SCA & WooCommerce Stripe Gateway and WC 3.7.0
-
Short story: Latest WooCommerce Stripe Gateway (3.6.4) is not yet tested with WC 3.7.0 and also not complying with new EU SCA regulations. Please give top priority to both of these since the deadline for supporting SCA is September 14th 2019, after which many credit card payments will be declined without SCA compliance.
Long story:
I received an email from Stripe today. Subject: “Action required: update your WooCommerce integration with Stripe to help avoid declined payments”.
“Starting 14 September, new industry-wide regulation will introduce Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) requirements on many payments in Europe. Payments that don’t use two-factor authentication may be declined by your customers’ banks.
Our information shows you’re currently using WooCommerce to accept payments with Stripe. WooCommerce has released an update to be ready for SCA. To avoid an increase in declined payments, you’ll need to update to the latest version of WooCommerce before 14 September.”
I wanted to upgrade my WooCommerce Stripe Gateway plugin but it seems I already have the latest version (3.6.4). This version was not tested with WC 3.7.0 which also prevents me from upgrading WC as a whole.
September 14th is coming and I’m concerned about not being able to accept credit cards via Stripe gateway.
Thanks
Yuval
