Overview

About this plugin

The Wonderful Payments plugin lets UK WooCommerce stores accept instant Pay by Bank payments using Open Banking. Customers pay directly from their bank account, funds settle immediately to your business account, and checkout friction is reduced. Wonderful works alongside existing payment methods, including card providers such as Stripe and WooPayments.

Pay by Bank for WooCommerce, built for UK merchants

The Wonderful Payments plugin enables UK WooCommerce stores to accept Pay by Bank payments via Open Banking. Customers approve payments in their trusted mobile banking app, with no card details to enter and no sensitive data shared.

Funds settle instantly to your business bank account, improving cash flow and enabling faster order fulfilment.

Why WooCommerce merchants choose Wonderful

Instant settlement

Payments arrive immediately, not days later. This supports faster dispatch, fewer delays, and clearer cash flow.

Lower, predictable costs

Wonderful uses simple, transparent pricing with no percentage-based fees. Lower processing costs give merchants flexibility to reinvest in customer benefits such as faster shipping or loyalty incentives.

A smoother checkout experience

Customers select Pay by Bank, choose their bank, and approve the payment in-app. They are returned automatically to your store to complete their order.

Bank-level security

Every transaction is authorised directly by the customer’s bank using Strong Customer Authentication. No card numbers, passwords, or sensitive credentials are stored, reducing fraud and chargeback risk.

Works alongside existing payment methods

Wonderful does not replace your current checkout. It can be enabled alongside card payments, wallets, and other methods, including Stripe and WooPayments.

Many merchants present Pay by Bank as:

  • a recommended checkout option
  • a faster-dispatch payment choice
  • part of a loyalty or rewards scheme funded by card fee savings
