PayHere payments in WooCommerce

PayHere PREMIUM connects a WooCommerce store to the PayHere payment gateway. Customers can pay with Visa, MasterCard, Amex, eZcash, mCash, and Internet Banking services. Store administrators manage the payment method in WooCommerce settings and can enable on-site checkout at WooCommerce Settings > Payments > PayHere > Manage.

Subscription checkout conditions

Supported subscription products can be checked out through the gateway. Each checkout can include only one subscription, and an order cannot combine subscription products with normal products. Trial and billing periods must be equal, and the trial length cannot exceed one billing period. Synchronized subscriptions and free trials are not supported, so these conditions determine which subscription offers clients can purchase through PayHere.

Configure tokenized cards

Tokenized cards are available with a PayHere PREMIUM plan or a PayHere Sandbox account. To set up the feature, log in to the PayHere Merchant Account and go to Settings > Business Apps > Create App. Generate an App ID and App Secret. Then open WooCommerce Settings > Payments > PayHere > Manage, select Enable Tokenizer, enter the App ID and App Secret, and save the settings.

Once configured, customers can select Save Card during payment. On later visits, they may be offered the option to pay with a saved card. Customers can manage saved cards under My Account > Saved Cards; a removal option appears when saved cards are available. Administrators can view customers with pre-approved saved cards under WooCommerce > Cards on documents.

Installation and setup

Install the PayHere Payment Gateway extension in WordPress, then open its settings under WooCommerce payments. A PayHere Merchant Account is required; merchant account applications are made through the PayHere site. Enable the payment method and configure on-website checkout or tokenization as needed.

If the add-on becomes deactivated after updating to version 2.0.*, go to WP-Admin > Plugins and reactivate it.
