WooCommerce integration guide

After you’ve installed and activated the plugin, iwocaPay becomes available as an additional payment option in your WooCommerce checkout. Payments made through iwocaPay automatically reconcile with your store data, simplifying your payment processing.

With iwocaPay, your customers can pay in instalments (through the Pay Later option), or they can pay in full (with the Pay Now option), which uses instant bank-to-bank transfers at no extra cost.
