If you’re looking for a neat solution when hooking Contact Form 7 up to Stripe, this is the plug-in for you. Easy to configure and code around with simple integration. Ideal for coding situations where you don’t want heaps of unwanted, bloated calibration and perfunctory features. Props to Troy for continuing support and assistance.
