What about GDPR Compliance?
-
Aside from their email address, this plugin stores absolutely no personally identifiable information about your users when they make a payment. No names, credit card information, IP addresses, nothing. Only emails are stored in WordPress core’s “users” table, and can be erased using WordPress’s normal erase-personal-data process. We recommend adding a note to your privacy policy stating that the only information recorded during a payment is the email address, and that all other data is handled by Stripe.com.
-
Does this plugin fully support 3DSecure and the SCA regulation in the EU?
-
Yes.
-
Where and how do I show the payment form on by website?
-
We typically recommend creating a new page called something like “Give”, and placing this shortcode on it [churchtithewp]. If you’d prefer it to open in a popup modal, use this shortcode:
[churchtithewp mode=”button” link_text=”Give Online” open_style=”in_modal”] -
Is there a discounted rate for non-profits?
-
If you have non-profit status, Stripe requests that you reach out to them to discuss this. See: https://support.stripe.com/questions/fee-discount-for-non-profit-organizations
