Overview #
The WooCommerce Custom Payment Gateways plugin allows you to add customized gateways to your WooCommerce store. Using it, you can add multiple gateways and, thus, offer your customers the flexibility of paying via the gateway of their choice.
It lets you customize sections of the gateways based on your requirements, such as title, description, instructions, icon, minimum order amount, email message, default order status, and custom return URL (i.e., URL of the thank you page). You can use it to send additional order emails to the admin and customer.
The Custom Payment Gateway plugin is a great way to add tens of custom gateways to your shop, as required. The plugin can be enabled for virtual products (digital goods), too.
