Beskrivelse
NoShow Deposit Payments connects Contact Form 7 with Stripe so you can collect a deposit after a form submission instead of charging the full amount upfront.
The plugin lets you choose a Contact Form 7 form, map a service/price field, redirect the customer to Stripe Checkout, and store completed payments in WordPress for later review.
It is designed for service businesses — consultations, beauty appointments, coaching sessions, and any workflow where you want to secure a reservation with a partial payment.
This plugin requires Contact Form 7. If CF7 is not installed and active, the plugin will display an admin notice reminding you to install it. The deposit flow will not trigger until CF7 is active.
Core Features (Free)
- Collect a configurable deposit percentage via Stripe after Contact Form 7 submission.
- Choose which CF7 form triggers the deposit flow.
- Map a service/price field to a pricing list you control.
- Redirect customers to Stripe Checkout after a valid submission.
- Store every completed payment in a searchable WordPress payments log.
- Send branded confirmation emails to customers and admin notifications.
- Optional SMTP configuration for improved email deliverability.
- Stripe webhook support — payments are confirmed asynchronously.
- Meeting date/time detection for booking-based workflows.
- Refund payments directly from the WordPress admin (within the refund window).
- Configurable refund cutoff — set how many hours before the meeting refunds are allowed.
Pro Features
- Slot booking system — create recurring weekly time slots with capacity control.
- Double-booking prevention — slots are reserved at checkout and confirmed on payment, so the same slot can never be booked twice.
- Slot management calendar — view, block, and manually book slots from the WordPress admin.
- Analytics dashboard — revenue charts, booking trends, and payment summaries.
- Priority email support.
How It Works
- Install and activate the plugin (Contact Form 7 must be active first).
- Go to NoShow Payments Settings and paste your Stripe Secret Key.
- Auto-create the Stripe webhook with one click.
- Map your CF7 service field and pricing list.
- Choose which form triggers the deposit — or leave blank to apply to all forms.
- Customers fill in the form, get redirected to Stripe, pay the deposit, and receive a confirmation email.

Ofte stilte spørsmål
-
Does this plugin require Contact Form 7?
-
Yes. If CF7 is not installed and active, the plugin will show an admin notice prompting you to install it. The deposit payment flow will not function until CF7 is active, but the plugin itself stays activated so you do not lose your settings.
-
Which Stripe API keys do I need?
-
You need your Secret Key (starts with
sk_live_orsk_test_). The webhook secret is generated automatically when you click «Auto-create Webhook». -
Can I test without real payments?
-
Yes. Use your Stripe test keys (
sk_test_…) and Stripe’s test card numbers. -
What happens to the CF7 confirmation email?
-
The plugin suppresses CF7’s default email on the deposit form and sends its own email only after Stripe confirms payment via webhook.
-
Can I customise the confirmation email?
-
Yes — the subject line and full HTML body are editable in Settings. Tokens like
{customer_email},{deposit_amount}, and{booking_details}are available.
