# Event Tickets 5.3.0

### Summary

Feature Release

This update to Event Tickets 5.3.0 adds Stripe as a payment gateway when using Tickets Commerce.

As always, we recommend [testing updates](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/creating-and-using-a-wordpress-staging-site/) on a staging site first, but it should all be smooth sailing.
