take a few payments — WP Stripe Cart gives you the checkout you actually need with a fraction of the setup. And unlike single-payment button plugins, you still get a proper cart when a customer wants to buy more than one thing.
