Start with how to evaluate payment gateway plugins.
Who this is for
- Merchants whose processor paperwork names CardStream Hosted Form, with API credentials matching the integration type on this product page.
- Easy Digital Downloads stores on HTTPS checkout, ready to sandbox-test before live keys.
- Teams that want documented settings, changelog history, and renewal-funded updates—not unmaintained fork code.
Who should skip (disqualifiers)
- You are not on CardStream Hosted Form, or your boarding package requires a different integration than this extension documents.
- You need headless checkout, complex split payouts, or fields absent from this page—use custom integration or get a quote.
- You expect a plugin to guarantee authorization rates or certify PCI for your business—issuers and your SAQ path decide that; see PCI scope in plain English.
Dream outcome
CardStream Hosted Form-boarded stores: reliable checkout, refunds, and order/payment records in Easy Digital Downloads admin—without stale fork code or launch-weekend fire drills.
Obstacles → what this plugin addresses
| Obstacle (from support & go-lives) | How this extension helps |
|---|---|
| Digital checkout breaks after EDD or PHP updates | Maintained extension aligned to EDD payment hooks. |
| Processor mismatch on the MID | Confirm CardStream Hosted Form boarding matches this SKU. |
Proof & documentation
Less time and effort for your team
- Standard settings screen for keys, transaction mode, and display options as documented on this product page.
- Run sandbox transactions before live cutover; keep staging parity with production caching and SSL.
- Optional plugin installation support for scoped go-live help.
Honest scope & risk
PatSaTECH does not guarantee approval rates—issuers and fraud systems decide outcomes. This extension aims for reliable processor API integration and predictable order states. Confirm international and MCC-specific behavior with your processor. Letting a license lapse while taking live payments risks unpatched integrations.
Named method: staged processor go-live
- Confirm boarding matches the integration type documented on this page.
- Install on staging; enter sandbox credentials.
- Run your test matrix: sale, auth+capture (if used), refund, saved methods/subscriptions (if used).
- Switch to live keys; monitor first-day orders and gateway logs.
