One-time payments let you charge a customer once through Stripe Checkout. They are useful for services, digital products, consultations, event tickets, setup fees, deposits, and any purchase that does not renew automatically.

PayPress sends customers to Stripe Checkout to complete payment securely. Stripe Checkout handles card entry, supported payment methods, authentication, and payment confirmation. PayPress then uses Stripe webhooks to create or update the local WordPress order.

The success page gives customers a clear confirmation after Stripe Checkout. PayPress can display a professional order confirmation using the order information from the checkout session that just completed.

Customer Notes let you collect a short message from the customer during checkout. Notes are stored on the order, not on the customer profile or subscription.

PayPress displays Stripe receipt and invoice links when Stripe provides them. These links help customers and merchants access payment documents without searching through the Stripe Dashboard.

Failed payments happen when Stripe cannot complete a payment attempt. This can be caused by declined cards, expired cards, insufficient funds, authentication failures, or payment method problems.

Testing payments helps confirm that checkout, orders, webhooks, receipts, forms, refunds, donations, and subscriptions work before customers use the site.
