Hi there,
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback.
I’d like to clarify a few points about WooPayments. While it’s true that WooPayments is built in partnership with Stripe, it’s designed specifically for WooCommerce stores and offers some distinct advantages:
- Pricing: WooPayments offers competitive rates that are the same as, and in some cases better than, using Stripe directly, with no additional “middleman” fees on top.
- Native integration: WooPayments is built into your WooCommerce dashboard, so you can manage payments, deposits, disputes, and reporting without leaving your store’s admin area.
- Multi-currency and local payment methods: Built-in support for selling in multiple currencies and accepting popular local payment methods.
We’re continuously improving the plugin based on merchant feedback, so if you’ve encountered any specific bugs, we’d genuinely appreciate hearing the details so we can address them.
That said, we understand every store has different needs, and Stripe’s standalone plugin is a solid choice if it works better for your setup.
