• Secure redirect checkout via Stripe Checkout Sessions
• Test and Live modes with separate API keys
• 25 currencies · amount field or WPForms payment total
• Optional quantity multiplier and customer email pre-fill

• [thenfopa_stripe_details] shortcode for thank-you pages
• Transaction list, detail view, one-click refunds
• Optional Stripe webhooks with signing secret verification
• CSV export (free version: up to 10 recent records)

Step-by-Step Configuration

How Stripe Payments Work

1. Visitor submits a Stripe-enabled form.
2. Plugin creates a Checkout Session (amount, currency, description, optional email, metadata).
3. Visitor pays on Stripe Checkout.
4. Stripe returns them to your success URL; the plugin verifies status and stores the transaction.
5. Optional webhooks keep statuses in sync (completed, expired, refunds).

Manage Transactions

Open Stripe Transactions for customer, total, and status columns; open a detail view for the full Stripe response; refund in one click; export CSV as needed.

Use Cases

• Service deposits and booking fees
• Product/setup fee forms
• Donation or invoice acceptance flows
• Agency sites that prefer Stripe Checkout

Troubleshooting

• No redirect: confirm Stripe is enabled and keys match Test/Live mode.
• Paid on Stripe but missing in WP: check success URL, caching, and webhooks.
• Wrong amount: re-check amount/quantity mapping vs payment total.
