More thorough Stripe payments integration

    We recently changed from processing payments via Paypal with Restrict Content Pro, and now use Stripe integration. All set up and working as expected, but it just seems… not quite finished?

    We hoped the integration would look like a usual familiar Stripe checkout as seen on other e-commerce sites, where you can use any of the payment methods setup within Stripe itself. For example we’ve setup Apple Pay, bank transfers as well as credit card payments… yet all that’s available is a name and credit card field. It doesn’t feel like an authentic Stripe checkout experience which may put users off.

    Advice from RCP support was to write a custom gateway. Writing a custom gateway for what works in this way already via Paypal, yet not for Stripe, is somewhat too much to require a customer to complete, especially for a paid plugin. I’m unsure why RCP set it up with a button for PayPal which pops up an official PayPal window for the various payment options, but not the same for Stripe. It would be good to have the option for an in-page native experience or an external official Stripe checkout.

    If anyone else has customised the Stripe payment checkout process do let me know.

    From support:
    “While Stripe does have an integration with Apple Pay etc., unfortunately, the RCP integration with Stripe does not. To achieve this end, you would need a customized version of Stripe. We do have a Gateway API that supports custom integrations. See:?https://help.solidwp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052351054-Payment-Gateway-API“

  • I’m actually working on that because I had the same issue. Wanted to have Apple Pay and Google pay and the current implementation doesn’t have that possibility.

    I’m going to try to wrap it up in a Restric Content Pro Plugin, and if you want to beta test it would be great.

    Sounds good @jonatasbarros – I started but as our sites are live production platforms it made testing almost impossible. Let me know what you come up with an we’ll have a look.

    I am really interested in this also, since I need to use multycurrency (supported by stripe) but this plugin dosnt suppor this.

    I am hopping that using the stripe gateway directly my customers will be able to choose the currency.

    @jonatasbarros hope you can find a solution and share it.

    Thanks in advance

    same here. Would love a plugin that can solve this issue!

    Not having Apple/Google Pay is a huge downside…
