Architectural Overview

Monetizing your WordPress forms requires flexible, rock-solid payment processing. From global credit card transactions and localized Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) options like Klarna and Affirm, to cryptocurrency payments, GravityHive payment add-ons maximize checkout conversions.

Default checkout plugins often charge 1% to 2% additional platform transaction fees on top of processor rates, lack support for localized regional payment rails, or fail to gracefully handle asynchronous webhooks like 3D Secure verification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expert Insights & Implementation FAQ

Are there any transaction fees taken by GravityHive?

None. You only pay your payment processor's standard merchant processing rate. GravityHive charges zero per-transaction cuts.

Does the integration support Strong Customer Authentication (SCA)?

Yes. All our payment add-ons support SCA and 3D Secure 2.0 verification requirements in compliance with European banking directives.

Can I sell both one-time products and recurring subscriptions?

Yes. You can configure individual feeds for one-time payments, setup fees, custom trial durations, and recurring billing cycles (weekly, monthly, annually).

What happens when a customer's recurring payment fails?

The gateway triggers a webhook notification to Gravity Forms, updating the entry status to 'Failed' or 'Past Due' and firing automated email alerts to prompt the customer to update their card.
