External Services

This plugin uses the Stripe API to create and confirm Payment Intents and loads Stripe.js (Elements) from Stripe.com to securely collect payment details for donations.

Information required to interact with Stripe:

• Publishable Key (pk_test_* or pk_live_*) – Initializes Stripe.js on the frontend.
• Secret Key (sk_test_* or sk_live_*) – Creates and confirms Payment Intents from the server.
• Amount & Currency – The donation total and currency for the Payment Intent.
• Metadata (optional) – Campaign and donation identifiers to reconcile payments.
• Donor Name & Email (optional) – Included only if the donor is not anonymous.

How it’s used:

• The plugin creates a Payment Intent (amount, currency, optional metadata) and loads Stripe.js to securely collect card details.
• The Payment Intent is confirmed; on success, the donation is recorded with the Stripe transaction ID.

This plugin does not store card numbers. For details, see:

• Stripe Terms of Service
• Stripe Privacy Policy

Privacy

• Anonymous donations: when donors choose the anonymous option, name and email are not stored.
• For non-anonymous donations, donor name and email may be stored in donation records for receipts/reporting.
• Payment card details are never sent to or stored on your server. Stripe Elements (hosted by Stripe) handles card data.
