SnapScan Payment Gateway

This extension provides a unique combination of payment options for your customers. SnapScan allows South African customers to check out quicker and more securely using the SnapScan app, which encrypts their card details. Customers spend less time at checkout, and more time shopping. Customers without the SnapScan app can pay using their card details. These payments will reflect alongside your SnapScan payments in your consolidated SnapScan transaction history. Once the payment process is complete, the order will be created in the WooCommerce system and marked as “processing”, so no manual payment reconciliation is needed.

Why choose SnapScan?

SnapScan is the preferred way for South Africans to pay with their phones. You may know the app from your favourite weekend market or local coffee shop, but SnapScan also provides payment solutions for larger merchants: from payments and invoicing for Pathcare laboratories to online checkout for big brands like Superbalist, OneDayOnly and Yuppiechef. SnapScan’s rate starts at 3% (excl. VAT) per transaction, and can decrease every month based on the previous month’s turnover.

How do I start using SnapScan?

To get started with SnapScan, you need a merchant account. Head over to www.snapscan.co.za to complete the online signup process. This generally takes 3-5 business days, and the sooner SnapScan gets the required info the quicker it is to get set up. Once your account has been verified, you can request the WooCommerce integration details from their team. When the plugin has been integrated, after a customer has paid, their order is automatically completed and the website updates. As a merchant, your order list displays confirmation of the SnapScan payment, and you can begin the delivery process.
