WooCommerce: Set up the Verifone Hosted Cart on your WooCommerce store (NZ)

Learn how to integrate the Verifone Hosted Cart with WooCommerce to accept eCommerce transactions on your website

Verifone’s WooCommerce setup documentation

Before following Verifone’s global setup instructions, read this article first. It includes critical NZ-specific advice and tips from our local support team to help you get set up smoothly.

What you'll need

• A Verifone Central account with Online Payments enabled

• Administrator access to your WooCommerce store

Manual setup recommended

While Verifone provides an Automatic Setup option for WooCommerce, we recommend following the manual setup process instead. This gives you more control over your configuration.

You’ll find manual configuration instructions in Verifone’s documentation here:

• WooCommerce manual setup guide

Key setup tips for New Zealand merchants

Set your Verifone account region to 'NZAU (New Zealand)'

• This ensures the correct features and settings are applied

• Do not select other regions

Organisation ID

• Go to Administration > Account Setup > Organisation Company and Sites

• Select your organisation and copy the Organisation ID

• Paste it into the plugin exactly as it appears in Verifone Central

Important: Avoid IDs with "Account" or "Site" in the name. Choose the one linked to your eCommerce Payment Provider Contract.

Generate your Secure Card Capture Key under “Account:”

This key must be created at the Account level, not site level

• Navigate to your entity in Verifone Central that starts with "Account:"

• Go to Secure Card Capture and click Create new public key

Fraud Protection not available in NZ

• Global documentation refers to Fraud Protect, but NZ uses 3DS (3D Secure)

• In the plugin settings, enable 3DS and enter your 3DS Contract ID

Select “Sale” as the transaction type

• In Card Payment Settings, choose Sale

• Avoid “Authorize” or “Tokenize” unless advised otherwise by our support team

• These can cause transaction issues or unexpected behaviour in NZ

Alternate Payment Methods (APMs) not available

• Verifone’s documentation mentions APMs like Apple Pay or PayPal

• These are not currently supported in the NZ configuration

Test credentials

• If you choose to enable Test mode, you will need to enter Test Credentials
• Contact our support team if you need assistance with this
