WayForPay — card payments for WooCommerce

WayForPay for WooCommerce is a payment plugin that accepts Visa/Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay payments through WayForPay’s secure page. When the customer pays, the order is confirmed for real: WayForPay sends a serviceUrl webhook, the plugin verifies the HMAC-MD5 signature, checks the amount and moves the order to “Processing” or “Completed”. No manual reconciliation of payments in the bank’s dashboard.

The basic version is free. Download: catcode-card-payments-with-wayforpay-for-woocommerce-1.0.1.zip. Free covers accepting payments and automatic order confirmation; Pro adds a payment log with status reconciliation, two-stage payment (AUTH/SETTLE), and partial and repeat refunds from the admin.

How it works, step by step

1. At checkout, the customer chooses “Card payment (WayForPay)” and confirms the order. Both the classic and block (Gutenberg) checkout work.
2. The plugin builds a signed request and redirects the customer to WayForPay’s secure payment page.
3. After payment, WayForPay calls your site’s serviceUrl webhook — the REST route wc-wayforpay/v1/webhook.
4. The plugin verifies the HMAC-MD5 signature and the amount, then moves the order to the configured status.
5. If the customer returns to the site before the webhook arrives — the status is additionally checked with a CHECK_STATUS request, so the order only completes once it’s really paid.
6. With Pro: refunds (full or partial) are done right from the order screen, and every transaction is visible in the payment log.

Pricing

890 UAH — a one-year licence. A year of updates, technical support and access to all Pro features. No auto-charges: renewal is always manual, and we don’t store card details.

You can take a longer term straight away — the longer, the cheaper per year:

• 1 year — 890 UAH
• 2 years — 1,690 UAH (−5%, 845 UAH/year)
• 3 years — 2,350 UAH (−12%, 783 UAH/year)
• 4 years — 2,920 UAH (−18%, 730 UAH/year)
• 5 years — 3,340 UAH (−25%, 668 UAH/year)

When the term runs out, only updates and new features stop — Pro features keep working, the free version keeps running, and settings and data stay put. To reopen Pro, just renew the licence in your account. We’ll remind you by email 14, 7, 3 and 1 day before it ends.

One key, one domain. Moving your store? Deactivate the licence on the old domain and activate it on the new one yourself, no need to contact support.

Trial first, payment later. A 7-day free Pro trial is switched on with one click in the plugin’s settings (only an email is needed — no card): you can check the operations log, AUTH/SETTLE and refunds on your own store before buying. That’s exactly why refunds after payment aren’t offered — you see the module in action before you pay.

Technical requirements

• WooCommerce 6.0+ · WordPress 5.8+
• PHP 7.4+
• Merchant login and secret key from your WayForPay account — for live mode. Nothing is needed for testing: the plugin works on the public test merchant right away.

Under the hood

• The webhook is a separate REST route wc-wayforpay/v1/webhook: every callback goes through HMAC-MD5 signature verification and an amount check before the order status changes.
• serviceUrl is sent with every payment — nothing needs to be typed into the WayForPay dashboard manually.
• Declared HPOS compatibility (custom order tables) and block checkout support via WooCommerce’s FeaturesUtil.
• A Pro gate with no “brick”: once the trial ends and there’s no key, only updates and new features stop — Pro features keep working, and free payment acceptance keeps working.

How to install

1. Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin: choose catcode-card-payments-with-wayforpay-for-woocommerce-1.0.1.zip, activate.

3. For testing, leave “Test mode” on — payment goes through the public test merchant, no real funds are charged.
4. For live mode, turn testing off and enter the merchant login + secret key from your WayForPay account.
5. For Pro: paste the licence key from the post-purchase email into the licence field in the gateway settings.

Version history

1.1.1 — August 2026

Fixed: the WayForPay webhook and the customer’s return no longer process payment twice — previously they could arrive within the same millisecond, both seeing “not yet paid”, leaving two “payment received” notes on the order and double stock deduction. The customer’s return no longer shows “Payment not completed” on an order the webhook has just paid.

1.1.0 — 11 August 2026

Pro no longer switches itself on: a fresh install is a clean Free version. The 7-day trial only starts with a click on “Try Pro for 7 days” — the key arrives immediately and by email. The licence is checked on the catcode.com.ua server, with a 14-day grace period in case it’s unreachable. Pro features (AUTH/SETTLE, payment log, refunds) stay visible with a “Pro” badge instead of disappearing; the log no longer vanishes from the menu without a licence; the key is no longer wiped by the “Save changes” button.

1.0.0 — July 2026

First public release: Visa/Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay payments via the WayForPay page; a serviceUrl webhook with HMAC-MD5 verification; CHECK_STATUS reconciliation on return; classic and block checkout; UAH/USD/EUR currencies; Pro — refunds, AUTH/SETTLE, payment log.
