Connect WooCommerce to Local Payments in Latin America

Accept Bre-B, PSE, Nequi, cards, and WhatsApp payments without custom code.

Problem

• Customers abandon checkout when their preferred payment method isn’t available
• International payment providers have low approval rates in LATAM
• Manual WhatsApp sales don’t scale
• Payment failures cost you revenue

What You’ll Build

• WooCommerce store with LATAM payment methods
• Bre-B, PSE, Nequi, cards, wallets
• WhatsApp checkout links
• Automatic retry and failover

Architecture

WooCommerce → Orangepill → Local Payment Methods → WhatsApp

Your store stays the same. Orangepill handles routing, retries, and regional payment methods.

Steps

1. Install Orangepill Plugin

In your WordPress admin:

• Go to Plugins → Add New
• Search “Orangepill Payments”
• Click Install Now → Activate

2. Configure API Keys

Navigate to WooCommerce → Settings → Payments → Orangepill:

API Key: sk_live_...
Webhook Secret: whsec_...

Get keys from console.orangepill.cloud

3. Enable Payment Methods

Select payment methods for your target countries:

Colombia:

• Bre-B (instant bank transfers, 24/7)
• PSE (bank transfers)
• Nequi, Daviplata (wallets)
• Credit/debit cards

Mexico:

• SPEI transfers
• OXXO cash
• Cards

Brazil:

• Pix
• Boleto
• Cards

4. Enable WhatsApp Checkout (Optional)

Turn on WhatsApp integration:

• Enable “WhatsApp Checkout Links”
• Connect WhatsApp Business number
• Customers get payment links via WhatsApp

5. Test in Sandbox

Use test mode to verify:

# Test API key (safe, no real money)
sk_test_abcd1234...

# Simulate Bre-B payment
Test Bank: Any bank
Status: Success

6. Configure Retries & Fallbacks

Enable smart routing:

• Primary: Bre-B
• Fallback: PSE
• Final: Cards

Orangepill automatically retries failed payments with alternative methods.

7. Go Live

Switch to production:

• Replace sk_test_ with sk_live_ key
• Disable test mode
• Monitor payments in dashboard

Code Sample

No code required! But if you want custom checkout behavior:

// Add custom payment metadata
add_filter('orangepill_payment_metadata', function($metadata, $order) {
    $metadata['customer_segment'] = get_user_meta(
        $order->get_customer_id(),
        'segment',
        true
    );
    return $metadata;
}, 10, 2);

Outcome

Customers pay with their preferred method. Failed payments automatically retry. WhatsApp orders convert without manual work.

Typical results:

• 15-25% higher approval rates
• 40% reduction in payment support tickets
• 3x faster WhatsApp order processing
