Description
HandyPay for WooCommerce adds HandyPay as a payment method on your WooCommerce store. Customers check out as usual and you settle to a local bank account, built for the Caribbean: Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, St. Lucia, Antigua, Guyana, the Bahamas and major markets.
At checkout, customers are redirected to HandyPay’s secure hosted page to pay, then returned to your store. Card data never touches your server (PCI SAQ-A). Works with both the classic shortcode checkout and the WooCommerce Cart/Checkout blocks.
Issue full or partial refunds right from the WooCommerce order screen – they are processed through HandyPay automatically. Disputes are managed from the HandyPay Payments plugin and the HandyPay merchant dashboard.
Requires
This add-on needs WooCommerce and the free HandyPay Payments plugin, active and connected to your HandyPay account. HandyPay Payments is not hosted in the WordPress.org directory – download it from handypay.me.
External services
This plugin connects to the HandyPay payments API (https://api.handypay.me) to create checkout sessions and process card payments through HandyPay’s payment processor (Stripe). This is required for the plugin to accept payments.
- When: when a customer places an order using HandyPay, and when the store owner views or manages payments.
- Data sent: order amount and currency, order/line item descriptions, the customer’s email (if provided at checkout), and your HandyPay API key for authentication. Raw card details are collected by HandyPay/Stripe directly and are never sent to or stored on your site.

FAQ
-
Do I need the HandyPay Payments plugin?
-
Yes. This gateway uses the connection and API key from the HandyPay Payments plugin. It is a free download from handypay.me (not hosted in the WordPress.org directory). If it is missing, the gateway stays inactive and an admin notice links to the download.
-
Is card data PCI compliant?
-
Yes. Customers pay on HandyPay’s hosted page, so raw card data never touches your server (PCI SAQ-A).
-
How do refunds work?
-
Open the order in WooCommerce Orders, click Refund, and issue a full or partial refund – it is processed through HandyPay automatically. You can also refund from the HandyPay Payments plugin or the HandyPay dashboard.

Changelog
1.0.1
- Removed handypay-payments from the Requires Plugins header. That plugin is distributed from handypay.me rather than the WordPress.org directory, so the header cannot resolve it. The dependency is handled by a runtime check whose admin notice links to the download.
1.0.0
- First public release: HandyPay payment gateway for WooCommerce (hosted checkout), block checkout support, native full/partial refunds from the WooCommerce order screen, and Caribbean local-bank settlement.
