Windcave payment gateway

The Windcave payment gateway allows you to create a Windcave payment gateway, providing users to process credit card transactions to pay for their items. To use the Windcave payment gateway, you will need a Windcave account at the Windcave website.

The Windcave online payment gateway and ecommerce solutions cater to several banks worldwide; however, they may not be available in all regions. Please check the Windcave website for more information on the availability of this payment gateway.

The Windcave payment gateway accepts all major credit card types, including Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Diners, BankCard, and JCB. Some co-branded cards are also accepted, such as Farmers, AirNZcard, and Elders. For more information, visit the Windcave website.

Once you have added a Windcave payment gateway, you can configure its associated asset screens' settings.
