Description
Changing consumer behavior has resulted in an explosion of payment methods and experiences, which are great for increasing conversion and lowering costs—but can be difficult for businesses to maintain. Give customers a best-in-class checkout experience while you remain focused on your core business. This is the official plugin created by Stripe and WooCommerce.
Drive 11.9% in revenue with an optimized checkout experience from Stripe
The enhanced checkout experience from Stripe can help customers:
- Boost conversion: Provide an optimal experience across mobile, tablet, and desktop with a responsive checkout, and offer 23 payment methods, including Link, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, out of the box.

Deliver a localized payment experience with out-of-the-box support for localized error messages, right-to-left languages, and automatic adjustment of input fields based on payment method and country.
- Meet existing customer demand and localize the experience: Offer local payment methods, such as ACH Direct Debit, Bacs Direct Debit, Bancontact, BECS Direct Debit, BLIK, Boleto, Cash App Pay, EPS, iDEAL, Multibanco, OXXO, Pre-authorized debit payments, Przelewy 24, and SEPA Direct Debit.
- Fight fraud: Detect and prevent fraud with Stripe Radar, which offers seamlessly integrated, powerful fraud-detection tools that use machine learning to detect and flag potentially fraudulent transactions.
- Accept in-person payments for products and services: Use the Stripe Terminal M2 card reader or get started with no additional hardware using Tap to Pay on iPhone, or Tap to Pay on Android.
- Support subscriptions: Support recurring payments with various payment methods via WooCommerce Subscriptions.
- Manage cash flow: Get paid within minutes with Stripe Instant Payouts, if eligible.

* Update – Enable Adaptive Pricing by default for new installs
* Add – Filter wc_stripe_optimized_checkout_title to override the Optimized Checkout payment method title at checkout
Important Fixes and Updates
* Update – Remove deprecated backend methods that called wc_deprecated_function
* Add – Display a bank authorization notice for Pre-Authorized Debit (ACSS) payments on checkout

* Fix – Store Stripe Terminal IPP channel metadata on orders so WooCommerce can identify POS payments and suppress standard transactional emails
* Fix – Cancel pending WC Subscriptions retry when Stripe Radar blocks a renewal payment so further automatic retries do not re-trigger the same Radar block
* Fix – Stale saved-card metadata after updating a card’s expiry or CVC
* Fix – Prevent fatal error in wp-admin from overly narrow argument type
* Update – Improve the behaviour for the Optimized Checkout Suite and Adaptive Pricing settings

* Add – Add Agentic Commerce admin dashboard for monitoring product feed sync status, history, errors, and triggering manual syncs

* Fix – Stop Agentic Commerce checkout.session.completed orders from failing on null WC sessions or shipping rates that don’t match any configured WC method
* Fix – Detect Agentic Commerce sessions via payment_intent.agent_details so their checkout.session.completed webhooks aren’t skipped

* Fix – Look up products by SKU in Agentic Commerce manual approval and tax calculation flows
* Dev – Rename payment request references to express checkout
* Dev – Reduce PR PHP test matrix from 30 to 12 jobs (PHP 7.4, 8.2, 8.5; WC/WP at L and L-2) for faster CI feedback
