About this plugin
This extension provides a unique combination of payment options for your customers. SnapScan allows South African customers to check out quicker and more securely using the SnapScan app, which encrypts their card details. Customers spend less time at checkout, and more time shopping.
Customers without the SnapScan app can pay using their card details. These payments will reflect alongside your SnapScan payments in your consolidated SnapScan transaction history.
Once the payment process is complete, the order will be created in the WooCommerce system and marked as “processing”, so no manual payment reconciliation is needed.
