Features
A clean bridge to your
online checkout.
BlueGate for WooCommerce connects the merchant account you already hold to a modern checkout. Every feature below ships in the current release — no add-ons, upsells or per-transaction fee from us.
Hosted payment page option
Let Powertranz collect the card on its own secure page, so card details never reach your website and PCI compliance gets simpler.
Classic and block checkout
Card fields appear on both the classic checkout and the newer block checkout used by current WooCommerce themes.
3D Secure, on your terms
Ask the cardholder's bank to verify each payment, or switch verification off if your account is set up for it.
Authorize now, capture later
Hold the funds when the order is placed and capture or void from the order screen when you are ready to ship.
Saved cards without the risk
Returning customers can pay with a stored card. Card details stay with Powertranz, never in your WordPress database.
Address verification
Send the billing address with each payment so your bank can run AVS checks on the cardholder.
Full and partial refunds
Refund from the standard WooCommerce order screen using the original Powertranz transaction.
Choose the cards you accept
Pick the card brands you take. Their logos show at checkout and other brands are stopped before they reach your bank.
Guided setup and HPOS
A step-by-step setup screen gets you live, and the plugin uses modern WooCommerce order storage.
Recurring payments
Works with WooCommerce Subscriptions. Renewals are charged automatically against the customer's securely stored card.
Kount fraud screening
Send transactions to Kount for risk scoring, with a test mode while you tune your rules.
International cards
Take Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover/Novus, Diners Club, JCB and Maestro from customers anywhere your account is approved for.
Every response on the order
Approval codes, decline reasons, AVS and CVV results are written to the WooCommerce order so your team can see exactly what happened.
Go-live checklist
Before card payments can be switched on, the plugin confirms your licence, credentials, hosted page details, HTTPS, currency and block checkout support.
Protected updates and logs
Licensed sites get update notices inside WordPress, plus an optional log that never records card numbers.
