Woocommerce Paygate Payment Gateway

Take payments on your WooCommerce store via PayGate (direct method).The PayGate payment gateway extends WooCommerce by allowing the customer to make payments using either the PayGate PayWeb or PayGate PayXML merchant facilities. PayGate is a trusted and specialist credit card payment services provider that has been operating since 1996 and works with all major financial institutions in South Africa.

PayGate XML is a direct payment gateway. Therefore an SSL certificate is also required to ensure your customer credit card details are safe.

Select which of the available PayGate payment methods you are going to use.
Enable “Test Mode” if you are still in development, awaiting your merchant details from PayGate or want to test how payments are handled.

Usage
Using the PayWeb payment option will allow users to checkout using PayGate’s hosted payment facility, and will redirect users to handle the payment processing and then redirect them back to the site once the payment has been completed.

The PayXML payment option allows a seamless payment process by keepings users on your site (except for 3D Secure verification) by handling the entry of credit card details directly on the checkout page and processing the payment via an API call using XML. The PayXML option requires that a valid SSL certificate be installed, and will enforce the “force SSL” option in WooCommerce settings – unless the gateway is in test mode.
