About Scotia ECom+
Scotiabank’s ECom+ service allows merchants in the English-speaking Caribbean to accept online payments.
This plugin allows you to accept VISA and Mastercard credit and debit card payments by connecting with ScotiaBank’s Ecom+ service and seamlessly integrating their Hosted Payment Pages into your WooCommerce-enabled website.
ScotiaBank Ecom+ is available for Store Owners and Merchants in:
- Barbados
- Guyana
- Jamaica
- Trinidad and Tobago
- The Cayman Islands
- Turks & Caicos
- The Bahamas
Important: Since this plugin relies on ScotiaBank’s Ecom+ service, it should be noted that it cannot work without first becoming a bank client and creating a merchant account.
We can put you in contact with the right people to get this process started here.
Lastly, as a merchant using this plugin, it should be noted that both you and your customer’s information is passed to Scotiabank’s payment platform during transactions (at test.ipg-online.com and/or www2.ipg-online.com) and as such is governed by the bank’s privacy policy – https://tt.scotiabank.com/about-scotiabank/connect-with-scotiabank/privacy.html

Changelog
2.3.0
- Fix Fiserv API client now correctly switches between sandbox (certification) and live (production) endpoints based on the gateway sandbox setting — previously all API calls (refunds, captures, voids) were routed to the certification environment regardless of mode
- Fix shipping country was incorrectly populated with the billing country value
- Fix captures and voids now use WooCommerce order meta API for full HPOS compatibility — previously used WordPress post meta functions which do not work on HPOS-enabled stores
- Fix payment form display in checkout now uses WooCommerce order API instead of get_post_type() for HPOS compatibility
- Fix unknown or unsupported store currency now logs a clear error instead of causing a fatal error on the payment page
