NETOPIA Payments Payment Gateway is a free WordPress plugin designed to extend the payment options available for WooCommerce online shops. This plugin enables merchants to accept a variety of payment methods, including credit and debit cards from Visa and Mastercard, as well as cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The integration is seamless, allowing for real-time order status updates based on payment confirmations or failures. Additionally, the plugin supports automatic handling of IPN responses, enhancing the efficiency of transaction management.

While the NETOPIA Payments Gateway is free to use under the GPLv2 license, users should be aware that future updates may require reconfiguration of the plugin due to potential removal of private keys and certificates. The plugin requires a PHP version of 7 or higher and the openssl and dom extensions to function properly. Overall, it provides a robust solution for merchants looking to expand their payment capabilities.
