-
Compatibility
The plugin is compatible and has been tested for WordPress 6.4.1 and WooCommerce 8.3.1 We continue to check compatibility with each new version.
-
Payment Type And Information
Our plugin uses an off-site payment method, which means that customers will be redirected to a secure payment page to complete their transactions. Although this type of payment method does not require an SSL certificate on your site, we still recommend that you have one in place to protect your customers' personal and financial information.
-
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.
-
Supported Payment Methods

Storing Strong API Credentials
The API credentials can now be defined on your website, which means that they are no longer stored in the database. This added security measure ensures that even if a hacker were to gain access to the database through a SQL exploit, they would not be able to see the API credentials.
-
Direct HTTP server-to-server request
With the use of webhooks, you'll never miss a transaction again. This feature sends order data back to the website, ensuring that all transactions are processed smoothly and without any failures or pending status. This helps to improve the overall efficiency and reliability of your online business.
-
WooCommerce Checkout Blocks
Our plugin fully supports the new WooCommerce checkout blocks, allowing you to take advantage of the improved cart and checkout page design. This can help to increase conversion rates and boost the overall success of your online store.
-
MOTO payments support
Merchants can take payments over the phone directly through their website, without the need to log in to their First Data Virtual Terminal. This streamlined process allows merchants to complete transactions faster and more efficiently, helping to improve the overall success of their business.
For more information, see our guide.
-
Card Tokenization
Our plugin allows customers to save their payment details for future checkouts. This feature enables customers to manage their saved payment methods on the WooCommerce My Account page. When this feature is enabled, credit card information is not stored on your site's server, but is instead tokenized and stored on First Data servers. This added security measure helps to protect your customers' information and ensure that their transactions are processed smoothly and securely.
-
Apple Pay and Google Pay support
Enhance your checkout experience by offering Apple Pay and Google Pay as payment options. Customers using compatible browsers and devices will see the payment buttons at checkout, making it easy and convenient to pay with their preferred method.
-
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 store's dashboard.
-
Support For Automatic Refunds
Our First Data Connect for WooCommerce plugin simplifies the refund process, allowing shop employees to process refunds directly within WooCommerce without logging in to First Data.
-
AG Order Check
Our "AG Order Check" 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.
-

I had an issue on our website, customers had an error message when taken to the payment screen Aaron had a look into it and it was something to do with the tax settings, nothing to do with them, but he still helped
Great support!
