This plugin will add a Lloyds Cardnet payment gateway to your WooCommerce website.

  • Works with Lloyds Cardnet Connect.
  • Process refunds directly in your WooCommerce admin panel.
  • 3D Secure V2 authentication.
  • PSD2 (Payment Services Directive) ready.

We are committed to providing our customers with the ongoing development of our plugin, with regular updates in line with WooCommerce/WordPress or Lloyds Cardnet Connect releases to ensure your payment gateway never lets you down.

  • Compatibility

    The plugin is compatible and has been tested for WordPress 5.9.3 and WooCommerce 6.5.1 We continue to check compatibility with each new version.

  • Payment Type And Information

    This is an off-site method gateway plugin, customers navigate away from your site to complete the payment process. We would still recommend that you have an SSL in place.

  • 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

    Accept all major credit cards
    Visa®, MasterCard®, American Express®, Maestro & JCB

  • Support For Automatic Refunds

    Shop employees can now process refunds for an order paid for with Lloyds Cardnet directly from within WooCommerce — no more logging into your Lloyds Cardnet account to process refunds!

  • Full Documentation

    Nobody wants to get lost so you get full documentation to make sure you can setup the plugin step by step.

  • Setup Wizard

    Once the plugin has been activated a setup wizard is shown to walk you through the whole setup process, helping you get set up in no time at all.

  • Storing Strong API Credentials

    You can now define the API credentials on your website, this means that the API credentials are no longer stored in the database, should a hacker gain access to the database via a SQL exploit the API credentials are not visible to them.

  • Direct HTTP server-to-server request

    Never miss a transaction again with this feature. Order data is sent back to the website so no more failed or pending transactions

  • Translation Ready

    This plugin is compatible with WPML and other translation tools.
    The plugin and setup wizard has also been translated to French, German, Dutch, and Italian. This means you can get set up and working in your language easier.

  • WooCommerce Checkout Blocks

    Our plugin fully supports WooCommerce checkout blocks. Take advantage of the new cart and checkout page design and improve conversion rates.

  • MOTO payments support

    Merchants now have the opportunity to receive orders and send deliveries in a flash by taking payments over the phone with MOTO payments via their website. No need to login to their First Data Virtual Terminal anymore.

Our plugin fully supports WooCommerce checkout blocks. Take advantage of the new cart and checkout page design and improve conversion rates.
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.

Excellent Product and Service

The plugin is super easy to setup and after having some issues connecting to the payment system, the guys at weareag responded almost immediately and even engaged with Cardnet themselves to help resolve the issue Fast, friendly and professional - wouldn't hesitate to recommend

Plugin installation support

We had some difficulties installing Lloyds plugin to a clients websites, but once we've contacted the AG support the team - they were super helpful and extremely fast to address and fix the issue we had Thank you AG!

  • Nigel Wilkinson
Superb Communication, Amazing Help, FANTASTIC Company.

We have worked with our fair share of payment companies, and gateway providers....none of these previous companies have come close to the professionalism that we have received whilst working with the We are AG. Our biggest bugbear when it comes to email, is slow replies, something that when you're dealing with payment processing, needs quick responses Aaron was replying to us within minutes, which meant we were able to set up our Plugin within the hour and iron out any teething issues extremely quickly

The Lloyds Cardnet Plugin is a simple, easy and fluid way to take payments on our website, without having to hear the old "I don't have a PayPal account, can I still order?" We can 100% recommended We are AG

Being a web design agency, ourselves, having a company that we can rely on for great communication/support is vital Thanks, guys, we look forward to working with you once again in the near future

Great Support

Really impressed by the help I was given to get everything setup There is not quite as much information around for Cardnet as there is with other gateways, so the help was really needed and appreciated to get things integrated quickly for the client.

  • Lauren Agnew

Highly recommended

I was very doubtful when I first started using Lloyds Cardnet, since I have had experienced a lot of problems with the previous plugin that i've used But this came to me highly recommended and is one of the best investments that I had for my site

Must say that the AG team knows their stuff and will always meet your need, providing the most up to date service.
