WooCommerce Bambora has added tons of useful new features in version 2.0:
The WooCommerce Bambora (formerly Beanstream) extension provides a completely integrated checkout experience between WooCommerce and Bambora. Payments take place directly on your website so you have maximum control over what the checkout looks like, and customers never have to leave your site to make a payment.
Even better, using Bambora’s Custom Checkout implementation, your seamless checkout also meets PCI compliance at SAQ-A levels, giving you a checkout that’s beautiful, seamless, and secure.
Let your customers save their credit cards and bank accounts to their WooCommerce account for fast and easy checkout. Includes full support for WooCommerce Subscriptions!
Using the Bambora extension allows you to decide what your checkout process will look like, while keeping the customer on your site for the entire process. This gives you maximum control over this experience, providing a slick checkout process for the user and maximum customizability for the business owner.
Mobile checkout is enhanced as well, offering automated card formatting and numerical (tel type) fields for easier input.
You can now opt to show detailed decline messages to your customers, no more « an error occurred » error messages!
Shop employees can now process refunds for an order paid for with Bambora directly from within WooCommerce — no more logging into your merchant account to process refunds! Speed up your store management by creating full or partial refunds from the « Edit Order » screen and sending the transaction automatically to Bambora by clicking « Refund via Credit Card ».
If the transaction has not been captured or settled, a transaction void will be performed automatically instead to cancel the order.
Customers can easily & securely save multiple payment methods to their account for faster checkout, which are displayed in unified « My Payments » section of their account. Payment data is stored on Bambora’s secure servers, so your responsibility for PCI compliance is significantly reduced. Customers can even add a nickname for a saved method for easier reference.
Customers can also change their active payment method, add payment methods, and remove payment methods from the My Account page. The « Add Payment Method » workflow is seamless and tokenizes card information for future use without requiring the customer to go through checkout!
Bambora is an ideal gateway for WooCommerce Subscriptions, offering support for all of Subscriptions features – payment date changes, subscription date changes, and more. The gateway also fully-supports WooCommerce Pre-Orders, so you can take customer’s payment information upfront and then automatically charge their payment method once the pre-order is released.
Some users choose to set the payment gateway to only authorize charges rather than authorize & capture them. However, this requires the user to then log into the payment gateway admin to capture charges.
Version 2.0+ of this extension allow you to optionally capture previously authorized transactions directly from the WooCommerce Edit Order screen rather than logging into your Bambora control panel to do so. Simply edit the order, select the « Capture Charge » action, and charges will be captured through Bambora.
If you’ve enabled partial captures, you can even enter an amount to capture, and process multiple captures via WooCommerce.
