I know this thread is old but I’m having the same issue on localhost in my dev environment even after enabling curl. Any ideas as to why the plugin won’t active atill? This is the error I’m getting:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘Stripe needs the CURL PHP extension.’ in C:\wamp\www\wp-content\plugins\wp-stripe\stripe-php\lib\Stripe.php on line 7
