WooCommerce WePay Payment Gateway 1.6.0
Wordpress Plugins WooCommerce.com 4.8 (3.5K reviews)
This WooCommerce extension, originally built by Woothemes, connects your online store to WePay’s payment processing platform. WePay acts as the gateway between your shop and your customers’ banks, handling credit card and bank account payments directly. The plugin is designed specifically for WooCommerce sites, so it installs like any other extension and adds WePay as a payment option in your checkout. You do not need a separate merchant account or a third-party shopping cart to make it work. Once activated, customers can choose WePay at checkout, and the gateway processes the payment, verifies the funds, and returns confirmation to your store admin. The extension is a straightforward bridge between WePay and WooCommerce, with no extra middleware involved. It suits store owners who already rely on WePay or who prefer a payment processor with bank account support. For those building a WooCommerce store from scratch, installing this plugin is the quickest way to enable WePay payments.

The gateway accepts both credit cards and bank accounts, giving shoppers flexibility in how they pay. For credit cards, standard Visa, Mastercard, and similar brands are processed through WePay’s infrastructure. Bank account payments work through direct ACH-style transfers, which can be a lower-cost alternative for larger purchases. Store owners can choose one of two checkout experiences. The iframe method keeps customers on your site, embedding WePay’s checkout form directly into the page. The redirect method sends customers to WePay’s hosted payment page and returns them to your store after completion. There is also a WePay checkout option that follows WePay’s standard flow. This flexibility lets you match the checkout to your site’s design and your customers’ comfort level. Each method relies on WePay to capture payment details, so your store never has to handle raw card data. You can switch between them at any time from the plugin settings. Some merchants prefer one over the other, so having the option built in avoids extra customization.
Setting up this extension takes roughly five minutes, according to the original documentation. You install the plugin, enter your WePay credentials, choose your preferred checkout method, and save the settings. There is no SSL certificate required to run the gateway itself, though you should still consider site security for other reasons. Because WePay hosts the payment forms, sensitive card data goes directly to their servers rather than your hosting account. That simplifies compliance and removes the need to obtain a dedicated secure certificate for the payment flow. This makes the extension practical for smaller stores that do not yet have SSL installed. The quick setup also means you can test the gateway immediately using WePay’s sandbox environment before going live. Once the test transaction succeeds, you can switch to live mode and start accepting real payments. The entire activation process is handled through your WordPress admin panel, so there are no additional files to edit.
For a WooCommerce store owner, this plugin removes a layer of manual work. Customers pay through a recognized gateway, whose fraud protection and dispute processes are handled by WePay. You get transaction records inside WooCommerce, and refunds can be issued from the order screen as long as your WePay account supports them. Because the gateway accepts bank accounts, you can appeal to customers who prefer not to use credit cards online. The choice of iframe or redirect checkout also lets you address security concerns differently; redirects may be simpler, while iframes feel more integrated. This is not a plugin that adds complexity to your store. It performs one function—accepting payments through WePay—and it does so within the standard WooCommerce workflow that store owners already know. Adding this gateway is an uncomplicated way to expand the payment options your store offers. Both new stores and existing WooCommerce installations can adopt it without changing their current setup.
