Merchants, both big and small, across the US and Canada will now have the ability to easily accept payments, reduce operational friction and offer a consistent checkout experience following a new partnership between Finix, the payment processor, and WooCommerce, the customisable, open-source e-commerce platform built on WordPress.
The partnership will see Finix launch its official plugin for WooCommerce. Now, the 28 per cent of all online stores powered by WooCommerce on WordPress (the platform behind more than 43 per cent of websites on the internet) will have access to modern payment infrastructure without needing custom builds, complex configurations, or payments expertise.
Consumers are demanding fast, secure and flexible payment solutions, meaning digital storefronts need to find new ways to meet consumer expectations and fast. With time of the essence, the new Finix plugin will mean WooCommerce merchants can go from installation to accepting live payments in as little as 10 minutes with no required advanced technical knowledge, thanks to intuitive settings and automatic webhook handling.
Key features of the Finix for WooCommerce plugin include:
- Diverse payment acceptance: Easily accept major credit and debit cards, ACH transfers, and Apple Pay to match evolving customer preferences and reduce checkout friction.
- Automated transaction management: Manage disputes, refunds, and ACH returns with built-in webhook support and real-time automation to reduce manual work.
- Transparent pricing and fast payouts: Access interchange-plus pricing for clear fee breakdowns and get next-day deposits or same-day payouts.
- Advanced security: Protect every transaction with advanced encryption and security protocols.
- Seamless sandbox: Test and launch quickly using dedicated sandbox tools, then easily transition to live payment processing.
Simple integration
The plugin works seamlessly with both classic and block-based WooCommerce checkout experiences, eliminating the need for any clunky workarounds. Merchants can easily view and manage transactions directly within their WooCommerce or Finix dashboards, enabling businesses to focus on growth with a flexible, reliable payment solution behind them.
“Every merchant, regardless of volume or technical expertise, should have access to a great payments product,” said Richie Serna, CEO and co-founder of Finix. “As more shoppers switch to e-commerce for everyday purchases, the Finix for WooCommerce plugin puts powerful payment tools directly in the hands of millions of merchants. Whether it’s a new startup launching its first store or a high-volume retailer, all WooCommerce users can easily accept payments with no developer required.”
By bringing customisable, scalable payment solutions to WooCommerce merchants, Finix is expanding its e-commerce footprint and helping more businesses grow online. The plugin is the latest step in Finix’s mission to simplify payments and make powerful infrastructure available to all.
