 Hi,
I have the latest version of your plugin installed on my website. Today i say Stripe has new API version. Is it safe to update my stripe API version?

Hello Nikolay,

Thank you for using our Stripe plugin for VirtueMart. The API version depends on the library shipped with the code (aka our Stripe plugin). Most of the time, new version of the API adds new features, and Stripe did a lot for their Subscription, Connect and Relay products.

However, for the Payments product, which is the one we use for this plugin, no major changes in term of useful features for VirtueMart context.
https://stripe.com/docs/upgrades

Finally, as the recent API versions in their PHP libraries have some major changes that break backward compatibility, I will update the libraries shipped with the plugin with a major version also.

Please let me know if you a more detailed question.
Kind regards,
Hervé

So your answer is "Don't update till i update the plugin" ?

Hello again,

Yes, the short answer, if you are talking about the Stripe Dashboard update options, is do not update.

Do not get me wrong: we are talking about an API, not about a stand alone software.

The long answer is: it depends on your circumstances. Update if you really need it for other reasons. And if you really know what you are doing (further reading to previous stripe.com link). And as wisely used in the IT and online software:
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
So I strongly suggest to ask "Why do I need to update the API?"

The support of the Stripe plugin for VirtueMart does not include support for all your Stripe.com activities (however it can be provided as an extra).

Kind regards,
Hervé

Reviews for Stripe for VirtueMart

Functionality

Once you go through the documentation and try out the settings (and don't forget to test it with a "test item", it works like a dream.

Ease of use

Very easy to use, though a little play with the settings may be needed to get an understanding of the system. And you need a stripe account.

Support

Best support ever. Hervé has been very patient and kind and helped me greatly when the Stripe plugin no longer spoke with the new updates.

Documentation

Documentation is very good. You do need a Stripe account, and you need a little "try out" time to get it all in place.

Value for money

Yes, very much value for money. The plugin, Hervé's support, the easy for the customers to use it. It is all worth it.

I used this to: I use it for my IMRF Bookshop: imrfbookshop(.)org. People can now pay by credit/debit card, Paypal (different plugin) and they can request an invoice and pay by bank transfer.
Owner's reply: Thanks a Million for your excellent review! This means a lot to me. And on a early Tuesday morning, you not only you made my day, but you made my whole week! Please accept my sincere gratitude for your feedback and for your trust in my services.

This plugin is great! At first I couldn't get it to work with my install of joomla and virtuemart--but the great tech support from Puma-it (Herve) did real right by me, helping me to quickly resolve the problem and get this up and working on my site. Thanks Herve for your great Code and keep up the great work!

Owner's reply: Thank you Sethtc for sharing your review on my plugin and support services! That is the first review, so I feel very proud. Serving our customers as best as we can is rewarding, I know it!
