This plugin allows you to create an infinite number of custom payment gateways for WooCommerce. After a payment gateway is created, you can edit its instructions and email sent to the customer directly in the WooCommerce payment settings menu. Features: ♦ Create unlimited custom payment gateways ♦ Edit payment gateway instructions and customer emails in WooCommerce settings ♦ Easy customization of gateway options for customers ♦ Add multiple URLs to ping after an order is created ♦ Simple creation process for new payment gateways Note: You will need to manually update the order status as the order progresses from On Hold/Processing, as this gateway has no way of tracking the order. This plugin also includes non-intrusive ads (shown only in the backend) that help support the ongoing development and maintenance of the plugin.
