Payment methods

Choose which payment methods to offer, and control when each one appears in checkout.

Enable a payment method

1. Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Buckaroo Settings → Payment Methods.
2. Select the settings icon next to the method you want.
3. Tick Enable/Disable.
4. Set Transaction mode to Test or Live.
5. Select Save changes.

The Payment Methods list shows each method's status as Active, Test or Inactive, along with the countries and currencies it supports, so you can see the state of your whole setup on one screen.

Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal can also show Not configured at the top of their own settings page. That means a required credential is missing and the method is hidden from customers. See Required credentials.

Common settings per method

Most methods share the same set of options. These are what let you show the right methods to the right customers instead of showing everything to everyone.

The fee's tax class and whether it displays including or excluding VAT are set once for all methods under Configuration.

Cards and Hosted Fields

Card payments can run in two modes, set by Credit and debit card method:

• Redirect: the customer is sent to Buckaroo's hosted payment page to enter their card details.
• Inline (Hosted Fields): the card form is embedded directly in your checkout using secure iframes. The customer never leaves your store, which converts better.

Hosted Fields keeps you out of PCI-DSS scope because the card data never touches your server. It needs a Hosted Fields Client ID and Client Secret, which you create in Buckaroo Plaza under Settings → Token registration. See Hosted Fields.

Credit and debit card flow sets whether the plugin sends a Pay or an Authorize request. Use Authorize to reserve the amount and capture it later. See Order management.

Card brands

Card payments cover Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Visa Electron, V PAY, Carte Bancaire, Carte Bleue, Dankort, Nexi and PostePay.

Two settings control how they appear:

Showing a brand separately is worth doing where a brand carries recognition of its own in your market. Showing all eleven separately is not: it turns your checkout into a wall of logos.

Giftcards

Giftcards are entered in your checkout and applied against the order total, with the remainder paid by another method.

List of authorized giftcards controls which brands are accepted, as a comma-separated list of Buckaroo giftcard service codes. The default covers VVV Giftcard, Boekenbon, Boekenvoordeel, Fashioncheque, YourGift and Webshop Giftcard.

Express checkout

Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal can appear as a fast-checkout button on the product page, the cart and the checkout, letting the customer skip the address forms. They tap the button, confirm their details in the wallet, and the order is placed.

How the settings are laid out

Each express method has the same sections, in the same order:

Apple Pay and Google Pay have no Title or Description setting. PayPal keeps both, and puts its sandbox merchant ID under a separate Sandbox credentials heading.

Settings all three share

Express buttons have a fixed height so they line up with each other. There is no height or width setting.

Required credentials

Each express method needs its own credentials, and some are only needed for live payments.

If a required credential is empty, the plugin shows an error when you save. The status at the top of the method's settings page reads Not configured, and the method is hidden from the checkout and from every express button until you fill it in. A value of 0 counts as empty, and that is what the GUID and Gateway Merchant ID fields start with.

Apple Pay

List as payment method in checkout is worth understanding. As a selectable payment method, the Apple Pay sheet only authorises the payment: billing and shipping come from the checkout form the customer already filled in. As an express button, the sheet supplies the address as well. Having both means customers can use Apple Pay whichever way they arrive at checkout.

Google Pay

PayPal

PayPal has no List as payment method in checkout setting. While the method is enabled it always appears in the checkout payment list, and Show the express button on controls only the express button.

The sandbox client IDs are handled by Buckaroo, so the sandbox merchant ID is the only extra value you can add for testing.

Buy Now Pay Later

Klarna, Riverty, Billink and In3 have extra requirements compared with other methods:

• They need additional customer data, such as date of birth, which the plugin collects in checkout when the method is selected.
• They perform a risk assessment and may decline an order that would have succeeded with another method. Always offer a fallback.
• They typically use authorise and capture: the amount is reserved at checkout and captured when you ship. See Order management.
• Some require separate onboarding with the provider before they can go live.

Riverty

Riverty has its own settings beyond the shared ones:

Separate B2B limits are useful because business orders are usually larger. You can set a low ceiling for consumers and a much higher one for companies without splitting the method in two.

Bank Transfer

Bank Transfer is asynchronous. The customer places the order, receives the bank details, and the order stays on hold until the money arrives.

PayPerEmail and PayLink

PayPerEmail sends the customer a payment link instead of taking them through checkout. The plugin can use it in two places, and they are configured separately.

The admin actions are the more useful half. Create an order in the WooCommerce admin for a customer who ordered by phone or email, then send them a link to pay it. See Order management.
