WooCommerce Elavon Converge Gateway

Description

The Elavon Converge Gateway processes credit card payments directly in the WooCommerce checkout using the Elavon API (formerly VirtualMerchant), capturing the card data within the store itself without redirecting the customer outside. The extension authorizes, captures, and refunds transactions in the order panel, and is intended for those who run WooCommerce stores and need a gateway with an active Elavon merchant account to sell by card.

Key Features of the Elavon Converge Gateway

• Checkout integrated into the store
  Collects card details within the WooCommerce checkout itself, with no external redirection.
• Connection to the Converge API
  Communicates with the Elavon Converge platform to authorize transactions in real time.
• Authorization and capture in the panel
  Lets you separate card authorization from the actual value capture through the order panel.
• Refunds via admin
  Enables sending partial or full refunds from the WooCommerce order screen.
• Configuration via merchant keys
  Adds fields for Merchant ID, User ID, and the PIN of the Elavon account in the payments tab.

Benefits of the Elavon Converge Gateway

• Seamless shopping experience
  Keeps the customer in the store during payment, reducing friction from redirections.
• Centralized order management
  Consolidates charging, capture, and refund in the same panel where the store is already managed.
• Use of the merchant account

Who Is the Elavon Converge Gateway For?

• Anyone who already has an Elavon merchant account and wants to connect it to a WooCommerce store.
