I’ve noticed a few of my WooCommerce sites running this plugin have become painfully slow in the backend—taking 20+ seconds to load pages, open plugins, or edit a product. Disabling Stripe brings everything back to normal. I’m submitting a support ticket, but in the meantime, I’d recommend avoiding the Stripe plugin if you want to maintain a responsive backend experience. And no, I’m not using cheap shared hosting—this is a top-tier VPS. I hope they can improve the performance, as it’s otherwise a well-designed plugin that’s easy to set up and use. UPDATE: Recent plugin update (9.4.1) has improved backend speed so I have adjusted my star rating to reflect this.

On 17th April 2025 the new update slowed down all sites I used the plugin, and I could not enable the payment methods—I tried to re-enable them 10 times. Replaced with a 5-star plugin from another developer.

This morning I installed version 9.4.0, and after that, the website literally stopped working. On one hand, everything became extremely slow, and on the other, the Stripe payment option completely disappeared from the checkout. In my opinion, the developers have seriously messed things up. Тhe plugin urgently needs to be revised.

My site was slowed to a crawl, 15-20 seconds for a product page to load. Ran through all the checks. The last thing I suspected was it to be a plugin I needed to make a sale. After deactivating the Stripe plugin the site returned to normal, so I fired up the CC payments by PayPal and carried on. I have had no issues for the past several years, but I run a business and don’t have the luxury of waiting for these things to be sorted.

Support is actually making a good job of making this plugin work in various contexts, which is not easy given the amount of configurations that exist. However, I’d like to see more testing upon each update, and releases early in the week rather than at the end of the week, especially for a payment plugin. Just a bit more organization and to me it’ll be 5 stars!

After the transaction succeed on checkout page, the user is not redirected to success page but remains on checkout page. This means that user can make another transaction since he is not sure. It is possible to make as many transactions as you wish. So, we must return money to customers bank accounts constantly.
