Based on the data on this page, Checkout.com Payment Gateway is the stronger choice for most WordPress Plugin Directory site owners — 5.0★ vs WooCommerce Square's 2.1★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base.
WooCommerce Square has the larger user base (121 reviews vs 3), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Checkout.com Payment Gateway's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.
Recommended by size: small/early-stage site owners who need fast install and low risk should default to Checkout.com Payment Gateway; mid-market and enterprise site owners with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — WooCommerce Square's 121-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Checkout.com Payment Gateway's broader-but-shallower coverage.
This verdict is generated from the live marketplace data on this page — rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position all refresh from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing every 24 hours. AppRanks does not accept payment to influence comparison outcomes; the methodology is documented on the About page and applies identically to every pair on the site.

Both apps are one-click installs from the WordPress Plugin Directory.

Checkout.com Payment Gateway typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (3 reviews). WooCommerce Square typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (121 reviews).

Migration support varies by app and category. Checkout.com Payment Gateway and WooCommerce Square both publish their export options on their marketplace listing pages (or in their support docs); some apps offer one-click import from competitors, others require CSV. The fastest check: search "import from Checkout.com Payment Gateway" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
