The best payment gateway boilerplate you will ever need. Start developing your payment gateway straight away for WooCommerce. All the basics are already covered for you.
The boilerplate offers you the ability to start implementing the payment gateway's api of your choice without coding the base from scratch. The main functions, actions and filter hooks are already in place for you to not only develop quicker but for a smoother process in developing the payment gateway. It is ready to support credit cards, custom payment fields, custom instructions and more.
If the documentation provided doesn’t help you then you can use the forum topic to ask any questions about the boilerplate and either I or the community will respond.
- Support for WooCommerce Pre-orders
- Support for WooCommerce Subscriptions
I have started writing an extension class to support payments for the subscriptions and pre-orders but please note that it is incomplete and has not yet been tested out.
The WooCommerce Payment Gateway Boilerplate includes the following files:
- This README.md
- CHANGELOG.md
- CONTRIBUTING.md
- license.txt file
.editorconfigfile..gitattributesfile..gitignorefile..composer.jsonfile.Gruntfile.jsfile.package.jsonfile- A subdirectory called
woocommerce-payment-gateway-boilerplatethat represents the core of the payment gateway files.
- Copy the
woocommerce-payment-gateway-boilerplatedirectory into yourwp-content/pluginsdirectory - Navigate to the Plugins dashboard page
- Locate 'WooCommerce Payment Gateway Boilerplate'
- Click on Activate
This will activate the WooCommerce Payment Gateway Boilerplate and I recommend that you install it on a development site not a live site.
The WooCommerce Payment Gateway Boilerplate uses a variable to store the text domain used when internationalizing strings throughout the Boilerplate. To take advantage of this method, there are tools that are recommended for providing correct, translatable files:
Any of the above tools should provide you with the proper tooling to localize the plugin.
The WooCommerce Payment Gateway Boilerplate includes native support for the GitHub Updater which allows you to provide updates to your payment gateway from GitHub.
This uses a new tag in the plugin header:
* GitHub Plugin URI: https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>
Here's how to take advantage of this feature:
- Install the GitHub Updater
- Replace the url of the repository for your plugin
- Push commits to the master branch
- Enjoy your plugin being updated in the WordPress dashboard
The current version of the GitHub Updater supports tags/branches - whichever has the highest number.
To specify a branch that you would like to use for updating, just add a GitHub Branch: header. GitHub Updater will preferentially use a tag over a branch having the same or lesser version number. If the version number of the specified branch is greater then the update will pull from the branch and not from the tag.
The default state is either GitHub Branch: master or nothing at all. They are equivalent.
All that info is in the project.
Documentation will be provided via the GitHub wiki pages. -- Coming Soon --
