Second both answers above.

Bubble does not necessarily maintain their plugins. Re: the Stripe plug in, see here

However, it does sound like they later decided to look at updating it in some form, after it was more or less forced by Stripe’s changes.

I’m using the bubble stripe plug in, with the check out changed to v.3 and a free plug in for the customer portal. It works just fine.

For Copilot, I’ve reached out to them multiple times and I have never heard back from them. The idea seem to be to get you to pay for an outdated tutorial video instead of providing any proper documentation.

With the sad state of the bubble plugin universe, I follow the same path as Boston. I avoid plugins if I can, and if I have to, I look for Bubble made ones (hoping they will be better tied in and cause less issues), and I’m only using one paid plug in, because the dev. is working really hard at keeping it up to date and is very visible on the forum with providing help to people.
