Overview
- WooCommerce is a third party plugin that turns your WordPress site into an eCommerce store.
- 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.
- 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.
