Online payment processing is one of the key elements of every online store. In Poland, one of the most popular payment methods is the Przelewy24 system – fast, secure and supported by almost all banks as well as popular payment methods (BLIK, credit cards, Google Pay, Apple Pay, etc.). If your store operates on the WooCommerce (WordPress) platform, integration with Przelewy24 is relatively easy. Below we show you step-by-step how to do it.

5: Configure the Return URL and Status URL (optional)

Additional tips:
* SSL (https) – Przelewy24 requires a secure connection via HTTPS. Make sure your site runs through HTTPS.
* Currency – The default currency supported by Przelewy24 is PLN. Other currencies may require additional configuration or an international account.
* BLIK and credit cards – If you want to offer additional payment methods (e.g., BLIK), make sure they are enabled in your Przelewy24 account.
* GDPR compliance – Remember to add relevant information about data processing in your privacy policy.
