WiPay Payment Gateway

WiPay Payment Gateway lets WooCommerce stores in Angola and the DRC accept local digital payments through a single integration. Customers pick their preferred payment method on the secure WiPay hosted payment page, and your store is notified the moment the payment completes.

Payment methods

• Angola: Multicaixa Express, Referências Multicaixa, é-Kwanza, PayPay, Unitel Money, Afrimoney
• DRC: Illicocash (Rawbank)

Features

• Simple setup – paste your WiPay Client ID and Client Secret. The plugin creates and renews the OAuth2 access tokens automatically.
• Secure callbacks – every payment notification is verified with an HMAC-SHA-256 signature before the order is updated.
• Checkout your way – the payment page opens in a modal inside the checkout, or in a popup page.
• Classic and Blocks checkout – works with the shortcode checkout and the WooCommerce Cart & Checkout blocks.
• HPOS compatible – supports WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage.
• Sandbox ready – use your sandbox credentials to test, and your production credentials to go live. No code changes.
• Order insights – the WiPay transaction ID and status are shown on the order screen and in the orders list.
• Debug logging – optional logs under WooCommerce > Status > Logs.

Requirements

• WooCommerce 7.0 or higher
• PHP 7.4 or higher
• An SSL certificate (HTTPS)
• A WiPay merchant account – sign up at wipay.ao

External services

This plugin connects to the WiPay payment service, operated by WiPay (Angola), to create payments and receive their results. It is required for the plugin to work.

• Access tokens – when you save the settings and when a payment is made, your Client ID and Client Secret are sent to https://api.wipay.ao/v1/credentials/token to obtain short-lived access tokens.
