FaltaPay – Middle East Payment Gateways for WooCommerce, MemberPress, Give & More

Maelezo

Choose your payment gateway, connect it once, then accept payments through every integration you switch on. They all use the same credentials, so there is nothing to configure twice. More than one gateway can be switched on at the same time, and each integration can be told which of them to offer.

Card details are entered on a page served by the gateway and never touch your site, which keeps you within SAQ-A scope.

Supported payment gateways

• HyperPay, through its COPYandPAY form
• Tap Payments, through its hosted payment page

Integrations

The free plugin supports WooCommerce, including WooCommerce Subscriptions.

MemberPress, GiveWP, ProfilePress, Paid Memberships Pro, LifterLMS, Tutor LMS, Resala, and Gravity Forms and Ninja Forms for one-time form payments, all need FaltaPay Pro.

Payment methods

• Cards, with the schemes you pick: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, JCB, Diners Club, Discover
• mada (SAR only)
• STC Pay (SAR only)
• Apple Pay
• Google Pay
• American Express on its own entity, if your acquirer issues one

Each one is switched on individually, per currency, and only the methods FaltaPay can actually process in that currency are offered.

Features

• Test and live modes with separate credentials
• Immediate charge or pre-authorise and capture later
• Automatic renewals for WooCommerce Subscriptions, using a card stored securely at your payment gateway
• Refunds from the order screen
• One encrypted webhook endpoint shared by every module
• Optional request logging while you are setting things up

Currencies

Some gateways issue a separate ID for each payment method and each currency, and the plugin asks for exactly what your gateway needs and nothing else. Currencies are read straight from the integrations you switch on, so you set the currency where you always did.

Automatic renewals

Tap can store cards and mada for automatic renewals, and HyperPay supports recurring on cards, mada and the wallets. WooCommerce needs WooCommerce Subscriptions, which owns the renewal schedule while FaltaPay makes each charge. Either way your gateway has to be able to store a card, and a payment method that cannot be renewed is hidden at checkout rather than taking money it cannot charge again. Plans whose first payment is zero, such as free trials, are not supported yet.

A merchant account with one of the supported payment gateways is required.

External services

This plugin does not process payments itself. It connects your site to the payment gateway you choose, and only to the one you switch on, to create checkouts, read payment results and process refunds. Customers enter their card details on that gateway’s own page.

Data sent in each case: order amount, currency, order reference, and the customer’s name, email, phone and billing address. Sent whenever a customer starts a payment, when the result is read on their return, and when a refund is issued.

FaltaPay includes Freemius for optional usage-data collection, account management, licensing and updates. When you activate FaltaPay, Freemius asks whether you want to opt in. If you opt in, it sends your site URL, WordPress and PHP versions, plugin version, and the name and email of the activating administrator so the site can be associated with your account. Installing and using the Free plugin without opting in does not send this data. Activating FaltaPay Pro also uses Freemius for license and update delivery. No payment, order or customer data is sent to Freemius.
