About [GATEWAY V10] - Yoco
When the customer pays by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay
A business in South Africa selling from its PremiumPress website wants the customer to pay on the spot with a card or phone, and the charge has to be in rand. This plugin connects that moment of the purchase with Yoco, a South African provider widely used by small businesses that take payments both online and in store.
Here is how each payment works. The available payment methods are card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Yoco processes the transaction in rand (ZAR). The payment is verified through the Yoco API and confirmed with a signed webhook, which is what makes the confirmation reliable.
One limit to know from the start: Yoco handles one-off payments. If your business needs to charge recurring fees, you will have to choose another gateway from those shown under the subscriptions filter on the plugins page.
The secret key and webhook that link your store to Yoco
To make charges work you need a Yoco account and two values, which you enter in the payment settings of your PremiumPress theme. The first is the API secret key. The key starting with sk_test_ lets you run the flow with a test charge, with no real charge made, and the one starting with sk_live_ is the one to use once you are charging for real.
The second value is the webhook signing secret. It is optional but recommended, because the signed webhook is what allows each payment to be confirmed reliably.
Frequently asked questions about taking payments with Yoco on PremiumPress
What do I need to start taking payments?
A Yoco account and its API secret key. The webhook signing secret is optional. Both are entered in the payment settings of your PremiumPress theme.
Does this plugin work outside South Africa?
It is designed for South African businesses and for payments in rand (ZAR).
Which payment methods can the customer use?
Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
What is the webhook for if I already have the key?
The key lets the store process the charge, and the signed webhook reports the result reliably. That is why it is recommended to have it, even though it is optional.
When Yoco fits a PremiumPress store
It fits best if your business is South African, takes one-off payments and wants customers to pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay in rand. As a payment plugin for PremiumPress, it needs that system installed and active to work.
If your business model depends on recurring fees, this plugin does not cover that part of billing, so it is worth considering another gateway from the start.
