What’s new in Sell Media Stripe Addon 2.1.7
What it does
Sell Media is a plugin for selling photos, videos and other digital files from WordPress, and this addon gives it a Stripe checkout option. Many stores rely on PayPal redirects, which send buyers away from the site to pay and leave out customers in countries where PayPal is limited. With Stripe in place, anyone with a credit card can pay, and the checkout stays on your pages, which keeps the experience consistent with the rest of your store.
The addon requires the Sell Media plugin and works alongside its existing features, including file protection, pricing groups and discount codes. Setup does not call for coding, and a test mode lets you run practice transactions before switching to live mode. Live payments require SSL on your site, in line with Stripe's security requirements. Stripe also provides analytics and financial reporting, so you can follow sales and customer activity as your image store grows.
Best for
- Photographers selling prints and digital images
- Artists and creatives selling videos or digital files
- Sell Media stores wanting an alternative to PayPal
