Payment Settings and Gateways

Connect payment gateways, configure tax, and manage checkout options in WP Travel Engine so travelers can pay for trips securely with their preferred method.

How payments work in WP Travel Engine

WP Travel Engine includes payment settings that let you accept trip bookings and collect payments through multiple gateways. Choose the methods that fit your business and the travelers you serve.

Enable gateways from WP Travel Engine > Settings > Payments, then enter the credentials required by each payment provider. Travelers see the enabled payment options at checkout.

You can enable more than one gateway at the same time. Travelers can then choose their preferred payment method when they book a trip.

Benefits of configuring payment settings

Accept payments from travelers worldwide with global gateways such as Stripe and PayPal.
Offer region-specific options such as Razorpay in India, PayFast in South Africa, Midtrans in Indonesia, and Himalayan Bank in Nepal.
Add tax automatically to every booking and control how prices appear to travelers.
Provide offline payment methods such as Check Payments for travelers who prefer not to pay online.

Why payment configuration matters

Payment settings turn your trip catalog into a booking engine. Without a configured gateway, travelers can browse trips but cannot complete a purchase.

Each gateway has its own setup requirements, currency support, and regional availability. Choose the gateways that match where your travelers are and how they prefer to pay, then test the checkout flow before going live.
