About this plugin
Launa for WooCommerce is the agentic commerce extension for WooCommerce. It is not only a payment method.
Buying agents can discover and search your catalog, create a cart, check out, and pay — using Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) and x402. Human shoppers get the same x402 wallet payment on the store pay page. You keep WooCommerce for products, customers, and orders.
The x402 hop on the UCP surface follows AxLabs/ucp-x402-binding.
This plugin was previously Ax402 for WooCommerce. Ax402 was rebranded to Launa, so the plugin is now Launa for WooCommerce. org slug stays ax402-for-woocommerce.
The source repository is now AxLabs/launa-woocommerce-extension.
Your wallets. No take rate on sales.
You set the payout wallets (one EVM address for all EVM networks, plus a Hedera account if you enable Hedera tokens). Settlements go to those wallets. There is no payment intermediary that holds the funds.
Launa facilitates settlement: payment endpoints, the token list, and confirmation. Launa does not take a percentage of products sold.
Catalog prices stay in USD. Shoppers and agents pay in the settlement tokens you enable from your Launa platform config (for example USDC). Launa covers network fees for those payments.
Works with classic checkout, Cart / Checkout Blocks, and HPOS.
You need a Launa merchant account and API key.
For merchants
- WooCommerce payment method launa with a readiness checklist
- Settlement tokens synced from Launa (stablecoins 1:1 with the USD total; other tokens use Launa FX)
- Human pay page: wallet connect, network switch, balance checks
- Orders stay in WooCommerce → Orders
- Optional “Powered by Launa” on the pay page (off by default)
For buying agents
- UCP discovery at /.well-known/ucp and shopping at /wp-json/ucp/v1 (catalog, cart, checkout, order, MCP)
- x402 payment required at checkout complete — agents pay resource.url, then complete again
- Legacy agent REST at /wp-json/launa/v1 (products, create order, status)
UCP is on by default. Turn it off in Launa settings if you do not want agent discovery. That does not change the human pay page.
External services
This plugin does not include analytics, advertising pixels, or other tracking. It contacts the services below only to run Launa / x402 payments (and Hedera wallet connect when you enable it). Saving a Launa API key in WooCommerce settings is consent to use Launa.
WalletConnect, Hedera Mirror Node, and public RPC calls run in the shopper’s browser when they choose to pay.

Public EVM RPC endpoints
The shopper’s browser may call public EVM JSON-RPC URLs from token metadata or ethereum-lists chain files (via the GitHub Contents API) for balance checks, chain switching, and payment signing. Exact RPC URLs vary by chain. Wallet extensions (for example MetaMask) run locally; private keys never leave the wallet.
