Nexi XPay

This module allows you to connect your e-commerce website to the XPay payment gateway. XPay is Nexi’s service that enables you to accept online and mobile payments easily and quickly.

XPay is the payment gateway provided by Nexi, a leading group in Italy with the goal of shaping the future of digital payments.

Nexi has a strong market position, managing 44 million payment cards and processing transactions totaling 186 billion euros. It has 860,000 affiliated points of sale in Italy, including over 18,000 e-commerce platforms that use the XPay payment gateway.

XPay allows you to accept online payments and is compatible with all major payment circuits. It can handle all sales channels, including e-commerce and mobile.

The XPay extension for WordPress/WooCommerce enables you to integrate the XPay payment gateway into your website without additional implementations. It manages the customer’s transition from your website to the secure Nexi environment and vice versa. The customer remains on your e-commerce site until the checkout process and is then redirected to the secure Nexi environment for payment. You don’t need to handle any sensitive data.

The extension is regularly updated to incorporate the advancements and improvements of XPay.

To use the extension, you need an XPay account, which you can easily obtain online at https://ecommerce.nexi.it/.

Bancomat Pay The plugin updates the order status through a notification sent by Nexi’s servers. If the module doesn’t receive the notification correctly, it won’t be able to update the status. By default, in case of notification issues (unreachable site, errors received from the merchant’s site), the transaction is canceled, even if the payment is successfully completed. This behavior ensures that the status of Nexi transactions aligns with the order status in the CMS. The option to cancel the transaction in case of failed notification is not available with the Bancomat Pay payment method. In case of notification anomalies, there might be discrepancies between the order status returned by the plugin and the actual transaction status on the Nexi side. Therefore, the following scenario may occur: the Bancomat Pay payment is successfully made with a positive outcome, but due to a notification problem, the plugin is unable to update the order status to “Processing.” This payment method doesn’t support transaction refunds. In case of a refund, the merchant will need to proceed with a bank transfer or another method.
