External Services
This plugin connects to the Stripe API to create and manage payment authorization holds (pre-authorizations) on behalf of the store owner.
Stripe API
- Service: Stripe payment processing
- Endpoint: https://api.stripe.com
- Data transmitted: payment method data is collected and processed by Stripe.js and Stripe’s servers. This plugin stores the following Stripe object IDs locally in the WordPress database for authorization hold management: PaymentIntent ID, Customer ID, and PaymentMethod ID. Order amount, currency, and order ID are also transmitted to Stripe as PaymentIntent parameters.
- Stripe Terms of Service: https://stripe.com/tos
- Stripe Privacy Policy: https://stripe.com/privacy
Deactivation feedback (optional)
When the plugin is deactivated, an optional feedback form appears in the WordPress admin. If the form is submitted, the following data is sent by email to support@secureholdwp.com: site URL, plugin version, deactivation reason, and any additional details provided. Submission is entirely optional. Clicking “Skip and Deactivate” deactivates the plugin without sending any data.

Changelog
3.4.3
- Fix: product and category deposit rules created by the Rule Engine no longer stay active after the Rule Engine becomes unavailable — deposit calculation now correctly falls back to the global rule in that case.
- Fix: existing product and category rules are preserved and automatically resume being applied once the Rule Engine is available again; no rule data is lost.
- Removed: the legacy per-product “Security Deposit” tab on the WooCommerce product edit screen, which had no effect on the deposit amount actually applied at checkout.
- Fix: the Capture button on the WooCommerce order edit screen (classic and HPOS) now correctly opens the capture dialog; it previously had no effect.
- Improvement: the capture dialog markup is now shared between the order screen and the Deposits admin page instead of being duplicated.
- Fix: deposit amounts shown in the order timeline no longer display raw HTML markup.
- Add: the deposit notice now also displays on the WooCommerce Cart & Checkout Blocks checkout, not only the classic checkout.
- Removed: an unused legacy order metabox class and its companion script, superseded by the current metabox implementation.
3.4.2
- Maintenance release. Improved compatibility with WordPress 6.8 and WooCommerce 9.x.
1.0.0
