Everything You Should Know About Plug-Ins

Plugins are the behind-the-scenes heroes of seamless eCommerce. If you're a merchant in the Caribbean or Central America looking to accept online payments, understanding how plugins work and how easy they can make your life, is essential. 

What Is a Payment Plugin? 

A payment plugin is a pre-built integration tool that connects your online store to a payment gateway. It’s what enables your website to securely process credit and debit card transactions without building custom infrastructure from scratch. 

Think of it as a "bridge" between your shopping cart and your payment processor. And with Powertranz, that bridge is fast, reliable, and secure. 

Why Use a Plugin? 

•  No Development Work Needed 
  With the right plugin, there’s no need to hire a developer or code from scratch. Just install, configure with your Powertranz credentials, and you’re ready to start accepting payments. 
  

• Works With the Shopping Carts You Already Use 
  Whether your website is built on Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix or others Powertranz has plugin partners that support them all. 

• Security and Compliance Built-In 
  Plugins provided via Powertranz are built to comply with indsutry standards and include powerful fraud prevention features like 3DS2 authentication and integration with Kount. 

• Multicurrency Support 
  Our plugins support multiple currencies, so you can accept payments from customers around the world, while still working with your local bank.
