This module is newer than the original Stripe payment method. It has a few new features, but also some restrictions.
This was likely the most complicated integration we’ve ever had to do. We’ve done our best to test every possibility, but there are a lot. So, if you choose to use this new module, keep an eye on things. If you or any of your customers have any issues, switch back to the regular Stripe module and email us with as much detail as you can about what went wrong.
The main reason for creating this module was to support the new security measures required by many European credit card providers (“3D Secure” and “Strong Customer Authentication (SCA)”). These cards basically require additional steps to authorize a charge. We’ve seen this also come up with cards issued by US banks, but they’re not requiring these additional steps (yet).
If you’re based in Europe or the UK, or sell regularly to people there, you may want to switch to this new module.
There are also other reasons for switching, regardless of where you or your customers live…

NOTE: as stated on the page, some of these options may incur additional fees from Stripe.
