Don’t settle for subpar payment processing – upgrade to Barclaycard ePDQ Direct Link for WooCommerce and experience the difference for yourself.

If you need to minimize your PCI compliance requirements and allow customers to make payments on Barclay’s server, be sure to check out our other ePDQ plugin for WooCommerce.

  • Compatibility

    The plugin is compatible and has been tested for WordPress 6.7.1 and WooCommerce 9.5.1 We continue to check compatibility with each new version.

  • Payment Type And Information

    Our direct method gateway plugin allows payment processing on your website. To ensure compliance with PCI standards, you must have an SSL certificate and meet the requirements of SAQ A-EP

  • Supported Payment Methods

    With Barclaycard ePDQ, you can easily accept payments from all major credit cards, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Maestro, and JCB.

  • Hardened Security

    The plugin not only uses the SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) encryption but also uses RIPEMD encryption. This gives you and your customers peace of mind with two security measures in place.

  • Multi-currency support

    The plugin supports the use of an extra multi-currency PSPID account, allowing you to easily accept payments in multiple currencies. With our plugin, you can accept payments for both your primary and multi-currency PSPID accounts, saving you time and hassle.

  • Support For Automatic Refunds

    Say goodbye to logging into ePDQ for refunds – our plugin makes it easy to process refunds directly from your WooCommerce store

  • Full Documentation

    Our plugin comes with comprehensive documentation to help you set up and configure the plugin quickly and easily. Our step-by-step guides and instructions will ensure that you have everything you need to get started.

    Whether you're a beginner or an experienced WooCommerce user, our documentation has you covered.

  • Setup Wizard

    Our plugin includes a setup wizard that will guide you through the entire process of configuring the plugin. The wizard will help you get your store set up and accepting payments with ePDQ in no time at all.

  • Storing Strong API Credentials

    Our plugin allows you to define your API credentials on your website, enhancing security and protecting your sensitive information from hackers. This simple change can help prevent unauthorized access to your API details.

  • Translation Ready

    Our plugin is fully compatible with WPML and other translation tools, making it easy to customize the plugin for your customers' language and locale. This means that you can provide a seamless and user-friendly payment experience for customers from all over the world.

  • MOTO payments support

    Merchants can take payments over the phone directly through their website, without the need to log in to their ePDQ Virtual Terminal. This streamlined process allows merchants to complete transactions faster and more efficiently, helping to improve the overall success of their business.

  • AG Traffic Light System

    Our Traffic Light System feature uses a traffic light system to show the results of CVC, 3D secure, and postcode checks for an order. This helps merchants quickly identify potentially fraudulent orders and take appropriate action. The traffic light system makes it easy to see at a glance whether an order passes or fails each of the checks, providing valuable information to help merchants protect their business.

  • AG Status Check

    Save time and hassle with AG Status Check – our exclusive feature that allows you to automatically or manually check the status of an order directly from your WooCommerce store. No more logging in to the payment provider – just check the status with a single click, right from your WooCommerce order dashboard.

  • Card Tokenization

    You can offer your customers the convenience of saved payment methods, making checkout a breeze. The plugin allows customers to manage their saved payment information from the WooCommerce My Account page, and it uses secure tokenization to store the data on ePDQ's servers.

  • WooCommerce Subscriptions

    Get the most out of your subscription-based online store with ePDQ's support for WooCommerce Subscriptions. Accept recurring payments with ease and manage your subscriptions efficiently, all within your WooCommerce platform.

Barclays ePDQ direct link payment on front end.
The AG simple plugin setup page.
Shop employees can now process refunds for an order paid for with Barclays ePDQ direct link directly from within WooCommerce — no more logging into your Barclays ePDQ account to process refunds!
Our setup wizard will walk you through the whole setup process, helping you get set up in no time at all.
Finally, MOTO payments are now supported! This feature has been requested by our customers. Basically, MOTO (stands for Mail Order/Telephone Order) payments are for people who want to take payments over the phone rather than the traditional way of customers adding items to their cart and checking out on their own.
Quickly and easily check important data about an order. Check if Postcode, address, CVC and 3D secure have passed correctly using ePDQ.

Seriously. It's so refreshing to find a plugin developer that cares.

