### "WP Simple Pay - Best WordPress Stripe Payment Plugin"

April 7, 2020

5.0

I was able to create different payment forms with WP Simple Pay. I started with simple forms, then I built forms with more custom fields, then I also needed forms that included subscriptions. It is very useful that you can put your Stripe connection on test mode or live mode. Beside using the plugin in English language, I was able to translate it in Romanian. The WP Simple Pay support team were very accommodating in adding a new language to their portfolio. I enjoy their collaboration! The WP Simple Pay team always reply quick and help you with any question you may have. The plugin is always up-to-date with any new Stripe features. This keeps your website payment secure.

Pros

WP Simple Pay provides the ability to create simple payment forms for your website that will be processed using Stripe payment processor. I like that WP Simple Pay allows you to do various customizations for your payment forms. You can select between an embedded, an overlay form or a Stripe checkout form. WP Simple Pay shows your Stripe subscription options directly in your form setup, which comes very handy. There is documentation available for the different plugin settings.

Cons

WP Simple Pay may seem a bit complex in the beginning, but it is easy to follow the settings as they are align with the Stripe features.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing WP Simple Pay

I chose WP Simple Pay because I wanted to submit the payments through Stripe, which is a cheaper option than PayPal. Also I chose WP Simple Pay because is a well maintained plugin. Currently I use it simultaneously with PayPal, as some customers prefer to pay with PayPal.

### "Enable simple payments for more conversions!"

March 27, 2020

5.0

I've been building websites for over 15 years and have tried many solutions in accepting payments. WP Simple Pay is PERFECT for quick, easy transactions that don't need a lot of complex solutions. It's a great way to sell small items, accept donations, etc. I absolutely LOVE that buyers can STAY on the same page and can put in their credit card on the SAME form where they put their name and email address. It's so sleek! I highly recommend this is you are looking for a quick, easy, and sexy way to accept credit card payments on your WordPress site!

Pros

What I like most is the simplicity of the plugin. Stripe is my favorite credit card processor because I can create multiple companies in one account - which means I can accept payments for multiple entities under one hub. I also mainly use WordPress to build all sites for myself and for my clients, so WP Simple Pay is a no brainer! I love the sleek and simple interface as it makes it so easy and attractive to accept credit card payments! People can pay on one simple form ON your website, rather than going to an external website or additional page on the website. It's professional and slick!

Cons

What I like least is the lack of "smart" features. You can't really make complicated forms where you can gather more information about the buyer. You have to keep it simple - but I guess that's the reason why it's called WP Simple Pay. Don't expect the ability to create complex forms!

Reason for choosing WP Simple Pay

I needed something more streamline and SIMPLE. For quick and small transactions, WooCommerce and EDD is too bloated. WP Simple Pay is a great solution for very sipmle transactions.

To be completely frank, I don't like the way Paypal accepts payments. It takes buyers to an external page and it's just simply not attractive.

### "I moved on"

April 15, 2020

3.0

Pros

At the time I was looking for the perfect plugin to use for my site. I downloaded the lite version thought it was what I needed and paid for the full version. Set up was ok there were a few tasks that were confusing for me to get through. I didn't end up using it for long, I switched to another service a few months in.

Cons

The transition from lite to the full version.

### "Maybe the easiest way to implement a Stripe payment into WordPress"

April 1, 2020

5.0

We've been using this as our primary 'make a payment' or 'pay an invoice' software both on our own website and the sites of customers for more than two years now, I think, and I am so happy with it. It's grown in smart ways over the years, has continued to get easier to use and \*shock\* our per unit licensing fees have actually gone DOWN since we started using it. I can't recommend it highly enough, and in fact I do, at least once a month. There are a lot of 'payment' plugins out there, but for a simple payment, I haven't found anything better than this.

Pros

This software is really top-notch. Of course it's not perfect for everyone, but for what it does -- allowing you to take payments, including recurring payments, on your WordPress site using Stripe as the payment processor, I haven't found anything easier, or cheaper (with all the features).

Cons

Honestly, there aren't many gripes I have with this software. I did try to get it to show one of my custom fields on the payment receipt page and had some trouble, but I'm not sure that is the fault of the software or Stripe's backend. Short of making it a little easier for my non-techy customers to use (we set it up for them) I can't think of any dislikes.

[WooCommerce](https://www.capterra.com/p/225601/WooCommerce/)

Reason for choosing WP Simple Pay

We really looked at a lot of options when we chose this, including the big dogs like WooCommerce, but for most things where just a simple payment/checkout in one fell swoop was needed, this was the easiest and fastest to implement and did the best job.

### "Great Payment Plugin"

April 1, 2020

5.0

Pros

WP Simple Pay has been the best payments plugin that I have used. The setup, integration, and ease of use are definitely superior to their competitors. The end users have been happy with the interface on the payments side as well.

Cons

The notifications was the hardest part for me to get working correctly, but if I recall, it was more of an issue with the server-side SMTP settings.

### "Easiest way to do commerce"

March 28, 2020

5.0

Love it. Makes it so easy to get paid on my website.

Pros

It is so easy to use and works great for both one time purchases and subscription based purchases. Integrates easily with Stripe. It’s super light weight, very focused plugin, does one thing flawlessly.

Cons

I honestly can not think of anything. If it had a companion membership plugin or integrated with a simple membership plugin that would be cool.

They have always been great to work with. Very responsive with support questions and they are always updating.

Pros

Easy to use. Can custom style buttons with CSS. They are always adding features.

Cons

Would be nice to have the option to do cart flows like a one click upsell.

### "It works for Donations!"

April 1, 2020

5.0

It's a great solution to integrate stripe payments into wordpress with a lot of customization available.

