Description
Changing consumer behavior has resulted in an explosion of payment methods and experiences, which are great for increasing conversion and lowering costs—but can be difficult for businesses to maintain. Give customers a best-in-class checkout experience while you remain focused on your core business. This is the official plugin created by Stripe and WooCommerce.

Awesome support team! Super quick, really friendly, and they didn’t just stop at the basics — they went out of their way to help me figure out an issue that wasn’t even with their plugin. Couldn’t ask for better service!

Excellent!
I had an issue with the checkout fields on my website. It was creating a conflict that made the user experience so difficult when making a purchase that they were leaving the page without completing it. Since I shared my issue on the forum, I received fantastic support. The excellent team was able to resolve my issue in record time. Thank you all!
