GDPR and why we like the popup

Just a quick one in response: I am only using the Stripe plugin as it currently appears to be the only way to accept Apple Pay via woocommerce. This is all I want it for. I get the Paypal and Apple Pay buttons but I am not managing the payments: no credit card forms my end.

Moreover, in my instance, Apple Pay is obviously only available on supported devices. Yet where Apple Pay is not supported, such as firefox on windows 7, my site still serves four Stripe cookies even though the button does not appear!

As you indicate, my ideal solution would be that Stripe cookies are only set once the Apple Pay button is pressed.

@gingeralfie
you can suppress the stripe scripts on the product pages though that’s not a complete solution.

Something like this though I haven’t checked the latest updates:

add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dequeue_scripts', 1000);
function dequeue_scripts()
{
    if (is_woocommerce_activated()){            
	if ( ! is_cart() && ! is_checkout() && ! isset( $_GET['pay_for_order'] ) && ! is_add_payment_method_page() ) {
            wp_dequeue_script('stripe');
            wp_dequeue_script('woocommerce_stripe');
            wp_dequeue_script('woocommerce_stripe_apple_pay_single');
            wp_dequeue_style('stripe_apple_pay');                        
        }
    }
}

@jonathanmoorebcsorg – that is the wrong assumption. The new technology IS the inline/embedded CC fields and is hosted on Stripe’s server. No CC data ever touches your site and therefore has PCI liability shift. Please read more about it here https://stripe.com/elements

gosh yes it is an iframe, or even 3 iframes. Wow. That’s good.

There’s no obvious visual indication that would give the customer a clue that that is the case – I guess one can try to clarify in the payment description, but it might be nice to have the option of a stripe logo and branding around that area of the form.
Since it appears as one form with one button which submits all the data, and since it is presumably waiting for woocommerce to validate the order details before submitting the payment, it is natural to assume that all the data is sent to the same website.

@jonathanmoorebcsorg – that assumption would only be true if all your purchasing customers are developers or highly tech savvy. Most would not even know what Stripe is. And the user experience people usually expect is for the form to be on your site and not be redirected to another page OR a popup which is actually quite scary as you don’t really know if that popup is an injection or not..etc.

@jonathanmoorebcsorg Thanks. Tried in different places on functions.php but couldn’t make it work. A bit beyond me to alter the code

@royho Agree with you about people not knowing about Stripe – particularly so, here in the UK. As somewhat tech-savvy, I hadn’t encountered it until my need for Apple Pay

@gingeralfie my code example was out of date, all you need is this from the documentation page:

Can I hide the Payment Request button on the single Product page?
You can remove the Payment Request button from the Product page with this filter: add_filter( 'wc_stripe_hide_payment_request_on_product_page', '__return_true' );
