Stripe Checkout Payment Gateway for OpenCart

Stripe Checkout is a free OpenCart payment extension that allows you to accept secure online payments using Stripe’s hosted checkout page. Instead of handling sensitive card data within your store, customers are redirected to a Stripe-managed payment page for a smooth and secure transaction experience.

This is an ideal solution for store owners who want a fast, reliable, and low-maintenance Stripe integration without complex setup or compliance overhead.

This extension follows a structured and tested payment flow, including webhook verification, order validation, and secure transaction handling as outlined in the internal testing checklist
