Configuration

From your WordPress /wp-admin page, navigate to WooCommerce > Settings.

Select the Payments tab at the top of the screen.

Click the Manage button for the Beyond Pay Gateway payment method.

Proceed to configure payment method options available on this page:

Enable/Disable – toggle to control whether this payment method is enabled or disabled

Title – this controls how this payment method is listed to the consumer during checkout; defaults to “Credit/Debit Card”

Description – expanded description of this payment method when selected by consumer; defaults to “Pay with your credit or debit card.”

Detailed Error Messages – controls the message returned to the consumer when there is a problem with their payment; defaults to “Something went wrong: %S. Please try again.” where %S represents the raw response or error message returned by the gateway

Enable Test Mode – controls whether transactions are sent to the Test/Sandbox or the Live/Production Beyond Pay Gateway environment and which type of API keys are expected; defaults to Live

Username, Password, PublicKey, PrivateKey, MerchantCode, and MerchantAccountCode – these are the credentials by which the plugin authenticates to the Beyond Pay Gateway in order to process payments; for Test Mode, you can request Beyond Pay Gateway sandbox API keys while live credentials are provided by Beyond once the merchant processing account is approved

Transaction Mode – controls how authorizations and payment captures are managed

Set this to Authorization to perform only an authorization (“pre-auth”) when an order is placed which requires the Order Status to be changed to Completed in order for the payment to be captured (usually when an order is shipped)

Set this to Sale to authorize and capture the payment immediately (usually used for digital products)

Learn more about best practices for authorization and capture/settlement from the Visa E-Commerce Risk Management Best Practices document

Level II/III Data – controls which extended data elements are automatically sent with transaction requests in order to optimize interchange rates on B2B cards; Level II includes reference number and tax amount, while Level III includes line-item details. Set to Level III to ensure you always qualify for the best rates on eligible corporate purchasing cards. (Tax-exempt transactions are not eligible for Level II interchange rates but may be eligibile for Level III.)

Advanced Styling – allows for customized styling of the Beyond Pay card collection iframe via CSS

Verbose Logging – enable for troubleshooting or development in order to log the gateway request and response messages on the Order Detail page; sensitive authentication details are not logged nor is any card data ever stored

Click the Save Changes button once you have completed configuration; the page will refresh and a message reading “Your settings have been saved” will display at the top.

You are now ready to accept payments through Beyond Pay Gateway on your WooCommerce store!

WooCommerce Subscriptions Integration Beyond Pay for WooCommerce offers automated recurring billing functionality through integration with the official WooCommerce Subscriptions Extension. The Subscriptions Extension must be purchased from WooCommerce before recurring payments can be accepted with Beyond Pay for WooCommerce.

Setting up your subscriptions is simple:

Create a subscription product in the Products module of WooCommerce and define the price and terms: e.g., “$5.90 every 2nd month”.

As customers purchase subscription products on your store, they will be prompted to create a user account and save their payment method on file.

When the payment is due, Beyond Pay for WooCommerce will automatically charge the card on file without you having to do anything.

The status of each scheduled payment is reported back to your WooCommerce Subscription extension in WooCommerce, whether successful or failed.

Your customers can change their payment method on the WooCommerce “my-account” page. Here, customers can also click the “Renew Now” button and pay their subscription ahead of the due date.

All card on file data is securely tokenized by Beyond Pay and never touches your server.