I will be 1000% honest, My client & I went through the setup progress and faced an error He said, just contact the support team and I laughed

He said, what's funny? I said, support teams, don't care once they have got your money and we left it at that Anyway, a few days later and WOW

I even complimented the guys on how good their service is Replies in minutes goes the extra mile and done all of the hard work for me! Seriously, this is a 10000% honest review, and I am so grateful and it is so refreshing to find a plugin dev who cares and is so kind

Thank you so much guys!!!!

Great support !

This plugin will be a great addition to our site Had to use support and often that can be a drawn out complicated saga but not here Aaron answered my email within 5 mins and did a superb job in supporting us during setup, testing and live activation of this plugin

He clearly knows his stuff and goes out of his way to help, as he identified and corrected issues with our site in quick time I have to say the issue was within our website settings and not the plugin

I would highly recommend this plugin and any of the services offered by Aaron I will not hesitate to buy any other products from him in the future

Needless to say his website is bookmarked! Thanks very much for the excellent support Aaron! 10/10

Barclaycard ePDQ Direct Link for WooCommerce
Fantastic Service

Started using the plugin on a trial for a clients website All parameters in both the plugin and Barclays ePDQ appeared correct but I just couldn't get it to take a payment

I emailed Support and got a quick reply, Aaron was all over it and got things working He went above and beyond what was necessary

Turned out the problem was on the Barclays end (which was expected given how easy the plugin is to set up) I could not recommend the plugin, the company or support highly enough

Thanks again for all your hard work.

Frequently Asked Questions

WordPress Compatibility

Keeping your WordPress site up-to-date is key to ensuring your website runs smoothly and securely. We make sure our plugins work perfectly with the latest versions of WordPress, and we recommend that you always update to the newest version when possible. Our plugins are compatible with WordPress version 6.0 and above.

WooCommerce Compatibility

Our plugins are designed to work seamlessly with WooCommerce, and we suggest using the latest version of WooCommerce for the best performance. We routinely test our plugins with the latest WooCommerce updates to ensure everything works flawlessly. The minimum version of WooCommerce required is 7.1+.

PHP & Server Settings

The version of PHP and your server settings play a big role in how well your website performs. For the best results, we recommend using a server with PHP version 8.1 or higher. While there’s no strict minimum requirement for server settings, a standard hosting package is usually sufficient. Since our plugins require WooCommerce, it’s also a good idea to check out their server recommendations. Rest assured, we regularly test our plugins with the latest versions of WordPress, WooCommerce, and PHP to keep everything running smoothly.

When you purchase a plugin the download links are emailed to you. If you lose this original email, you can login via our account page, you can also request a new password from the account page.

Yes, unless you cancel it, your subscription will renew annually. If you cancel within your first year, your licence will still remain valid for 12 months from the purchase date, during which you can continue to enjoy updates as they are released.

WooCommerce & WordPress are continually evolving and being updated, which means we frequently need to make changes to the plugin to ensure continuing compatibility. In order to update the plugin as new versions are released, you need to have an active licence. Your licence effectively provides you with insurance against issues with the plugin.

The licence is an annual subscription which you may cancel at any time. While your licence is current, you may update the plugin as new versions are released. Once your licence expires, you will no longer be able to update to newer releases, but the plugin will continue to function.

We offer a 30-day guarantee, If you experience an issue that makes the plugin unusable and we are unable to resolve it, we’ll happily consider offering a full refund.

Yes, your licence should work on your staging environment without affecting any site limits. However, should you experience any problems, do get in touch and we’ll do out best to help.

If you’re on a monthly plan, yes, the plugin will no longer work. if you’re on an annual plan, the plugin will continue to work but you will no longer receive support and updates, which could affect compatibility with future WordPress & WooCommerce versions.

We have a blog post with some helpful information on PCI compliance, you can read it here. If you still have questions let us know.

No, there is no special lifetime formula available at the moment. You can only buy an annual license.

  • Easy to Use

    Getting started with our plugins is a breeze, you'll be accepting payments in no time. Our intuitive setup makes the process effortless, even for those new to payment integration.

  • Fast Support

    Our commitment to providing speedy support is a point of pride for us. It's not unusual for us to respond to support requests within just a few minutes, or at most a few hours.