Pros

I love being able to use this plugin to simply create one-time and recurring donation widgets to drop into WordPress.

Cons

About 6 months ago they forced a switch over to a new drag and drop system to create forms that is really user friendly, BUT, that system means that I can no longer weave html and custom css into the plugin the way that I used to be able to.

### "Cost effective e-commerce solution"

April 2, 2020

4.0

It does what it said it would do and without any problems with setup and implementation.

Pros

It was easy to setup and integrate with our Stripe account. The documentation on the website was a nice resource to consult when we had questions.

Cons

The pricing is just too much for the features we use and the subscription mode we would like to use. I can see paying the personal price if it also included Stripe subscriptions. The other con related to pricing is this software only connects with Stripe

### "Easy Payments with WordPress and Stripe"

April 1, 2020

5.0

We found it easy to implement WP Simple Pay and successfully collected many payments through it.

Pros

This allowed us to easily spin up products and take payments without the complexity of implementing a full cart like woocommerce.

Cons

There are some limitations to using a single button for checkout, but in general if you are deciding to do that, this is by far the easiest way we found to do it.

### "Simple Pay"

April 1, 2020

5.0

I couldn't even get my test orders to work. Overall, I ended up going with Shopify because it was easier to set up. I'm sure if I spent more time I could have gotten it to work, but I didn't have the time to dedicate to troubleshooting.

Pros

Inexpensive, fairly straightforward, and easy basic installation.

Cons

Customization is limited and I never could get it to work for testing.

### "Simple Stripe integration for WordPress sites"

March 27, 2020

5.0

I discovered in my own experience that Stripe is much better than PayPal. WooCommerce can be used to integrate WordPress sites with Stripe, but that is overboard in many cases. For a simple Stripe integration, I would highly recommend this plugin. I ended up paying for Pro. Their support team was also responsive, helpful, and friendly, so that's a plus as well.

Pros

The clean and intuitive interface, both on the front-end and back-end

Cons

There was only one challenge I had: when creating a form, there is no way to enter a descriptive line of text without attaching it to a "form field", e.g. radio button, checkbox, etc. I bypassed this limitation by writing the description for a "radio button", then used CSS to hide the radio buttons.

### "Great plugin for anything WP payments"

March 27, 2020

5.0

Great support and documentation

Pros

I have used this plugin for myself and clients and continue to recommend it. My background is in digital marketing and web development, and my clients are mostly coaches and consultants. Not only does it integrate with many different payment gateways, like Paypal and Stripe, it is so easy to use and customize. I would recommend this for any web developer or business that does not need a complex robust shopping cart but needs to have multiple kinds of payment scenarios, including subscriptions and payment plans.. Great plugin! Aaron

Cons

Nothing really- super easy to set up and customize.

Reason for choosing WP Simple Pay

Price, ease of use and ability to work with Stripe for my first client

### "Making the complicated simple"

April 3, 2020

5.0

I used Simply Pay as my previous solution (created by a very competent and experienced programmer became problematic as banks (and stripe) required the 2 step authentication for customers when they paid invoices on my website. WP Simple Pay enabled me to over come this simply and I have confidence that it will keep up with future changes.

Pros

I really liked how easy it was to create the form using the 'form display options' and the 'custom form fields' to tailor the form to the needs of my business. The way it interacts with my wordpress platform is seamless and feels a natural part of the wordpress environment.

Cons

It's ease of use and integration with my existing software means have I haven't got any issues.

### "Simple Website Payment Form Integration without extensive coding"

March 27, 2020

5.0

My experience has been nothing short of superb. I was able to create a web form in seconds, and integrate that into my website as an attractive front end for patient payments. Any questions that I had were quickly answered by the developer. To my knowledge, this is the one payment plug in that allowed for user defined payment amounts without linking payment to a tangible good. So it's the only one that would have worked for my needs. I've since recommended it to many of my colleagues who have used it their extreme satisfaction as well.

Pros

Most website payment methods assume that you are selling a tangible good. For someone like me who wanted to create a payment portal for my medical practice, it was difficult finding a system where the "price" was user defined and variable. WP Simple Pay understood that need and created a plug in which was flexible enough to allow for this non-traditional use of web payments.

Cons

Integration with other vendors aside from Stripe would be nice.

Reason for choosing WP Simple Pay

The ability to create a user defined amount without selling a good or service.

April 6, 2020

4.0

Fine while using and when no problems, but customer service was poor. They send you oodles of material to read to try to find your solution, but have no one to speak with to solve what should be simple solutions. So, if you want to spend hours researching what to do, this is your company.

Pros

I didn't even realize it was there while it was being used. Seamless once working correctly. While using it there were no problems, however, I discovered it was almost impossible to speak with anyone.

Cons

Customer service. It was impossible to speak with customer service.

April 6, 2020

5.0

WP Simple pay has been a great partner, they've helped us streamline our payment processing through our website and, in doing so, have saved us thousands each year over our previous payment solution.

Pros

WP Simple Pay was easy to setup and implement by someone who was only moderately skilled at Wordpress. It doesn't require a deep understanding of code to get up and running. Very quick and easy to get set up and receiving payments.

Cons

We had a few struggles down the line with some specific custom functionality we needed, but the WP Simple Pay team were there to help us and gave excellent customer support.

April 6, 2020

5.0

Pros

The ease of use which passes on to my customers has been huge. It's saved us so much time, as we were invoicing directly or taking payments over the phone before implementing this on our website.

Cons

The only thing that is a bit confusing is the way the form id number and the invoice number shows when I get emails notifying me of a payment. If I didn't know exactly how it has been set up, those numbers would mean nothing to me when I opened the email.
