HitPay Payment Gateway for WooCommerce

61 Quality Score

Active Installs

16/30

Around 4,000 active installs suggests a niche but established user base, well above what a brand new or abandoned plugin would show.

Update Freshness

20/25

Updated within the past month and tested against WordPress 6.9.4, which signals an actively maintained codebase that tracks current core releases.

User Rating

3/15

A single 5-star rating gives it a perfect score, but one data point is statistically meaningless and should not be treated as proof of quality.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads and zero resolutions means there is no public track record to judge responsiveness, which is a concern given the small install base.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Compatibility scores full marks, supported by the recent update against WordPress 6.9.4 and a PHP 5.5 minimum that works on virtually any host.

What It Does

HitPay Payment Gateway for WooCommerce connects your WooCommerce store to the HitPay payment processor, letting customers pay via PayNow QR, credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, WeChatPay, AliPay, and GrabPay at checkout. It handles order creation, payment processing, and callback notifications between your site and HitPay's API. In practice, you install it, enter your HitPay API and salt keys, and the gateway appears alongside other WooCommerce payment options.

Who It's For

This plugin is built for Singapore-based merchants and Singapore-facing businesses that already use or plan to use HitPay as their payment processor. It is a fit for SMEs selling to customers who prefer regional mobile and QR-based payment methods like PayNow, GrabPay, WeChatPay, or AliPay. Restaurants, food delivery operators, and digital goods sellers targeting Asian consumers will find the supported methods directly relevant.

Who Should Skip It

If you are outside Singapore and Southeast Asia, or if your customers primarily pay with mainstream methods like credit cards and PayPal, you will get broader reach from Stripe, PayPal, or Mercado Pago. Stores not already onboarded with HitPay should not adopt this plugin just for the method list, since you must have a HitPay merchant account to use it.

The Bottom Line

HitPay Payment Gateway for WooCommerce is a focused, actively maintained tool that does one job well for merchants already in the HitPay ecosystem. The 4,000 installs and recent updates are positive signals, but the absence of any public support threads makes it hard to verify how the developer handles real issues. With a quality score of 64.45 out of 100, it is a solid choice for Singapore SMEs on HitPay and a non-starter for everyone else.

Pick Stripe instead if your customers are global and pay primarily by card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay, since it has 700,000 installs and stronger support.

Mercado Pago payments for WooCommerce 88/100

Choose Mercado Pago over HitPay if you sell across Latin America and need a gateway with 100,000 installs and deeper regional coverage there.

Germanized for WooCommerce 91/100

Pick Germanized if you are selling in Germany or the EU and need invoicing, VAT, and legal compliance features, not just payments.

PDF Invoices & Packing Slips for WooCommerce 90/100

Choose this if your actual problem is generating invoices and packing slips rather than accepting regional payment methods.

Customer Reviews for WooCommerce 89/100

Pick Customer Reviews for WooCommerce when you need to build social proof on product pages, not a payment gateway at all.
