1. Important information


Saferpay offers two types of accounts: eCommerce and Business (more information). The plugin “Saferpay for WooCommerce” is compatible with both types of accounts. For certain features such as recurring payments you will need a Saferpay Business account.

In the following we will list the requirements to use the plugin in connection with the different types of accounts.

1.1 Saferpay eCommerce account

The Saferpay eCommerce account offers basic functionality. The payment process is handled by the Saferpay Payment Page API. During the payment process the user is redirected to the payment page of Saferpay. When the payment is complete the user will be redirected to the online shop where the confirmation screen will be displayed.

1.2 Saferpay Business account

The plugin will offer the following additional features in connection with a Saferpay Business account:
