WooPay is a new express checkout solution by WooCommerce. WooPay saves your payment information so that you can quickly and securely purchase from any WooCommerce store that used WooCommerce Payments and has WooPay enabled.
NOTE: This document is intended for customers who would like to pay for orders using WooPay. If you are a merchant who would like to use WooPay on your site, please see our merchant documentation instead.
Signing up
↑ Back to topThe first time you check out on a store that uses WooPay, you’ll see checkbox just above the Place Order button where you are prompted to save your information.
By checking the box and entering your mobile phone number, you can save your information securely in our WooPay system when you place your order.
After placing your order, you will receive a one-time welcome email from WooPay.
Using WooPay to check out
↑ Back to topThe next time you check out on a store that has WooPay enabled, we’ll recognize your email address and automatically send a 6-digit verification code to your phone.
NOTE: You can also click the Send via Email link to receive a code in an email.
After entering the verification code, you’ll be sent to WooPay to check out.
Once you’ve placed the order, you’ll be sent back to the site for confirmation. WooPay will be shown in the payment method area.
If this is your first time placing an order with WooPay after signing up, you will also receive a separate email from WooPay asking you to verify your email address:
Simply click the Verify your email address button to complete the account setup.
Using the express checkout button

Simply click the WooPay button and you will be presented with a popup asking you to log in. Once you’ve verified your phone number by entering the 6-digit code as usual, you’ll be sent to WooPay to check out.

Frequently asked questions
↑ Back to topWe’ve collected some common questions that customers like you may have about WooPay and answered them below. Please contact support if your question is not covered here.
I have a question about an order I paid for with WooPay.
↑ Back to topFor most questions related to orders paid for with WooPay, you should reach out directly to the merchant you ordered from. Even though you check out through WooPay, your order was still placed with the merchant themselves.
To find the merchant you ordered from, visit WooPay’s Orders page to see the orders you’ve placed with WooPay. Click on the order you have a question about, and that will take you to the merchant’s website. From there, you should be able to find a way to contact them.
Why don’t I don’t see the “Save your information” box during checkout?
↑ Back to topYou will only see the “Save your information” box on the checkout page if you don’t already have a WooPay account. If you have an account already and enter your email into the form, we’ll automatically send you verification code you can use to sign in to WooPay.
What if I don’t want to check out with WooPay?
↑ Back to topIf you’re on the WooPay checkout page but don’t want to use WooPay, you can either:
- In the Contact section, click the three dots icon (⋮) and then click Checkout as guest to be taken back to the merchant’s usual WooCommerce checkout page.
- Click the < Cart link at the top of the WooPay checkout page to go back to the Cart page.
How does WooPay handle subscription products?
