WP Simple Pay is one of the best WordPress Stripe plugins that let you easily accept payments with WordPress. Unlike a typical Stripe plugin, WP Simple Pay enables you to make the most of the Stripe payment gateway.

  • Drag and drop form builder: Easily build a payment form with our intuitive payment form builder
  • Tons of built-in templates: Never start from scratch, thanks to our built-in form templates library
  • Automatic taxes: Collect taxes based on customer location along with the payment

Aside from these features, WP Simple Pay comes bundled with Activity & Reports, giving you a bird’s eye view of your business performance.

The Activity & Reports screen gives you a snapshot of the total payments you collected for the day. In addition, you can also get an overview of the latest 10 payments you receive through the Stripe forms you published on your website.

Simply put, this overview report shows you what is happening on your website at the moment in terms of payments.

In addition to the overview report, you can view your historical payment data too.
