Overview
WooPayments is the payment gateway built by WooCommerce, the Automattic-owned company behind the WooCommerce plugin. It was first listed on WordPress.org on 8 April 2020 and reported more than 800,000 active installations in November 2026; version 11.3.0 was released on 11 November 2026.[3]
The plugin accepts major credit and debit cards and lets merchants see payments, refunds, disputes, chargebacks and payouts in the WordPress dashboard rather than in a separate processor’s portal.[3] It also powers in-person sales through WooCommerce POS in the free WooCommerce mobile app, using Tap to Pay on iPhone or Android or a card reader.[3] WooPayments has no setup or monthly fee and charges per transaction instead; in the United States the published rate for cards is 2.90% + US$0.30, with surcharges of 1.50% for international cards and 1.00% for currency conversion, and a US$15 dispute fee.[4] Availability is limited to the countries listed in Woo’s documentation, and support is provided through woocommerce.com tickets. Merchants outside supported countries need a separate gateway such as Stripe or PayPal.[3][4]
