Blueforce Manual Payments for TWINT
This plugin adds a TWINT payment method to WooCommerce. The plugin itself needs no TWINT API, no acquiring contract and no payment service provider – it uses the manual TWINT process (send or request money by mobile number) and is therefore suited to small shops, clubs and sole traders. You remain responsible for complying with your own TWINT, bank and business terms for commercial use.
TWINT does not offer its payment API publicly. An automated integration is only possible through a TWINT acquiring contract or a payment service provider. This plugin deliberately takes the manual route, so you can start without a TWINT integration contract while still meeting your own TWINT and bank conditions.
Two workflows
- Customer sends: The customer is shown your TWINT mobile number and, optionally, your QR code. They send the amount using the order number as the message.
- I request: The customer enters their TWINT mobile number; you request the amount in the TWINT app.
In both cases the order is set to « On hold » and the incoming payment is confirmed by hand.
Features
- Classic and block checkout
- Optional TWINT QR code on the thank-you page and in the email
- HPOS compatible
- Translation-ready; German, English, French (CH) and Italian (CH) translations included
- No external dependencies, no tracking, no phone-home calls
Privacy
In the « I request » workflow the plugin stores the TWINT mobile number provided by the customer as order metadata (_bf_twint_customer_phone) in order to request the payment via the TWINT app. This number is included in the WooCommerce/WordPress data export and erasure tools. No data is sent to third parties and no external services are contacted; payment reconciliation is done manually in the TWINT app.
