E-commerce integration
WooCommerce
A WordPress plug-in built for security-first checkout.
An official WooCommerce extension that embeds Superior Payments hosted fields into WordPress checkout. Customers complete payment without leaving the storefront, but card data never touches WordPress — collapsing PCI scope to a SAQ A.
What you get
Hosted payment fields
Card and ACH inputs render in an iframe served from our vault domain. WordPress, plug-ins, and themes never see PAN or account data.
Subscriptions & memberships
First-class support for WooCommerce Subscriptions and Memberships — tokenized renewals process even after the customer's card is reissued, via account-updater services.
One-click save card
Customers opt to save tokenized payment methods to their account for one-click checkout on return visits.
Surcharge module
Where state law permits, automatic credit-card surcharge calculation at checkout — disclosed clearly to the cardholder per Visa/MasterCard rules.
How it works
From install to live traffic on WooCommerce.
No middleware to maintain, no PCI-scoped infrastructure to host. The flow below is the same whether you're a small business or processing nine figures a year.
- 1
Install the extension
Install via the WordPress plug-in directory or upload the .zip from our portal. Activate, paste your Superior API keys, and the payment method appears in WooCommerce settings.
- 2
Hosted-iframe checkout
On the checkout page, the card and ACH input fields render inside an iframe served from our vault domain. WordPress and all installed plug-ins never see card data — PCI scope stays at SAQ A.
- 3
Saved cards & subscriptions
Customers who opt to save a card get one-click checkout on return. WooCommerce Subscriptions renewals charge tokenized cards-on-file automatically, with account-updater coverage when cards are reissued.
- 4
Order management
Refunds, partial captures, and order-status changes inside WooCommerce sync to Superior in real-time. Webhooks post back to update WooCommerce when async events (settlement, chargebacks) happen on our side.
Who runs it
Where WooCommerce merchants get the most lift.
Three merchant profiles where this integration consistently pays back in the first quarter.
D2C subscription brands
Monthly box subscriptions or membership programs. Tokenized renewals run on schedule; Account Updater handles reissued cards before the customer even notices.
Digital downloads & SaaS
Tokenized customer accounts enable instant re-purchase and license renewals. Built-in AI fraud detection screens out high-risk CNP attempts before authorization.
B2B WooCommerce with company accounts
Multi-user company accounts can share tokenized cards or bank accounts. Level II/III enrichment runs on B2B transactions to qualify for lower interchange.
Better with Superior
Why WooCommerce merchants choose the full stack.
E-commerce merchants on WooCommerce see the biggest lift from Superior AI fraud detection and automated chargeback rebuttal — CNP card fraud and friendly-fraud chargebacks are the dominant cost drivers for D2C merchants. Subscription stores benefit massively from network token enrollment (lifts renewal approval rates 2–5 points) and our account-updater coverage.
Superior AI fraud detection
Proprietary LLM scores every authorization in real time — catches CNP fraud and friendly-fraud patterns before they hit the chargeback line. Included on every Superior account.
How Superior AI worksAutomated chargeback rebuttal
Auto-builds evidence packages with shipping records, AVS, CVV, 3DS data, and submits them on your behalf. No per-win fee, no separate chargeback vendor.

Frequently asked
Common questions from merchants evaluating this integration.
What's the PCI scope?
SAQ A. Card data is collected inside our hosted iframe and never traverses WordPress. Even a compromised WP install or malicious plug-in can't expose card data.
Does it work with WooCommerce Subscriptions and Memberships?
Yes — both plug-ins are first-class supported. Tokenized renewals, mid-cycle plan changes, prorated billing, and trial-to-paid conversions all work natively.
What about WPML / multi-currency stores?
Multi-currency is supported. The integration honors the WooCommerce-selected currency for each transaction; settlement currency is configured per merchant account.
Can we A/B test this against our current gateway?
Yes. The integration coexists with other WooCommerce payment methods. You can route a percentage of traffic through Superior, compare auth rates and chargeback rates, then expand.
Other integrations to consider
Merchants often run more than one. Same Superior account, same vault, same merchant portal.

Why Authorization Rates Vary by Gateway — and How to Lift Yours
Two gateways routing the same card can produce different approve/decline outcomes. The gap is routinely 4–8 percentage points of auth rate — which is revenue. Here's what actually moves the number, and what merchants can do.
