What it does
If you sell services, subscriptions or products with GetPaid and your merchant account runs through First Data, you need a way to connect the two. This add-on handles that connection. Once it is configured, customers can enter their credit card details at checkout and the payment is processed by First Data. Sensitive card information is handled under First Data's security protocols, which helps protect customer data and reduce the risk of fraud on your site.
The gateway goes beyond one-time charges. It supports recurring payments, so you can bill subscriptions, memberships and repeat services automatically instead of chasing each invoice by hand. It also accepts payments in several currencies, which is useful if your customers are spread across different countries. Setup happens through a straightforward admin interface backed by clear documentation, and the plugin is built to run on current WordPress and PHP environments alongside the GetPaid plugin.
Best for

Questions about First Data Payment Gateway
Do I need GetPaid for this plugin to work?
Yes. This is an add-on for GetPaid, the invoicing and payments plugin, and it relies on GetPaid being active on your site. It adds First Data as a payment method within GetPaid rather than working on its own.
Can I charge customers on a recurring schedule?
Yes. The gateway supports recurring payments, so you can automate subscription billing and repeat transactions. That makes it a good fit for membership sites, ongoing service plans and product subscriptions where customers are charged on a regular basis.
Can customers pay in currencies other than US dollars?
The plugin supports multiple currencies through First Data, so you can accept payments in a variety of currencies. This helps if you sell to an international customer base and want buyers to pay in a currency familiar to them.
Will it run on my WordPress hosting setup?
The plugin is built for current WordPress releases and common PHP hosting configurations, so most standard WordPress sites running GetPaid should be able to use it. If your host keeps WordPress and PHP reasonably up to date, you should be fine.
