    Why on earth do you need my name and email for me to use a plugin other than you trying to put me on your mailing list?

    Now i see that not only do you store the websites details, (together with our emails and names) but you want paypal details to be stored on your site as well

    No thanks!

    Why on earth would you think this is better than woocommerce that doesn’t require an account and secondly doesn’t require my financial details to be stored on some third party website?

    Thought this plugin was supposed to improve on Woo, not make it worst and higher risk.

    What happens when you get hacked and everyone’s paypal credentials go along with it?

    All i wanted was to try this so called “free” plugin to see if it even works, and is better than woo, but cant eve do that because you want to hold all my personal credentials before i can even try

    This is not good at all. I don’t want to be throwing my credentials at a plugin without even being able to test it. you will never take down woo with this email database scraping mentality

    Hi Space Monkey ??

    Thank you for taking the time to write here.

    Let me first say that SureCart never asks you for your Stripe or PayPal credentials, not even your API keys from those services. When you do connect to Stripe or PayPal, you are taken to their sites to establish a connection. In addition to that, SureCart doesn’t store any payment information such as numbers, expirations, things like that. It doesn’t even pass through SureCart.

    The same way you connect WooCommerce to Stripe or PayPal is the same exact process that we follow. They are identical.

    Maybe it would help if we made a video on this, showing that nothing is asked by SureCart, nothing is stored. And that it’s the same process as WooCommerce. I will queue that up.

    Hi Adam

    Thanks for the reply.

    In every plugin I’ve used such as https://www.angelleye.com/product/woocommerce-paypal-plugin/ (as i find this superior to the default woo PayPal plugin), I always enter either my official or sandbox developer API Client ID and Secret keys, thereby no login connection is made to the website.

    Are you saying yours connects the Client ID and Secret keys automatically?

    I’m just very cautious and conscious of logging in anywhere online, as while you might not have ill intent with the credentials, many of the worlds largest companies such as Nvidia, Samsung Twilio and hundreds more get hacked each day.

    Just one visit to bleeping computer’s website says it all unfortunately.

    A video clearing it up would certainly help me clarify.

    Thanks
