Accepting credit cards online used to be challenging and expensive. Stripe, Inc changed that by launching a payment processing platform that was built for developers, making it easy for programmers to create and launch their own tools to accept payments online.
WP Simple Pay was created in 2014 to provide site owners a simple, fast way to start collecting one-time and recurring credit card payments on their WordPress-powered websites. Today it is the highest rated and most used WordPress plugin for Stripe payments.
