We’re happy to announce the public availability of WP Full Stripe v6.0.2, our biggest and most important release ever.
This release brings many new features our customers have been asking for, and the plugin has received a much needed, complete makeover of the admin/dashboard UI as well.
Here are the section links if you’d like to jump to a particular feature:
The admin UI has received a complete makeover. It offers a new layout, and aggregates data previously scattered on many pages.
The new admin design is clean and consistent across the entire admin:
The biggest advantages of the new design are:
We’re committed to localizing the admin/dashboard UI of the plugin, the first translation is available in Japanese:
One-time payments used to work with custom products that could be defined in the plugin. It resulted in a subpar experience as the latest product features developed by Stripe couldn’t be used for one-time payments.
From now on, one-time payment forms utilize Stripe products. The products can be created on the Stripe dashboard, and then added to a form on the “Payment” tab:
The one-time product list is fetched from Stripe, it can be filtered, and then products selected and added to the form:
We’ve migrated our tax implementation to Stripe tax rates for one-time payments and subscriptions, providing a consistent experience across all form layouts (inline, checkout).
In this release, only exclusive tax rates are supported, inclusive tax rates will be supported in one of the next plugin releases.
Tax settings can be configured on the “Tax” tab of one-time payment and subscription forms:
The following options are available:
Dynamic tax rates picked by the built-in algorithm can be overridden by implementing a Wordpress filter on inline forms. This can be used to implement VAT rules for business buyers in the EU, for example. For more details, please consult our developer documentation.
This release of WP Full Stripe adds coupon support for one-time payments and subscriptions, in both inline and checkout form layouts.
Forms can accept coupons by turning on the “Show coupon field?” option on the “Form fields” tab:
Inline forms can accept coupons and promotional codes as well, checkout forms accept promotional codes only.
The plugin has many improvements in the email notifications department. It’s also the area where we have a lot of developments already in the pipeline.
The notifications ‘From’ address and any number of CC addresses can be configured:
The ‘Email templates’ configuration page has a new layout which makes room for new email templates. Placeholder tokens can be inserted into the subject and body of email templates:
The ‘Insert token’ dialog lets users search among the placeholder tokens supported by the email template in question:
Email notifications have become a first-class citizens, they’ve got a dedicated tab on every form. Email notification templates can be turned on/off per form:
We’ve added new placeholder tokens, please refer to the Using placeholder tokens article for more information.
The Customer portal has got a dedicated settings page on which upgrading/downgrading subscriptions by customers can also be enabled:
When upgrading/dowgrading subscriptions is enabled, customers can change the subscription plan (and quantity) on the Customer portal page:
WP Full Stripe v6.0 has a new webhook endpoint which has a lower chance of being blocked by security plugins. The legacy webhook endpoint is still supported but we’d encourage our customers to set up the new endpoint in Stripe. Make sure that only one webhook endpoint is set up per API mode (one for test, and one for live).
We’ve reworked the ‘Stripe settings’ page to show when the last webhook event was received, and showing the overall health of the webhook endpoint:
Stripe doesn’t create invoices for one-time payments by default. However, issuing invoices for all payments is a requirement in many business scenarios - doing business in the EU comes to mind as an example.
Starting in WP Full Stripe v6.0, invoices are created for all one-time payments.
It also means the following placeholder tokens are available on one-time payment and subscription forms as well:
Now you can clone forms on the “Manage forms” page! Just press the “Clone” action next to the form:
Pressing the “Clone” action brings up the dialog:
For the Business, Agency, and Unlimited licensing packages, it’s now possible to activate all licenses with a single click on a Wordpress multisite network.
Some requirements have changed, you need the following technologies to run WP Full Stripe v6.0.2+:
WP Full Stripe v6.0 is not 100% compatible with previous versions. Depending on the features you’re using, there are some steps you need to carry out in order to get up and running.
One-time payment forms now use Stripe products instead of custom legacy products, so you’d need to do the following:
Even though the plugin still uses Stripe recurring products just as did before, due to major changes, you’d need to do the following:
Based on feedback from our customers, we’ve redesigned most of the Wordpress actions and filters the plugin is using. It means that your existing integrations won’t work, you’ll need to change your code to use the new action and filter signatures.
For more details, please refer to our integration article in our knowledge base.
Please contact us if you run into any issue.
