About this plugin
HandyPay lets you accept card payments on your WordPress site without WooCommerce or a complicated checkout setup. Create a payment button, then drop it on a page, share it as a URL, or paste it in an email.
Why HandyPay?
- One button, three ways to use it — embed on a page, share a URL, paste raw HTML on any site.
- Unlimited buttons — one for every service, product, or tier. Manage them all from one screen.
- Sharable payment links — /handypay/pay/your-slug URLs you can drop in DMs, emails, social bios.
- Reusable or one-time — pay-me-anytime tip jar, or single-use ticket link that expires after one purchase.
- Custom design — colors, padding, corner radius, font (built-in Matter, Google Fonts, or upload your own).
- Live preview — see the button update as you configure it.
- Built-in dashboard — revenue stats, recent payments, status breakdown, sparkline chart.
- Powered by HandyPay — a complete merchant platform, including a mobile app, payouts, and dispute management.
HandyPay Pro
HandyPay Pro is an optional paid upgrade ($29/month):
- Reduced transaction fees on every payment.
- Custom payment-page branding — your logo, colors, and a footer message — added by the separate HandyPay Pro add-on, installed from handypay.me.
The “Secure checkout powered by HandyPay” credit on the payment page is off by default and only appears if you turn it on under HandyPay → Settings.
