FAQ
Does this plugin store credit card information on my website?
Absolutely not. For maximum security and PCI compliance, all sensitive payment information is sent directly to Stripe's secure servers and is never stored on your WordPress database. The plugin uses Stripe Elements, which creates secure iframes for payment fields, ensuring that your website never handles the raw card data.
Can I charge different amounts based on user selections in the form?
Yes, this is a key feature. You can easily set up dynamic pricing. For example, you can use dropdowns, checkboxes, or radio buttons in your Contact Form 7 to represent different services or product options, and the total payment amount will be calculated automatically based on the user's choices before they proceed to pay.
Is this plugin compatible with the latest version of Contact Form 7 and WordPress?
Yes, the plugin is actively maintained to ensure compatibility with the latest versions of both WordPress and the Contact Form 7 plugin. We always recommend keeping all your plugins and themes updated to ensure smooth operation and security. This version is tested up to WordPress 6.0.x.
What do I need to get started with this plugin?
To get started, you will need a WordPress website with the Contact Form 7 plugin already installed and activated. You will also need an active Stripe account.
