Stripe?

Last year, there were several discussions that new payment gateways, including Stripe will be added in the next release.
Is Stripe still on plan?

Thank-you for your inquiry.

Integration with Stripe is still on our todo list for the next major version of s2Member. We do not have a set deadline for when this version of s2Member will be available yet, but we’re hoping to have it available by mid 2013.

Not for nothing Bruce, but Stripe should be at the top of the list. We’ve been waiting for quite long time. We keep hearing about but not seeing it. Don’t get me wrong, I love s2Member, but I keep seeing the other Membership plugins making advancements in their functionalities and they already have stripe integration. I’m at the crossroads of trying to figure out whether or not I should pay $300 – $400 to have someone create a stripe plugin for my s2Member sites, or just pay $100 – $200 for another membership plugin that already has stripe…..I shouldn’t be at that kind of crossroads…I really shouldn’t.

I’m not trying to talk trash, but honestly, nobody knows the s2member core and API like you guys do and I would think that you guys would WANT TO have the most developer friendly merchant processor in your corner.

Please consider either adding a plugin add-on for stripe, or getting s2member core to accept right away. Even if you guys made it an add-on plugin and charged us an extra $25 for it. You’ve already got at least 20 people on the forums asking for it. Those 20 alone would be worth about $500, not to mention the people who use s2member and search the forums only to sigh in the end, yet don’t leave a comment, as they feel/know it’s not worth their time to voice their opinion.

I have around 10 pending projects that that I want to do that need stripe, and 3 existing projects that I would like to switch to stripe. So it’s either pay a dev with the spare time to learn your API and create a stripe add-on plugin, or just spend a few hours exporting my members and restructuring my sites on a new membership plugin and say good-bye to s2Member. I like s2Member, but I NEED stripe. I spent 2 months researching membership plugins for WP before picking you guys. I was hesitant to choose s2member b/c of no stripe support, but was reassured when I read forum posts last spring stating that stripe integration was right around the corner…..a year later is not exactly right around the corner…know what I mean.

Thanks for the feedback. It is appreciated :-)

@Jason …..I appreciate your “thankfulness”. And I mean no disrespect, but I’m kind of looking for an answer to where to go with this next. Please advise.

Thanks for your reply :-)

I’m not giving out any release dates. If you need Stripe support right away, I would suggest going with a different software application. I don’t see this happening anytime real soon with s2Member®.
