Help Tools

If you plan on using Nuvei Rebilling, press the Sync Payment Plans button to get the latest payment plan from your merchant profile.
The Notify URL is where the DMNs are delivered. It must be accessible to the public. Please provide this email to the Integration team, so it can be added in the merchant configuration and later be used in the Nuvei Rebilling system.

Press Save changes on any tab to save you settings.

Payment Page

Select a product from your shop and go to the Payment Page.
Enter your billing details, select the Nuvei payment option, and press Continue.
If the merchant uses Simply Connect as checkout, the client sees a similar screen (depending on the theme).
If the merchant uses the Cashier as a checkout option, the client is redirected to the hosted payment page. The actual page may be different depending on the merchant theme.

If you press “Go Back“, you are re-directed to your shop’s checkout page.
Upon successful payment, you are redirected to your shop successful order page.

Order Payment Status Update

Order payment details can be found in WooCommerce > Orders menu. Press on any order to see the details.

For each order processed with Nuvei, there are order trace notes to help track the payment process.

Once the order is saved and the user is redirected to the secured checkout page, the order status changes to “pending payment”.
After successful payment, the transaction is processed and the order status is updated in the background.

To have your order payment status updated, you should:

Enable your Notify URL (see Plugin Configuration) for public use.
Enable DMNs in the merchant account settings (contact Integration/Technical Support team).

Order Details

The Order Details page and the logs (if they are enabled) are the two places where the merchant can see what happened with an order.

If the merchant flow is “Auth & Settle” (Transaction Type option), all new orders have status “Pending payment” and under the Items you see two buttons: Refund and Settle.

Use the Settle button to settle the Order and use the Refund button to request a refund. For each button, you must confirm your action. After the action completes, notes with information are created.
If the merchant flow is “Sell” or the order was Settled, the following two buttons are available: Refund and Void. You can either request a refund or void your transaction.

For supported refund amount, please contact Integration. After the process is finished, the notes are saved.

When the refunded amount is equal to the total order amount, WooCommerce changes the status to “Refunded”. If you void your order, the status is changed to “Canceled”.

If your refund is rejected for some reason, you must manually delete the created Refund record.

Read the order notes carefully!
