Integrating with WooCommerce

Connect with CSG Forte

The WooCommerce plugin gives you the ability to add the transaction processing power of CSG Forte's payment gateway to your Wordpress site. Control the look and feel of your payment form while securely capturing sensitive transaction and customer data on a secure, Forte-hosted form that displays directly on your site. This plugin supports WooCommerce 4.0.0+ and WordPress 5.3.0+ versions. Updates available by request from pluginsmaker.com. Other features include the following:

  • Ensure your customer's data is secure with CSG Forte's high-grade 128-bit TLS merchant communication standard.

  • Reduce cart abandonment while encouraging customer trust by running the checkout process entirely from your site.

  • Get your checkout page up and running faster in just a few configuration steps.

  • Reduce your PCI scope with a secure, hosted form that posts sensitive data directly to CSG Forte's servers instead of your own.

  • Customize which payment methods you want to accept by selecting from the following supported options: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Diners Club, JCB, Discover, and eCheck.

  • Cut down on echeck returns with bank account verification services (available with subscription)
