    Hi Stephen,

    We have the Stripe add-on configured for a client, and I note your description of the Stripe add-on specifically mentions PCI compliance isn’t needed.

    Looking at the front-end payment fields, the inputs aren’t in small iframes as I’ve seen elsewhere for ‘hosted payment’ add-ons.

    Out of all the plugin authors we work with, I’d take your word on this over anyone’s – I just wanted to check there wasn’t an option I’d missed to toggle the way it operates (hosted vs pulling in iframes from Stripe’s servers)?

    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Apologies I missed this forum post, but PCI compliance is handled by the Steipe library.

    The way it works is that the payment details entered are sent straight from the browser to Stripe which responds with a token, that token is all that is sent to your servers and is used to charge the card.

    So in short no credit card details are sent to your server

    Hi Stephen, please ignore this thread now, it was my mistake.

    We were looking at an older version of the Stripe plugin on a different client’s site, and it didn’t have the iframes.

    We purchased another licence for the recent client, and this one does have the iframes as one would expect, so all good.

    Thanks for your help.
