WooCommerce Bambora Gateway (ex Beanstream Gateway)

Description

The Bambora / Beanstream add-on connects the WooCommerce checkout to the Bambora processor (formerly Beanstream), processing credit cards directly in your store without redirecting the customer to an external page. Built for sellers in Canada and the United States who need a local gateway with competitive fees, it keeps the buyer on the store domain during the entire payment, preserving the brand experience and reducing friction when completing the order.

Key Features of Bambora / Beanstream

• Direct API billing
  Sends the card data to the Bambora API without redirecting the customer.
• Checkout without leaving the store
  Renders the card fields within the WooCommerce checkout form itself.
• Configurable transaction capture
  Allows you to authorize and capture immediately or authorize and capture manually later.
• Integrated test mode
  Switches between sandbox and production environments through the plugin panel.
• Support for multiple currencies
  Processes payments in the currencies accepted by the configured Bambora account.
