iYi Pay

What is iYi Pay?

iYi Pay is the WooCommerce payments plugin for stores that start on Paystack and sometimes need Stripe.

One WooCommerce gateway. Two processors.

At checkout, customers see one method. You choose the processor under WooCommerce → Settings → Payments → iYi Pay.

The same method works on classic checkout and the Checkout block.

Paystack first

Paystack is the default. The customer is redirected to Paystack to pay by card, bank, or mobile money.

Switch to Stripe when you need it

Switch the processor to Stripe to use standard Stripe Checkout instead. Keys for the processor you are not using stay saved.

Payment verification

The plugin confirms every payment with Paystack or Stripe before it marks the order paid, including the amount and currency.

Webhooks

Webhook URLs are shown in the gateway settings. Paystack and Stripe can notify the store so the order is marked paid even if the shopper never returns.

Refunds

Refunds from the WooCommerce order screen are sent to the active processor.

Test and live mode

Test and live keys are saved together. Test mode charges with test keys; turning it off charges with live keys.

WooCommerce configuration

Open WooCommerce → Settings → Payments → iYi Pay. Choose the processor, turn test mode on or off, and paste the keys for that processor. Copy the webhook URL from the same screen into the Paystack or Stripe dashboard.

License and updates

Front-end checkout requires an active iYi Pay license on production builds. Activate the key under Settings → iYi Pay License. Licensed sites also receive plugin updates from iYi.
