Take payments via Virtual Card
The Virtual Card Services (VCS) extension for WooCommerce adds support for accepting payments using the South African payment processing platform, Virtual Card.
VCS allows customers to pay for their purchases via an easy-to-use credit card processing system.
When a user elects to pay for their order using VCS, they are redirected to your merchant account on the VCS website where they are requested to make payment via their credit card.
VCS handles the payments and redirects your visitors back to your website where they can continue browsing through your store.
The Virtual Card Services (VCS) Virtual Terminal extension allows you to accept payments on your WooCommerce site using the South African payment processing platform.
Customers are directed to your merchant account on the VCS website to complete payment with their credit card, then brought back to your website where they can continue browsing.
