What Is WooCommerce Paytrail Payment Gateway?
Paytrail for WooCommerce is developed by WooCommerce and is a payments plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the payments category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for processing online transactions.

Paytrail for WooCommerce Features
The plugin integrates a complete localized checkout experience directly into your store.
Consolidated Finnish Payment Methods
Paytrail for WooCommerce combines multiple banks and payment types into one checkout interface. Customers select their preferred local banking provider without leaving your site. This covers both consumer and corporate payment options. Browse more WordPress payments plugins.
Payment Page Bypass
Merchants can activate a payment page bypass in the settings. This directs buyers straight from your checkout to their chosen processor. Skipping the intermediate Paytrail screen reduces friction and improves conversion rates.
Test Mode Environment
Developers can verify checkout flows using built-in test credentials. Payments to the test merchant account are not forwarded, ensuring safe sandbox testing. You can confirm compatibility before taking the store live.
Pricing
The Paytrail for WooCommerce plugin is available as a free download, while payment processing requires a paid Paytrail merchant account. Transaction fees depend on your specific agreement with Paytrail.
