WooCommerce Sofort Payment Gateway is an official extension developed by Woothemes, the team behind WooCommerce. It integrates the Sofort bank transfer method, widely known as sofortueberweisung, directly into your store's checkout. This payment option is standard in several European countries, and it lets customers authorize a bank transfer securely through their own online banking portal. Once the customer approves the payment, the gateway sends a confirmation to WooCommerce and updates the order automatically. No extra steps or manual checks are needed. You get the exact plugin file that the original author distributes, so it behaves exactly like any directly purchased version. The extension is fully contained in a .zip file that you upload through the WordPress plugin administration screen. After activation, it appears alongside your other payment methods. The extension has been developed specifically for WooCommerce, which means it follows the same coding standards and update paths as other official WooCommerce extensions.
The gateway supports four currencies: euro, British pound, Swiss franc, and Polish zloty. Those are the only ones the payment method can process, so your products must be priced in one of these. When a customer chooses Sofort, they leave your site temporarily and log into their online banking. There, they see the transaction amount and confirm the transfer. The system then tells your store to mark the order as paid. The actual money arrives in your regular bank account, and the plugin never holds funds itself. This is the standard Sofort flow, and the plugin enables it directly inside WooCommerce. No additional merchant account is required beyond the usual Sofort business agreement. The gateway talks to the bank network through the official Sofort API, so order records line up with your bank statement. You do not need extra reporting tools or manual reconciliation. The transaction reference is passed back to WooCommerce automatically, aligning the order status with the payment.
Sofort is available to customers in a specific set of European countries. Those countries are Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. If your store targets customers in any of these markets, the gateway gives them a familiar way to pay. A customer outside this list will not see Sofort as a payment option, because the bank network only processes transactions from these regions. You should also remember that the store currency must be one of the four supported currencies. Even if a customer is in an eligible country, the transaction can only work if the order total is displayed in euro, British pound, Swiss franc, or Polish zloty. This is a limitation of the Sofort system itself, not of the plugin. For stores that do meet both conditions, the gateway opens up a payment method that many European shoppers already trust.
When you purchase this product, you receive the exact .zip file that the original author distributes. There are no modified files or extra wrappers. This means the plugin will install and update exactly like the version sold directly through the official channel. To set it up, you upload the .zip through your WordPress admin under Plugins > Add New, activate it, and then enter your Sofort credentials in the WooCommerce payment settings. From that point, the gateway behaves like any standard WooCommerce payment method. It respects your existing order handling rules, emails, and receipt templates. The plugin does not replace or rearrange any other part of your store. It simply adds a new option in the checkout section. Everything is configured inside the regular WooCommerce settings pages. If you already run a store with customers in the supported countries, this is a straightforward way to accept bank transfers without building a custom integration.
