Integrating Payoneer as a payment option for your WooCommerce store can offer a hassle-free and reliable method for your customers to make purchases. This guide will walk you through the steps of incorporating Payoneer into your WooCommerce platform, including my personal knowledge and involvement.
Why Payoneer?
Before we dive into the technicalities, let me share a little bit about why I chose Payoneer for my own WooCommerce store. Payoneer is a trusted global payment solution that allows businesses to receive and send payments across borders. With its easy integration and robust security features, Payoneer provides a seamless payment experience for both merchants and customers.
Step 1: Sign Up for a Payoneer Account
The first step is to sign up for a Payoneer account if you don’t already have one. Visit the Payoneer website and click on the “Sign Up” button. Fill in the required information and follow the prompts to create your account. Once your account is verified, you’ll have access to Payoneer’s features and services.
Step 2: Install and Activate the Payoneer Plugin
Next, navigate to your WooCommerce dashboard and go to the “Plugins” section. Search for the Payoneer plugin and click on “Install Now” to add the plugin to your WooCommerce store. Once the installation is complete, activate the plugin.
Step 3: Connect Your Payoneer Account
After activating the Payoneer plugin, you’ll need to connect your Payoneer account to your WooCommerce store. To do this, go to the WooCommerce settings and navigate to the “Payments” tab. Look for the Payoneer option and click on it.
Here, you’ll need to enter your Payoneer API credentials. These credentials can be found in your Payoneer account dashboard. Once you’ve entered the credentials, save the changes.
Step 4: Configure Payment Settings
Once your Payoneer account is connected, it’s time to configure the payment settings. In the WooCommerce settings, go to the “Payments” tab and find the Payoneer option again.
Here, you can customize the payment method title, description, and other settings according to your preference. You can also enable or disable certain features like capturing authorized payments, saving payment tokens, or sending customer details to Payoneer. Make sure to save the changes before proceeding.
Step 5: Test the Integration
Before making Payoneer live on your WooCommerce store, it’s essential to test the integration to ensure everything is working correctly. Create a test product or place a test order to simulate the payment process. Make sure that the payment is processed successfully and the order status is updated accordingly in your WooCommerce dashboard.

Integrating Payoneer into your WooCommerce store can enhance the payment experience for your customers and expand your reach globally.
