Transferime

Description

This plugin adds “Transferime” as a payment method in the WooCommerce checkout.

How it works for the buyer:

1. They choose “Bank transfer” (or whatever title you set) and confirm the order.
2. They’re redirected to a Transferime screen showing the alias/CVU/QR code to transfer to.
3. As soon as Mercado Pago detects the transfer, Transferime confirms the payment automatically and sends the buyer back to your store’s “order received” page.

You never handle bank details by hand, and you never have to manually check your account statement to confirm a transfer — Transferime takes care of that.

Requirements

• An active account at https://transferime.net, with your Mercado Pago account connected and fully set up (Alias, CVU, CUIT).
• A Transferime plan with integrations enabled (“API / webhooks”).
• An API key generated from Transferime → Settings → Integrations.
• Your store must invoice in ARS — the gateway automatically hides itself from checkout if the store currency is anything else.

External service used by this plugin

This plugin is an integration with Transferime, a paid service that runs outside your site. For it to work, your store needs to communicate with Transferime’s servers — this is not a plugin that processes payments locally.

What data is sent to Transferime, and when:

• When an order is placed with this payment method, the following is sent: the order concept (order number and your store name), the amount and currency, the buyer’s billing name and email (or phone), the order number, and the order’s edit URL in your wp-admin.
• When the transfer is confirmed, Transferime calls back to your store (to a dedicated WooCommerce URL, signed with HMAC-SHA256) to report that the order was paid, expired, or cancelled. Nothing else is sent beyond that.
• Communication always happens server-to-server, using the WordPress HTTP API (wp_remote_post/wp_remote_get) — never via third-party scripts loaded at checkout, nor iframes.
• No data is sent while the gateway is disabled or has no API key configured — the plugin makes no calls to Transferime until you activate it and set it up with your own key.

You can read Transferime’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy before activating it.
