Stripe payment-form plugin for WordPress with subscriptions, taxes, installments, and alternative payment methods.
#5 of 7 in Ecommerce Plugins by Overall Score
WP Simple Pay lets WordPress sites collect Stripe payments without installing a full shopping cart. Its drag-and-drop payment-form builder supports one-time and recurring billing, installment plans, trials, setup fees, automatic or fixed taxes, coupons, donation amounts, dedicated payment pages, and alternative methods such as bank debit and buy-now-pay-later options.
WP Simple Pay creates a Stripe checkout or on-site payment form without introducing cart, inventory and product-catalog workflows. Subscription form settings can use recurring billing schedules, while payment processing and available methods depend on the connected Stripe account and country. Teams should check which form behaviors require a paid license before basing a checkout implementation on the free plugin.
