This plugin connects your WooCommerce instance with the 3rd‑party service Confirmo. More information about the Confirmo crypto payment gateway can be found at https://confirmo.com. An integral part of the plugin is the API requests to Confirmo, which are described in more detail in the Confirmo API documentation.
Why accept crypto?
By accepting crypto payments you open your business to a new revenue stream. Despite being commonly viewed as an investment tool, cryptocurrencies were created as an alternative to centralized, inflationary financial systems, and crypto holders are now looking for businesses which accept their funds. Using Confirmo's WooCommerce plugin is a simple way to do so. Installing it is quick and easy — choose your preferred method below.
Download
Download the latest confirmo-for-woocommerce.zip (or the source .zip) from the Releases page. Always use the newest release to receive the latest features and security fixes.
Installation
Method 1 — Upload via the WordPress dashboard (recommended)
- Download the plugin
.zip from the Releases page.
- In your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the
.zip file, and click Install Now.
- Click Activate Plugin.
- Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Payments, click Confirmo, and configure the plugin (see Configuration below).
Method 2 — FTP or File Manager
- Download and extract the plugin
.zip.
- Upload the extracted folder into your WordPress installation under
wp-content/plugins/.
- In your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins → Installed Plugins, find Confirmo Cryptocurrency Payment Gateway, and click Activate.
- Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Payments, click Confirmo, and configure the plugin (see Configuration below).
Updating
Because the plugin is not in the WordPress.org directory, updates are not delivered automatically. To update:
- Download the newer release
.zip from the Releases page.
- In Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, upload the new
.zip. WordPress will detect the existing installation and offer to Replace current with uploaded. Confirm to overwrite.
- Alternatively, deactivate and delete the old version first, then install the new one. Your settings are stored in the database and are preserved across updates.
Tip: Test updates on a staging site before applying them to production.
Configuration
Create an account at https://confirmo.com, then sign in to your Confirmo dashboard:
- Generate an API key — in the Confirmo dashboard, go to Settings → API Keys → Create API key. You will be asked to complete an e‑mail verification, after which you receive the API key.
- Enable Confirmo in WooCommerce — go to WooCommerce → Settings → Payments, enable Confirmo as a payment method, and paste the API key into the corresponding field.
- Generate a callback password — back in the Confirmo dashboard, go to Settings → Callback password. Complete a second e‑mail verification to receive the callback password, then paste it into the corresponding field in WooCommerce → Settings → Payments. Callback passwords increase the security of the API integration.
- Choose your settlement currency, then click Save changes.
Once activated, Confirmo appears as a payment option at your WooCommerce checkout. Congratulations — you can now start receiving cryptocurrency payments!
Security: Never share your API key or callback password with anyone.

