About this plugin
“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.
Customers can also pay by credit or debit card, on ifthenpay’s secure payment page.
Soon, this plugin will also have support for Apple Pay, Google Pay, Payshop, Cofidis, and PIX.
This is the official ifthenpay plugin, and a contract with this company is required. org support forums.
