    Hello, I have a couple of questions about this little gem, which I’m thinking to install because Stripe doesn’t allow to set custom payments unless you are a skilled coder.
    1) is it possible to open the form triggered by a button, just like Stripe checkout does?
    2) is it possible to avoid payers to have accounts created? I have a complex membership system and I don’t want it to conflict, or to confuse users

    Hi there and thanks for your questions!

    1) Yes it is possible to do this. When configuring your Tip Form, you can set it to start as a button, which opens the tip form in a popup modal, just like the original Stripe Checkout.

    You can use the shortcode like this to accomplish that:
    [tipjarwp mode=”button” link_text=”Leave a tip” open_style=”in_modal”]

    You can find out more about the ways the Tip form can be shown on our website here:

    2) Your users never have to log in to leave a tip. However, Tip Jar WP does auto-create user accounts for any user (in the background) if they don’t already have an account. This allows them to log in to get their receipt, or cancel a recurring plan. I don’t think this should interfere with any other system, as the users are created with “subscriber” privileges, which gives them no controls in most 3rd party membership systems.

    Thank you for the prompt reply (it sounds promising when a “little” plugin has such good support and documentation). I shall test the button feature.
    For the account question, my real concern was more about privacy. I mean, it’s certainly a smart feature but I think occasional visitors wouldn’t like to discover they got signed up just for having made a one-off donation. I shall think about it ?? Maybe there should be a little notice saying that “an account will be created for this and that purposes”…
