Draft Account Verification for eDebit Direct

Description

eDebit Direct Draft adds a payment gateway to WooCommerce that allows merchants to accept Draft payments through the eDebit Direct payment service.

When a customer selects eDebit Direct Draft during WooCommerce checkout, the plugin creates a payment session with the eDebit Direct service. The customer is then redirected to the eDebit Direct hosted payment application to complete the payment process.

The plugin provides the WooCommerce integration and communicates with the eDebit Direct service. Payment processing, bank-account connectivity, account verification, and related downstream functionality are handled by eDebit Direct’s services.

The plugin does not directly integrate with DataX. Any DataX or other third-party bank-connectivity functionality used by eDebit Direct is managed by eDebit Direct and its service providers.
