What Is Ninja Forms Stripe?
Ninja Forms Stripe is developed by Ninja Forms and is a payments plugin for WordPress. It serves as a bridge between the core Ninja Forms plugin and the Stripe payment gateway. It belongs to the payments category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for financial transactions.
The plugin solves the problem of needing a heavy shopping cart for simple sales or recurring billing. It is designed for business owners who want to accept secure payments through a familiar form-building interface.
Ninja Forms Stripe Features
The feature set is built around providing a PCI-compliant payment experience without writing code.
Comprehensive Payment Methods
Stripe supports every payment method enabled in your account, including major credit cards and digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay. Users can also process bank debits such as ACH, BACS, and SEPA. This diversity helps reduce friction at checkout by offering regional payment methods like iDEAL and Sofort directly within the payments workflow.
Recurring Billing and Subscriptions
The extension supports recurring subscription plans directly from form submissions. You can reference specific Plan IDs from your Dashboard to automate billing cycles. Optional trial periods can be configured to allow customers to test services before being charged. The integration handles the initial setup, while Stripe manages subsequent renewals in the background.
Flexible Pricing Logic
Administrators can set fixed product prices or use calculation fields to generate variable totals. For fundraising, the plugin allows users to enter their own custom amounts for donations. It also supports discount codes, letting you verify and apply coupons before the transaction is sent to the gateway.
Advanced Metadata and Confirmations
The plugin passes product details such as name, image, and description to your account for better record-keeping. Merge tags allow you to use transaction data in automated email receipts and success messages. This ensures that shipping details and customer information are accurately recorded alongside the payment amount.
Pricing
Retail pricing for the extension starts at $49 for a single site, or it is included in the Pro membership plans. Check current pricing on the Stripe sales page — WPExclusive members access it as part of their plan.

Use Cases
Non-Profit Fundraising

Subscription Service Billing
Businesses selling access to software or content can use the plugin to map form fields to specific subscription tiers. This simplifies the onboarding process by combining registration data and payment collection into a single step.
Event Registration Commissions
Coordinators can use calculation fields to determine total costs based on the number of attendees or selected workshops. The plugin processes these calculated totals immediately, securing the registration fee upon form submission.
Agencies and Developers Managing Multiple Client Sites
Agencies can standardize their payment collection workflow across various clients without purchasing individual licenses for every project. A WPExclusive membership provides the flexibility to deploy premium payment forms on unlimited client environments.
