How I Built a WooCommerce Payment Gateway for Vietnamese Banks

Source: Dev.to

Introduction

Running an e‑commerce store in Vietnam? International payment gateways often don’t support local banks, leading to cart abandonment. This plugin adds QR Code and Internet Banking support to WooCommerce, letting customers pay with familiar Vietnamese methods.

Features

• Local payment options: QR Code, Internet Banking, ATM cards, and popular Vietnamese e‑wallets.
• Seamless checkout: No redirects to external sites; the checkout stays on your domain.
• Instant payment notifications: Orders update automatically when payment is confirmed.
• Broad bank coverage: Supports major Vietnamese banks that international gateways ignore.
• MIT licensed: Free to use, modify, and distribute.
