The Simple Shopping Cart plugin includes an option to send automated receipt and invoice emails directly from Stripe to customers after a successful transaction. This feature is specifically available for customers who complete their purchase through the Stripe payment gateway.
How to Enable Automated Stripe Receipts and Invoices
To enable automated receipts and invoices, follow these two steps to configure both your Stripe account and the Simple Shopping Cart plugin settings.
Step 1: Configure Your Stripe Dashboard
First, log into your Stripe Dashboard and follow these steps:
- Navigate to the Customer Emails settings menu (Settings > Business > Customer Emails).
- Under the Payments section, toggle on the Successful payments option.
Step 2: Configure Simple Shopping Cart
Next, update the settings within your WordPress site:
- Go to the Simple Cart menu and navigate to the Stripe Settings tab.
- Locate the checkbox labeled Auto Send Receipt and Invoices.
- Check the box to enable the feature and click Save Changes.
How It Works
Once these settings are active, every customer who successfully completes a transaction via the Stripe gateway will automatically receive a receipt email from Stripe immediately after their payment is processed.
