Description

Skrill Payment Gateway adds Skrill as a payment method on the WooCommerce checkout screen, displaying the button alongside other methods and sending the order value directly to the Skrill API, allowing you to receive international payments in a digital wallet without leaving the store. It serves those who sell internationally and need to offer a digital wallet payment method alongside card and boleto, without requiring foreign customers’ bank account registration.

How to Download the Skrill Payment Gateway

The Skrill Payment Gateway is available for download here on Ultrapack. After extracting the file, upload the package through the menu Plugins > Add New > Upload plugin of WordPress and activate the gateway on the WooCommerce payments tab. It is necessary to have WooCommerce installed before activating.

Those who sell abroad know that not every foreign customer has a card accepted by the store or feels comfortable providing bank details directly on the checkout. With Skrill active, this buyer completes the purchase through their own account, which avoids payment refusal complaints and reduces the number of support contacts about charges.
