This plugin connects the Stripe payment gateway to a site running the Easy Digital Downloads platform, enabling the sale of digital products. It is designed for creators and small businesses who need a straightforward way to accept online payments without incurring additional processing fees from the gateway itself.

• Direct Stripe Connection: The integration is built directly into the platform. Setting up payments involves clicking a connect button in the settings to link an existing or new Stripe account, with no code required.
• Multiple Payment Methods: Accepts credit and debit cards, digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay, and Buy Now Pay Later options. Payments are completed on your own site, keeping customers in your checkout flow.
• Subscription Management: Supports recurring payments for products like software licenses or memberships. You can configure billing schedules and offer free trials to automate customer retention.
• Fraud Prevention Tools: Includes an early fraud warning system. You can receive notifications for potentially fraudulent transactions flagged by Stripe, allowing you to review and refund them before a chargeback occurs.
• Integrated Refunds and Pre-orders: Process refunds for Stripe transactions directly from your site's dashboard with one click. A pre-approval feature also allows you to collect payment information for pre-orders and manually capture the charges later.
