WooCommerce, the e-commerce platform developed by Automattic, has teamed up with Viva Wallet to offer a free Pan-European native payments gateway solution.
„Viva Wallet for WooCommerce is a continuously growing smart mechanism for frictionless payments that adapts automatically to client use. Each recurring updated version of Viva Wallet’s extension will bring the payment method choices that increase the conversion rate of the online store higher up in the option list, based on local targeting parameters,” according to the press release.
For example, merchants located in any country (e.g. Belgium), might see local payment methods (e.g. bancontact) move higher up in the order of payments, based on actual user’s preferences and devices used. To further improve its feature list Viva Wallet will actively involve merchants through a social media platform and will offer additional enhanced customisation options.

With the easy to integrate, free Viva Wallet for WooCommerce, we help merchants increase their online sales through integrated support for all major international schemes and many local payment methods. Combined with the free Viva Wallet business debit Mastercard, WooCommerce merchants may now reduce payments fees down to 0%,” said Makis Antypas, Viva Wallet‘s CIO and Cο-Founder.
