What Is Gravity Flow Stripe Extension?
Gravity Flow Stripe Extension is developed by Gravity Flow and is an automation plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the automation category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for optimizing business processes. The extension bridges the gap between form submission and payment finalization.
It solves the problem of disconnected financial and administrative tasks by allowing payments to be held until specific approvals are met. This is ideal for pre-orders, service bookings that require manual verification, or subscription-based sites.
Gravity Flow Stripe Extension Features
The feature set is built around providing granular control over the timing and status of Stripe transactions during a multi-step workflow.
Payment Authorization and Capture
The plugin allows workflows to authorize payments during the initial form submission without immediately charging the customer. This enables “pre-order” scenarios where steps like User Input or Approval must occur before the funds are actually taken. The Capture Payment step then collects the authorized payment at the exact point in the automation where it is required.
Automated Refunds and Cancellations
Administrators can add Refund Payment and Cancel Payment steps to any part of the process. The Refund Payment step supports transactions made for the current entry or any Stripe transaction made by another form on the site. If an approval is rejected, the Cancel Payment step voids the authorization automatically, preventing the merchant from paying unnecessary transaction fees on uncaptured funds.
Subscription Management
The Stripe Extension includes a dedicated Cancel Subscription step to manage recurring payments. It can process cancellations for the current entry or a different entry, helping automate the offboarding or termination phase of a customer lifecycle. It also introduces a Subscription ID field in the Gravity Forms editor for easier tracking.

Authorize a payment when a client requests a service, then trigger the actual capture only after an employee reviews the schedule and approves the task via the automation engine.
Automated Refund Processing
Include a refund step in a return-merchandise workflow so that as soon as a warehouse worker marks an item as received, the refund is triggered without manual intervention in the Stripe dashboard.
Agencies and Developers Managing Multiple Client Sites
