DON’T USE IF YOU USE STRIPE

    If you value your customers privacy, and your business I would not recommend using this plugin. The way the implement stripe into the plugin is by giving themselves access to every single transaction you do. They will know more about your business and customers then you will.

    When trying to enable stripe on this plugin you effectively use their API to connect to stripe. They say this makes it easier for them to implement features, but then why doesn’t any other program do this? The only reason they do this is so eventually they’ll tell you they need a percentage of your transactions like 99% of Stripe Plugin Developers. They just want to be a middle man and eventually they will tell you, you need to pay them for this as well.

    Not only this how can I trust that EDD a wordpress plugin maker is PCI Complaint with my customers personal Data. I can’t, you can’t, and they can’t prove that they are safe with it. I highly advise if you want to use stripe to not use this plugin, or I have a very good feeling that you will fully regret it in the future.

    They will try to give some lame excuse as to why they do this, but it’s just an excuse and a lame one at that and doesn’t make sense, when it just doesn’t need to be done. It’s like having an overseer of your money that you didn’t ask for.

    @fckwp4343,

    Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. I’d like to clarify how our Stripe integration works to ensure full transparency and understanding.

    Our plugin uses Stripe Connect, a method encouraged by Stripe, to simplify the initial setup, ensure a properly configured integration for collecting payments, and provide a more secure integration flow. The only time our Stripe integration communicates with the Easy Digital Downloads website is during this initial connection process, using industry-standard OAuth 2.0 flows as outlined by Stripe in their recent changes to the Connect guidelines. Once this secure connection is established between your store and Stripe, all Stripe communication occurs directly between your store and Stripe—Easy Digital Downloads does not process, transmit, or store any transaction or customer details on our own servers at any time. We are not a middleman for the payments an Easy Digital Downloads-powered store processes.

    Unlike many other developers integrating with Stripe, our approach ensures that communication with Stripe is not modified or altered, maintaining both security and reliability. We take security and privacy very seriously and follow industry best practices to protect both merchants and customers.

    If you have any further questions or concerns, we’d be happy to discuss them—please feel free to reach out to our team directly.

    Best regards,
    Chris Klosowski
    President, Easy Digital Downloads
