External Services

This plugin connects to Stripe to process payments.

What it does:
Processes credit card donations via Stripe Checkout – a secure, Stripe-hosted payment page.

When it connects:
Only when a donor submits the donation form, or when Stripe sends a webhook event to confirm payment status.

What data is sent to Stripe:
Donor name, email address, donation amount, currency, and an optional message. Payment card details are entered directly on Stripe’s servers and never pass through your website.
