WooCommerce alternative payment options and advanced settings

Overview

In addition to accepting card payments, you can offer your customers alternative payment methods on your WooCommerce store. Alternative payment methods provide customers with more options to pay for their purchases, increasing the likelihood of successful transactions and improving the overall shopping experience. OnlinePay currently supports digital wallet payments through Apple Pay and Google Pay™. To find out more about digital wallet payments, see Digital wallet payments.

⚠️

Other alternative payment options are listed in the Verifone Hosted Cart plugin, however, these are not currently supported by OnlinePay.

Enable alternative payment methods

1. In your WordPress admin dashboard, navigate to WooCommerce > Settings, then click the Payments tab, and open the Verifone Hosted Cart plugin.

2. Click the Alternative payment options tab.

3. Under Alternative payment options, select the payment methods you want to enable for your WooCommerce store. Currently, you can enable Apple Pay and Google Pay.

4. Select the SCA (Strong customer authentication) compliance level. The following options are available:

   • NONE: No SCA required. Set this for Apple Pay.
   • WALLET: Wallet payment providers already have Delegated Authentication rights to perform Strong Customer Authentication. Set this for Google Pay.
   • FORCE_3DS: Strong Customer Authentication is required for all transactions. If the transaction is not authenticated, it will be declined. This setting is not recommended for wallet payments.

   ⚠️

   Apple Pay SCA compliance must be set to NONE.
   Google Pay SCA compliance must be set to WALLET.

5. Provide the wallet payment provider contract ID. This can be found in your OnlinePay dashboard under Administration > Wallets.
