WooCommerce Windcave Gateway

Taking card payments on your own site brings security duties and PCI compliance questions. This plugin addresses that by sending customers off-site to Windcave's encrypted payment portal at checkout. Card details are entered there and never handled directly by your website, which reduces your store's security liability and compliance scope. Windcave is a Visa and MasterCard certified gateway developed by DPS.

Setup follows a short path: create a Windcave account, enter your API credentials in the plugin, and the gateway is ready to process payments. You can set your own success and failure URLs to guide shoppers back to your store. It also works with WooCommerce Subscriptions, so shops with recurring billing can use it too. It fits merchants who want a trusted gateway for customers in many countries.

Features

• Off-site secure checkout: Customers are redirected to Windcave's encrypted payment portal to enter their card details, which keeps sensitive data away from your site and reduces your PCI compliance scope.
• WooCommerce Subscriptions support: Accept recurring payments for subscription-based business models. The gateway works with WooCommerce Subscriptions, so repeat billing runs through the same Windcave connection.
• Simple account-based setup: Sign up for a Windcave account, enter your API credentials in the plugin settings, and the gateway is ready to take payments without further technical work.
• Custom redirect URLs: Define your own success and failure URLs so customers return to the right page on your store after completing or canceling a payment.
• Worldwide card acceptance: Process payments from customers around the globe with support for Visa, MasterCard and other major credit cards through a certified gateway.
• Security handled by Windcave: SSL certification, encryption and transaction security are managed by Windcave, so you do not need to run those technical pieces yourself.
• Payment method icon option: Choose whether to show or hide the payment method icon at checkout, so the gateway's appearance matches the look of your store.
