Payment Gateway Integration

A checkout that gives each order a clear payment state, even when something goes wrong.

The scope

A payment button is the easy part. The difficult part is keeping an order, a provider response and a customer's next step consistent when payment is delayed, declined or repeated. I work on that boundary: gateway setup or custom plugin development, callback handling, testing and a practical handover. The portfolio includes WooCommerce gateways and payment connections to existing stores; it does not claim ownership of the payment providers themselves.

When this helps
  • Your payment provider is not covered well by the platform's standard plugin
  • Orders and payment records can disagree after a redirect or webhook
  • A marketplace, subscription or regional checkout needs a specific payment flow

How I work

Trace the money flow

I review the checkout, provider API, order model and who handles refunds and disputes.

Define the contract

I agree the states, callbacks, credentials and failure behaviour before changing production checkout.

Integrate and test

I build or configure the connection and test it in the provider's available sandbox and the store's staging environment.

Release and observe

I coordinate the switch to live credentials and document the signals that show whether payments and orders remain in sync.

Frequently asked questions

Can you build a payment provider from scratch?

This service connects an existing payment provider to a store or product. Building a regulated payment institution is a different undertaking.

Can you work with a gateway beyond Stripe?

Yes, provided the provider has a usable API or plugin interface. The public cases include several regional gateways, so I assess the provider documentation and settlement flow before estimating.

What if the customer pays but the order stays pending?

That mismatch is one of the main cases to design for. I test callbacks, idempotency and recovery paths within the provider's available interface, then document what staff should check.
