Stripe Requirement FAQ #
StellarPay isn’t simply a payment gateway. It is a UI for interacting with your Stripe account, your Woo Subscriptions, and more. It relies on the latest technology from Stripe in order to both view and interact with your Stripe settings, payment details, subscription info and more.
Additionally, all of the enhanced payment method support that you get in your WooCommerce checkout relies heavily on the latest Stripe API.
If you don’t know which version of Stripe you are running, or need to update it, login to your Stripe account, go to your Profile settings, click on “Developers” and then enable the “Workbench”. This will show you what API version you are currently running and give you options to update it.
