Custom Payment Gateway for WooCommerce Pro lets a store offer custom checkout payment options when its standard gateways do not fit a customer’s needs. Customers can submit an order and send a note describing a payment option they can use. Store settings control how each gateway appears and how its orders proceed.

Pro includes a drag-and-drop form builder, support for unlimited custom gateways, checkout display settings, order status controls, external API requests, payment details in order emails, and Debugging Mode. These settings let a store collect information for a custom payment process and decide how to handle it after checkout.

Choose fields for each gateway form

The form builder supports text, text box, checkbox, radio button, and choose menu fields, along with email, date, time, URL, currency, number, and phone number fields. It also includes credit card form and instructions fields.

Available field settings include name, label, size, default value, CSS class or classes, and other options.

Configure checkout and order handling

Create an unlimited number of custom gateways and assign each one an icon for display on the Checkout page. Choose the order status applied after checkout to orders paid through that gateway.

A gateway description can explain the option during checkout. A customer note can display further instructions after checkout. Submitted payment information can also be added to the order’s emails.

Send payment information to an API

After checkout, the extension can send payment information to an external API for processing or storage. Configure a custom redirect URL and pick POST or GET for the request, with data sent as form data or JSON. Additional API parameters, such as API keys, can be configured.

Key-and-value API parameters can use WooCommerce data, including order ID, order total, customer first and last name, postcode, city, state, country, email, phone, and IP address.

Review the setup with Debugging Mode

After installing the Pro extension on the WooCommerce website, configure a gateway, add its customer-facing description and note, and build the required form fields. Set the icon, order status, email option, redirect, or API request as needed. When testing, enable Debugging Mode. The gateway is then activated only for you, so you can review its settings and the checkout page before using the gateway process.
