PowerTranz Payment Gateway for WooCommerce is a complete payment solution for merchants in the Caribbean and Latin America. It connects your WooCommerce store directly to PowerTranz’s secure payment processing platform.

Key Features

Flexible Integration Options

The plugin supports two integration types, each with their own strengths:

  • SPI (Server Payment Integration) – A versatile integration that can process payments directly on your checkout page or redirect customers to PowerTranz’s Hosted Payment Page (HPP). Supports all features including Kount fraud detection.
  • FPI (Full Payment Integration) – A streamlined direct integration where customers enter card details on your checkout page. Ideal for a seamless checkout experience.

3D Secure 2.0

Built-in support for 3DS2 authentication protects you from fraudulent transactions and reduces chargebacks. The plugin handles all 3DS flows automatically, including frictionless authentication and challenge flows.

Card Tokenization

Allow customers to save their cards for faster checkout on future purchases. Card data is securely stored by PowerTranz – sensitive details never touch your server.

WooCommerce Subscriptions

Full support for recurring payments. Saved card tokens are automatically charged for subscription renewals.

Fraud Detection

  • Kount – Advanced fraud screening integration (available with SPI)
  • ProxyCheck – Detect suspicious proxy/VPN usage

Multi-Currency Support

Accept payments in multiple currencies including USD, JMD, TTD, BBD, XCD, and more.

Sale & Authorize/Capture

Choose between immediate sale transactions or authorize now and capture later – perfect for businesses that need to verify orders before charging.
