Ukrainian businesses lose 15–30% of potential revenue when payment checkout is slow, unreliable, or missing local payment options. Integrating LiqPay into your WordPress or OpenCart store resolves all three problems in a single deployment.
What LiqPay delivers for your business
LiqPay is Ukraine's most widely adopted payment gateway, operated by PrivatBank. It supports card payments, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and instalments — covering the full spectrum of how Ukrainian customers pay online. For e-commerce operators, this means fewer abandoned carts and no need to redirect buyers to third-party checkout pages.
Integration on WordPress
On WordPress with WooCommerce, we deploy LiqPay via a dedicated PHP module that hooks into the WooCommerce payment gateway API. The integration handles:
- Secure payment form rendering via LiqPay's hosted JS widget
- Server-side signature verification using SHA-1 HMAC
- Automatic order status updates on callback (
woocommerce_order_status_changed) - Webhook validation so no fraudulent callbacks reach your database
Configuration takes one to two business days for a production-ready build, including test environment validation and SSL certificate verification.
Integration on OpenCart
OpenCart's extension architecture lets us ship LiqPay as a self-contained payment module. The module interfaces with catalog/model/extension/payment/ and handles the full payment lifecycle: redirect to LiqPay, return URL processing, order status mapping, and admin-side reporting.
We configure separate public and private keys for sandbox and production environments — a step that most off-the-shelf plugins skip, resulting in keys mixed across environments.
Security and compliance
Every LiqPay integration we deliver includes:
- Signature validation on every incoming callback
- HTTPS enforcement at the nginx level
- IP whitelisting for LiqPay's callback servers
- PCI-DSS compliant card data handling — no card data stored server-side
Business outcome
Our clients report a 12–18% improvement in checkout conversion after switching from a generic payment processor to LiqPay, primarily driven by Apple Pay and Google Pay availability on mobile.
