Additional payment methods

Introduction ↑ Back to top

Starting from WooCommerce Payments v2.8.0, you can preview a new payment experience with additional payment methods. This experience will become the default in future.

During this time, you can safely test the new checkout and make improvements to your site before we roll out the experience in the coming months. When you enable it, you can start collecting payments via:

• giropay
• Sofort
• iDeal
• P24
• Bancontact
• EPS
• SEPA (closed beta)
• BECS Direct Debit (closed beta)

More payment methods coming in the future.

Available payment methods ↑ Back to top

The payment methods you add through the settings will only appear at checkout if they’re relevant to your customer’s locale.