Confirmo Subscribe (Alpha)
Alpha: Confirmo Subscribe is still in development and its behaviour may be adjusted in future releases.
Confirmo Subscribe bills your customers on a recurring schedule. It is a separate payment method from the Confirmo Checkout gateway described above; both can run on the same store, and the module is off by default, so nothing changes for a Checkout‑only store until you turn it on.
Before you start
Three things have to be in place, and none of them is optional:
- Plugin version 2.10.0-alpha or newer. Confirmo Subscribe does not exist in earlier releases. Install or update from the Releases page as described under Installation and Updating.
- Confirmo has to switch subscriptions on for your account. You cannot enable this yourself — a Confirmo administrator enables it for your merchant account in the Confirmo portal. Write to [email protected] to have it done, and wait for confirmation before configuring anything below.
- WooCommerce Subscriptions must be installed and active. It is a paid extension you buy and install yourself from woocommerce.com — Confirmo cannot supply it. This plugin builds on its subscription products and billing schedules, so without it the Subscribe module stays inert and says so in your dashboard.
1. Create a plan in the Confirmo subscriptions portal
Subscription plans live in the Confirmo subscriptions portal at dashboard.confirmo.com/v2 — a separate section from the dashboard where you generated your API key. Create a plan there with:
- a billing currency and no fixed price — a variable‑price plan, where each WooCommerce product supplies its own amount;
- the billing interval you want to charge on, for example monthly;
- a grace period — how long a failed payment keeps being retried before the subscription stops.
The plan's currency must match your WooCommerce store currency, or order totals would be recorded in one currency for charges made in another. Fixed‑price plans are not sold by this plugin: a product mapped to one is refused at checkout.
Settlement currency for Subscribe is configured in the Confirmo subscriptions portal, not in WooCommerce. The Settlement Currency field in the plugin's settings applies to Confirmo Checkout only.
2. Enable the module in WordPress
Two switches, both off by default. You need both:
- Go to Confirmo Payment → Settings, tick Enable the Subscribe module, and save. This loads the subscription gateway.
- Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Payments and enable Confirmo Subscribe to offer it to subscribers.
Switching the module off later does not cancel anything. Confirmo carries on billing existing subscriptions, and while the module is off your store will neither record those payments nor pass on a cancellation — cancel them in Confirmo first.
3. Create the product and link the plan
- Add a product and set its product type to Simple subscription (a type provided by WooCommerce Subscriptions).
- Set the product's price. This is the amount Confirmo charges every cycle.
- On the General tab, choose your plan from the Confirmo Subscribe plan dropdown, then publish.
The billing interval comes from the Confirmo plan, so WooCommerce's own interval fields are locked to match it — the product owns the price, and the order total at checkout is what Confirmo bills each cycle. If the dropdown reports that no plans were found, check that step 1 produced a variable‑price plan and that your API key is correct.
Your store must show prices to no more than 2 decimal places (WooCommerce → Settings → General). Confirmo cannot represent more, and checkout is refused for a total it cannot express.
Customers now see Confirmo Subscribe at checkout for that product. Cancelling in Confirmo cancels the subscription in WooCommerce, and cancelling in WooCommerce is passed on to Confirmo.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started with Confirmo?
Simply register with your email and you're good to go! The setup will guide you through activating your account. To comply with applicable law, we require certain personal identification documents for verification purposes, as well as certain information about your business.
How does the verification process work?
We require an iDenfy personal identity verification, along with certain company documents.

Verification is usually completed within one business day. An account is typically ready for use the day after all the required documents have been provided.

Would you like to see another cryptocurrency here? Contact us at [email protected].
How does Confirmo guarantee the exchange rate when I accept crypto but receive fiat?
We guarantee the exchange rate at the time of your transaction, ensuring you receive the exact amount requested. Even with crypto volatility, if you request $100, you receive $100, minus our 0.8% fee.
How can I withdraw my funds?
You can withdraw your funds through Settlements and Payouts:
- Settlements are daily, weekly, or monthly outgoing transactions to your linked bank account or crypto wallet. They can send fiat as well as crypto and stablecoins, and work on a set‑and‑forget basis like traditional standing orders.
- Payouts are one‑time, on‑demand transactions to a crypto wallet. They can send cryptocurrencies only, on an on‑demand basis like traditional payment orders.
What are the fees for withdrawals?
Payouts (one‑time crypto withdrawals) cost 0.5%, and a standard network fee applies per payment method. For example, if you send $100 worth of BTC to your contractor, they receive $100 worth of BTC, and the transaction fee is deducted from your USD or EUR balance.
Settlements (recurrent withdrawals) are free, but bank fees apply.
Where can I find the Terms & Conditions?
The most up‑to‑date Terms & Conditions are available on the Confirmo website in the Terms & Conditions section.
Development
The test suite runs against a real WordPress that it builds itself, so Docker is
the only prerequisite:
tests/run.sh
The Confirmo Subscribe tests additionally need WooCommerce Subscriptions, a paid
extension this repository does not carry; without it they skip and the Checkout
tests still run. See tests/README.md for supplying a copy and
for the rest of the options.
