Getting your WooCommerce site ready for secure payments is a breeze with the Opayo/Elavon plugin. Here’s everything you need to get started and ensure a smooth setup process.
After installing and activating the plugin, head to:

Encryption Password
Opayo admin panel. Once you have logged into your account as the main admin user, you will select Settings followed by Admin on the left of the screen. You will then see your encryption key.
Our plugin supports Authenticate (reserve funds for future payment) and Payment (immediate fund transfer) transactions. Choose based on your business model, but Payment is generally preferred for most online transactions.
Authenticate: The authorization and data capture (payment request) steps are performed separately at different times. This means that the money remains in the customer’s account until a data capture is performed. Authenticate is useful when you need to reserve funds for a future payment, such as for a hotel reservation or rental car booking.
Payment: Our plugin automatically requests payment (i.e., transfers the amount) immediately after a successful authorization. This type of transaction is often used for goods and services that are delivered online, such as digital products or subscriptions.
To proceed with the next step, you’ll need to log in to the Opayo back office.
Ensure your server IP is whitelisted in the Opayo back office for seamless communication. Use tools like Site24x7 to find your server IP, then add it along with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.000.
The Opayo server integration comes with a number of design choices for how your payment page will look.
To change your option, you must head over to the settings tab in your Opayo back office, and in the Account settings section click the edit button. You will then be shown the following:
