Perfect for:

External Services

This plugin connects to the Stripe API to create and manage payment authorization holds (pre-authorizations) on behalf of the store owner.

Stripe API

• Service: Stripe payment processing
• Endpoint: https://api.stripe.com
• Data transmitted: payment method data is collected and processed by Stripe.js and Stripe’s servers. This plugin stores the following Stripe object IDs locally in the WordPress database for authorization hold management: PaymentIntent ID, Customer ID, and PaymentMethod ID. Order amount, currency, and order ID are also transmitted to Stripe as PaymentIntent parameters.
• Stripe Terms of Service: https://stripe.com/tos
• Stripe Privacy Policy: https://stripe.com/privacy

Deactivation feedback (optional)

When the plugin is deactivated, an optional feedback form appears in the WordPress admin. If the form is submitted, the following data is sent by email to support@secureholdwp.com: site URL, plugin version, deactivation reason, and any additional details provided. Submission is entirely optional. Clicking « Skip and Deactivate » deactivates the plugin without sending any data.
