GateFuz
About GateFuz
Most WordPress payment solutions lock you into heavy, bloated eCommerce frameworks just to accept a single charge or recurring subscription. GateFuz redefines payments on WordPress with a developer-first, decoupled architecture.
Whether you run a digital SaaS, membership portal, custom theme, or a bespoke headless app, GateFuz provides:
- 7 Global Payment Gateways in one unified hub: Stripe, PayPal Smart Buttons, Razorpay, Mollie, Paystack, Braintree, and Direct Bank Transfer.
- Dual Live & Test Credentials: Store both Sandbox and Production API keys simultaneously. Switch environments with a single click.
- Native Subscriptions & Free Trials: Automated recurring cycles, trial period tracking, and webhook sync without requiring third-party subscription add-ons.
- Centralized Transaction Ledger: Full administrative CRUD controls (Add, Edit, Delete, Link to Subscriptions) with real-time customer and order logs.
- Developer-First API: Embed checkouts anywhere using a single shortcode ([gatefuz_checkout]) or PHP action (do_action('gatefuz_render_checkout')).
Key Features & Architecture
Discover what makes GateFuz unique, reliable, and developer-friendly.
In-App Step-by-Step Documentation & Sandbox Credentials
Never leave your WordPress admin dashboard to look up API documentation. GateFuz features an interactive, tabbed setup guide with exact step-by-step instructions for every supported gateway.
- Side-by-Side Gateway Guides: Instant tabbed switching between Stripe, PayPal Complete, Razorpay, Mollie, Paystack, Braintree, and Bank Wire documentation.
