About this plugin
Besteron Payment Gateway connects WooCommerce stores to the Besteron payment gateway. Customers are redirected to Besteron to complete the payment, and the order is marked as paid only after the plugin verifies the transaction on the server.
Main features
- Redirect payment flow through Besteron.
- Server-side transaction status verification through the Besteron Passive API.
- Separate testing and live access profiles.
- Automatic access profile selection by domain, language and currency.
- Write-only KEY and API KEY fields in the WordPress administration.
- WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage compatibility.
- WooCommerce Blocks checkout compatibility.
- Optional diagnostic logging with redacted data.
- Optional data removal during plugin uninstall.
Requirements
- WordPress 6.2 or newer.
- WooCommerce 8.2 or newer.
- PHP 7.4 or newer.
- A Besteron merchant account and access credentials.
- PHP OpenSSL support is recommended for encrypted storage of new secret values.
Payment verification
The plugin does not complete an order only because a customer returns from a payment page. The server checks the Besteron transaction status and compares the transaction ID, amount, currency and order number before WooCommerce receives the payment completion signal.
External services
This plugin connects to Besteron payment services to create payment transactions and verify transaction status. The external service is required for the payment gateway to work.
Live mode endpoints:
- https://gate.besteron.com
- https://passive.besteron.com
Testing mode endpoints:
- https://gate.snd.besteron.com
- https://passive.snd.besteron.com
When a customer chooses Besteron as the payment method, the plugin sends data required for payment processing to Besteron, including order number, order amount, currency, selected order item data, return URL, notification URL, customer email address, customer phone number when available, and billing and delivery address data. The plugin also contacts Besteron during scheduled or manual transaction status checks.
The plugin does not contact Besteron on activation or during normal site page loads before the gateway is configured and used.
The plugin does not collect, store or process payment card numbers, CVV codes or other card authentication data. Payment card entry and payment authorization are handled by Besteron payment infrastructure.

Privacy
The plugin stores Besteron transaction identifiers, transaction status values, selected access profile information, gateway settings and, when enabled by the administrator, redacted diagnostic log entries. Access KEY and API KEY values are write-only in the administration and are encrypted before storage when the server supports the required OpenSSL cipher.
Diagnostic logging is disabled by default. When enabled, diagnostic logs are visible only to authorized WooCommerce administrators and are limited to the newest stored entries.
The plugin adds suggested privacy policy text to the WordPress privacy policy guide.
Configuration
- Select the gateway environment: testing or live.
- Add one or more Besteron access profiles.
- Assign access profiles by domain, language and currency when the store uses multiple domains or markets.
- Select allowed payment methods.
- Enable scheduled transaction status verification.
- Keep diagnostic logging disabled unless troubleshooting is required.
