Every Ukrainian e-commerce store running on WordPress faces the same friction point: international payment gateways add unnecessary overhead — fees, currency conversion, and delayed payouts. LiqPay solves this cleanly for the local market, and integrating it with WooCommerce takes less than a day of engineering work.
## What LiqPay brings to your WooCommerce store
LiqPay is a payment gateway operated by PrivatBank, Ukraine's largest retail bank. It supports Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and direct bank transfers — all settled in UAH, with same-day payouts to a PrivatBank account.
For Ukrainian store owners, the business case is clear:
- No currency conversion friction for domestic buyers
- Lower per-transaction fees than Stripe or PayPal for UAH payments
- Native support for instalments (Monobank Частинами, PrivatBank Pay Later)
- Full 3D Secure 2 compliance out of the box
## How the integration works
The WooCommerce LiqPay integration uses LiqPay REST API v3. The flow is straightforward:
1. Order is placed → WooCommerce generates an order ID and total
2. PHP constructs a signed payload: `data` (Base64 JSON) + `signature` (SHA-1 HMAC with your private key)
3. Buyer is redirected to the LiqPay hosted checkout page
4. After payment, LiqPay posts a signed callback to your `server_url`
5. WooCommerce verifies the signature and updates the order status to "Processing"
The signature verification step is critical. A common mistake is skipping server-side callback validation and relying only on the redirect URL — this opens the store to fake payment confirmations.
