What Happens After A Payment?
In This Document
Where can I see payment data that get submitted?
Start inside WordPress. Payment Forms > Transactions lists every one-time payment your site has taken, and opening a row shows the amount breakdown, the payment method, the customer, any files they uploaded and every custom field value they submitted. The page is available on every license, including the free Lite plugin. See How to Use the Transactions Page.
Recurring payments have their own list at Payment Forms > Subscriptions, including when each subscription renews next. See How to Use the Subscriptions Page.
The same data also lives on the Stripe records, which is where to go if you need to edit a value or work from the Stripe Dashboard:

What Can I Configure To Happen After A Payment Is Completed?
Perform additional actions after a payment
Webhooks allow Stripe to send messages back to your WordPress site. Setting up webhooks is required for some functionality of WP Simple Pay such as creating installment plans, allowing customers to update their subscription payment details, and using its integration with AffiliateWP.
You can also use WordPress’ hook system to perform your own actions after a payment such as creating a WordPress user account.
