WooCommerce CardStream / Charity Clear 2.2.2
Wordpress Plugins WooCommerce.com 4.8 (859 reviews)
WooCommerce CardStream / Charity Clear is a straightforward extension designed for WooCommerce stores that want to accept credit and debit card payments through two trusted European payment gateways. CardStream handles standard retail transactions, while Charity Clear is tailored for organizations processing donations and charitable contributions. Both gateways are well-established in the payments industry, and this extension acts as the bridge between your WooCommerce store and their processing networks. Once installed and configured, your checkout connects directly to these services, so every order flows through a payment system your customers can recognize and trust. The extension was originally developed by WooThemes, the team responsible for many core WooCommerce features, and it integrates into an existing store setup like any other extension you might already be running. The payment gateway itself handles all of the sensitive transaction data, so your store does not need to process card numbers directly. This keeps your security obligations simpler while still giving customers a fully legitimate card payment path.
One of the most useful aspects of this extension is that it removes the headache of SSL certificates. Normally, taking card payments on your own domain requires a valid SSL certificate to encrypt sensitive data. With this extension, the actual payment details are entered on CardStream or Charity Clear's own secure servers, not on your site. That means you can accept real card payments without going through the process of buying, installing, and maintaining an SSL certificate. This is especially helpful for smaller stores, temporary campaigns, or organizations that prefer to keep their technical setup simple. The customer leaves your checkout briefly to complete payment on the gateway's encrypted page, then returns automatically once the transaction finishes. The entire flow keeps you aligned with the security expectations of the payment industry while reducing your own administrative workload. Store owners who have been avoiding card payments because of SSL requirements may find that this removes the main obstacle.
In terms of card coverage, the extension supports a broad range of payment methods through both gateways. Customers can pay with Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club, Maestro, and JCB. Having this range in a single checkout means fewer customers will encounter a card type that is not accepted. Organizations running charity campaigns get a payment gateway built specifically for donations, while retail stores get full support for consumer cards and corporate cards alike. Amex and Diners are commonly used by business customers, so having those options available matters for stores that serve corporate clients. The card brands represented cover consumer spending, business purchasing, and international travel, all in one checkout. The extension passes the card information securely to the gateway and returns the approval or decline status to your WooCommerce dashboard. Your customers experience a familiar card payment flow without extra steps.
