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.
