Adding a new gateway to WooCommerce is only one part of the payment setup. The store also needs clear product pages, clean policies, working order emails and a mobile checkout that does not confuse buyers.

  • Order confirmation email content
  • Plugin conflicts around checkout and redirects
  • Mobile checkout experience
