What is PayID?

PayID is an Australian payment system that lets you receive instant bank transfers using an easy-to-remember identifier (like your email or phone number) instead of BSB and account numbers.

How do I get a PayID?

Contact your bank to register a PayID linked to your business bank account. Most Australian banks support PayID through their mobile banking apps.

Is this plugin free?

The plugin is free. Scan & Pay charges a small transaction fee per payment – see pricing for details.

Does this work with WooCommerce Blocks checkout?

Yes! The plugin fully supports both classic checkout and the new WooCommerce Blocks-based checkout.

What happens if the webhook fails?

The plugin includes automatic fallback polling that checks payment status every 5 minutes for pending orders.

Is my data secure?

Yes. All API communication uses HTTPS encryption. Webhooks are verified using HMAC signatures. No sensitive customer data is stored or transmitted.
