Update: Changed rating from 2 to 1 star. The developer doesn't seem to maintain this plugin anymore. No answers on reported issues anymore!! I opened an issue three months ago and there wasn't any reply until now. The same goes for issues opened by others. So I am wondering if this plugin is still maintained. The plugin is compatible up to WP version 5.6.4 while I am meanwhile running 5.7.2. I am getting annyoing deprecated message due to that and had to install the plugin "Enable jQuery Migrate Helper" just to avoid issues. It seems that now for 5 months there was no activity at all. This could get serious for a plugin that handles payment.
