Stripe Payment Extension v1.0.3 with AbanteCart 1.3.2

[Tony Chavarria]

Hello,

I'm currently running AbanteCart version 1.3.2 and reviewing the built-in Stripe Payment extension (Version 1.0.3).

To clarify my current setup:
Up to now, I have not been using the Stripe Payment extension to process payments directly. Instead, I've been using an extension that collects card information at checkout, and I've been manually entering payments into Stripe on the back end. I'm now looking to streamline operations by moving to fully automated Stripe payment processing using the Stripe Payment extension.

Before making that transition, I wanted to check with the community:

Is Stripe Payment v1.0.3 still considered a reliable and appropriate option for AbanteCart 1.3.2 for direct card processing?

Are there any known caveats or limitations (Stripe API changes, SCA/3DS handling, receipt behavior, etc.) I should be aware of when moving from manual to automated Stripe payments?

If the extension is functioning correctly, is there any practical reason to upgrade or replace it, or is it reasonable to continue using it as-is?

Are there any Stripe-side changes, past or upcoming, that could impact this extension even if AbanteCart itself remains unchanged?

For context, this is a production store using Stripe for standard one-time card payments only (no subscriptions or advanced payment flows). Stability, compliance, and reduced operational overhead are the primary goals.

Any insight from developers or long-time AbanteCart users would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello.
The most important point in your case is actually the current workflow. Collecting card details at checkout and then manually entering them into Stripe later is not safe and not PCI-DSS compliant, even if the data is handled carefully.

From that perspective alone, moving to the official Stripe Payment extension is the correct and safer choice.The Stripe Payment extension ensures that Card data is handled by Stripe, not your server

Hi Basara, thanks for your reponse. If you happen to know or if anyone else knows is this Stripe Payment extension (Version 1.0.3) compatible with all versions of AbanteCart? Will I need to use Stripe webhooks or any settings and programming that will add sting in setting it up?

Thank you in advance!
