Description
“Pagamento de Serviços” (payment of services) on Multibanco (Portuguese ATM network), and MB WAY (using the customer’s mobile phone number), are the most popular ways to pay for services and (online) purchases in Portugal.
Portuguese consumers trust the “Multibanco” and “MB WAY” payment methods more than any other.
This plugin generates a “Multibanco” Payment Reference that customers can use to pay for their FluentCart orders at an ATM or via home banking, or an “MB WAY” payment request which will send a push notification to the customer’s mobile phone for payment approval.
Soon, this plugin will also have support for Credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Payshop, Cofidis, and PIX.
This is the official ifthenpay plugin, and a contract with this company is required. Technical support is provided by Naked Cat Plugins (by Webdados) on the WordPress.org support forums.
Features
- Generates a Multibanco Reference for simple payment on the Portuguese ATM network or home banking service;
- Allows the customer to pay using MB WAY using their mobile phone;
- Possibility of setting an expiration date for Multibanco references;
- Automatically changes the order status to “Processing” (or “Completed” if the order only contains virtual downloadable products) and notifies both the customer and the store owner if the automatic “Webhook/Callback” upon payment is activated;
- Automatic “Webhook/Callback” can be activated via the plugin settings screen for each payment method;
External services
