Very simple and slick

That sounds like a criticism of Stripe (the payment processor) itself, not the plugin. This plugin simply allows you to collect payments via Stripe, it does not define the fees.

The plugin charges added fees for using their SSL on top of Stripes fees, which is not made clear when installing the plugin. Even Paypal would be less expensive than the combined 4.4%.

Pricing
Using our secure servers with Stripe costs 4.4% + 45￠ per successful transaction.

For example, if you successfully charge someone $20 then after fees you’ll collect $18.67 — which Stripe will automatically deposit directly into your bank account.

The fee above already includes Stripe’s fee (2.9% + 30￠) — we just add an additional 1.5% + 15￠ for the use of our secure servers — which makes a grand total of 4.4% + 45￠ per successful transaction.

@msvideo – It looks like you have the wrong plugin. We’re not associated with buynowforstripe.com.

Would you mind updating your review? Thanks!

My sincere apologies, my comment above relates to a different plugin. Unfortunately cannot see an option to delete or amend.

No worries. Looks like you were able to change the rating and modify the original post. Thank you!
