WooCommerce Boarding Guide with SkyVerge's plugin

WooCommerce Boarding Guide with SkyVerge's plugin

Overview

  1. WooCommerce is a third party plugin that turns your WordPress site into an eCommerce store.
  2. Skyverge’s WooCommerce plugin uses Cybersource’s Flex Microform payment form, ensuring your page meets SAQ A PCI compliance whilst also providing a seamless checkout for your customers.
  3. It uses ‘hosted fields’ to process payments, meaning that sensitive payment data is never handled by your business servers. Instead, the data is sent directly to CyberSource.
