Coastal Pay Payment Gateway for WooCommerce vs Metadologie

Seamlessly integrate Coastal Pay’s payment processing into your WooCommerce store. This plugin enables secure card and ACH transactions, with full support for both the classic shortcode checkout and the modern WooCommerce Block checkout. Key Features: Tokenized Card Payments – Raw card data (PAN, CVV) is exchanged for a secure one-time token via Coastal Pay’s API before it ever reaches your server. Your store never stores or processes raw card data, keeping you out of PCI-DSS scope. ACH Bank Transfers – Accept checking and savings account payments with webhook-based settlement confirmation. Block Checkout Support – Full payment forms (not just method labels) render correctly inside the WooCommerce Block checkout for both Card and ACH methods. Sandbox / Live Toggle – Switch between sandbox and live mode from the admin settings panel. Shared Credentials – ACH shares API credentials with the Card gateway settings so you only configure once. Webhook Verification – ACH webhooks are verified with an HMAC-SHA-512 signature before any order is updated. Reliable Support – Access Coastal Pay’s dedicated support team for quick resolutions.
