What it does
Many payment setups send shoppers to an external page to pay, which breaks the look of your store and adds an extra step. This plugin is built for North American WooCommerce stores and keeps checkout on your own site. It uses Bambora's Custom Checkout, which is designed to meet PCI SAQ-A compliance, so card fields appear inside your checkout while the sensitive data is handled by Bambora. Shoppers can pay with Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Diner's Club, UnionPay and JCB cards.
Day-to-day order management happens inside WooCommerce. You can issue full or partial refunds and voids from the order edit screen, and capture prior authorizations, including partial captures, without logging into a separate portal. The gateway works with WooCommerce Subscriptions for automatic renewals and date changes, and with WooCommerce Pre-Orders to charge customers when a product is released. Customers can save several cards to their account, give them nicknames and remove them later. On phones, numeric inputs and automatic card formatting make entering details easier.
Best for
- North American WooCommerce stores using Bambora for card processing
- Subscription businesses running WooCommerce Subscriptions
- Shops taking pre-orders or capturing authorized payments later
