Buggy

    The plugin does what it says (used it for Stripe donations) but is quite buggy. E.g. returning from the Stripe page after canceling the donation messes up the “donation was canceled” page.

    CSS customization is also a pain in the a** due to lack of properly classed HTML elements. Lots of jQuery tricks needed to get this done. Why are the developers using the same identifier for multiple HTML elements? Seems like lack of understanding…

    The de_DE translation (at least) is only halfway done. Tried Loco Translate to fix it but many phrases didn’t show up there. Touching the plugin’s source code or using JS to replace the texts isn’t update-safe.

    I’ve dropped this plugin.

    It always seems so unfair when users poorly rate a product without first reaching out to the developer.

    In any case, I haven’t had any other Stripe reports of this nature. If the reviewer would provide steps to reproduce, I’d try to see what’s happening. But it’s probably easier just to slam a developer in a review. Why not? It’s not like I donate my time to provide a free plugin. Oh, yeah. Actually, I do.

    As for the CSS, my guess is the user used the legacy Classic form, which does, in fact, use relatively poor CSS and has since I adopted the plugin. There is a Modern style form that has higher quality CSS. The legacy Classic form still ships because I don’t want anyone’s site to break because I fixed some legacy CSS. That’s called responsible plugin management. But, alas, the user didn’t ask and so struggled mightily.

    I am sorry about the lack of a German translation. My high school didn’t offer German as a possible language, so I’m stuck with speaking only English (and about 20 programming languages). If there are German speakers out there who wish to do a translation update, feel free to reach out via https://zatzlabs.com/submit-ticket/ and I’ll help out.

    And, in fact, that’s my message to anyone who reads my response to this review. I’m here every day, including holiday weekends. I try to answer everybody who needs help. So, if you need help, ask.

    Or, sure, write a “this is s#!t” review. Because that’s so much more satisfying and unhelpful.
