Product Description
Ever tried to set up a niche payment gateway like Ogone (now Worldline/Ingenico, just so you know) on a client’s WooCommerce store? You probably found out pretty quickly that these specific gateway plugins can cost a small fortune if you buy them directly from the original developer. We’re talking yearly licenses, per-site costs, and sometimes a bunch of unnecessary hoops to jump through. Honestly, it’s a pain.
That’s where GPL Guru steps in. We offer you the exact same premium WooCommerce Ogone Gateway plugin, but under the GNU General Public License (GPL). What does that actually mean for you? Well, it means you get the full, original code. You own it. You can install it on as many sites as you want, whether they’re your personal projects, client sites, or your agency’s entire portfolio. No license keys to manage, no annual fees, just pure, unadulterated plugin power.
Now, let’s be straight with each other, because transparency is key. While you get unlimited usage and a massive discount, there are a couple of trade-offs. You won’t get official support directly from the original plugin developer – that’s tied to their premium license. Also, you won’t get automatic updates pushed straight to your WordPress dashboard. But don’t sweat it! We regularly update our repository with the latest versions as soon as they’re released by the original developers, so you can always grab the newest one from your GPL Guru account. For most developers and agencies who are comfortable managing their own sites and can debug an issue, this is a total non-issue and a massive win.
Key Features & Benefits
- Seamless Ogone Integration: Connects your WooCommerce store directly to the Ogone (now Worldline/Ingenico ePayments) payment gateway. It just works, you know?
- Supports Core Payment Methods: Handles major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, etc.) securely via Ogone’s robust infrastructure.
- Direct Payment Flow: Customers stay on your site during checkout, providing a smoother, less jarring experience than some off-site redirects. I’ve found that this really helps with conversion rates.
- Secure Transactions: Leverages Ogone’s security protocols, so you don’t have to worry about PCI compliance headaches on your end for card data storage.
- Multi-Currency Support: If your Ogone account supports it, this plugin should allow for payments in various currencies, which is huge for international e-commerce.
- Admin Flexibility: Easy configuration within your WooCommerce settings. You can enable/disable, set titles, and manage order statuses directly from the WordPress backend.
- Unlimited Site Usage: This is the big one! Install it on as many client sites or personal projects as your heart desires without buying multiple licenses. Agencies, this is your golden ticket.
Use Cases
So, who needs this bad boy?
- E-commerce Stores Needing Ogone: Obviously, if your business or your client’s business already uses Ogone/Worldline as their primary payment processor, this plugin is essential.
- Agencies Building Client Sites: If you’re an agency and regularly build e-commerce sites for clients, having this plugin on hand, licensed under GPL, means you can deploy it quickly and cost-effectively without eating into your project budget for licensing fees.
- Startups & Small Businesses: When every penny counts, getting a premium payment gateway without the premium price tag can free up funds for marketing or product development.
- Developers with Multiple Projects: For those of us juggling several WooCommerce sites, whether for personal projects or side gigs, the unlimited usage is a lifesaver.
Technical Requirements
Nothing too crazy here, just the standard stuff:
- WordPress 4.0 or higher (though honestly, always run the latest stable version!)
- WooCommerce 3.0 or higher (again, latest is best)
- PHP 7.0 or higher (PHP 8.x is highly recommended for performance and security)
- An active Ogone/Worldline merchant account. The plugin connects to this, it doesn’t create one for you.
Installation is super straightforward, too. Just upload the plugin ZIP file via your WordPress admin, activate it, and then head over to WooCommerce -> Settings -> Payments to configure your Ogone gateway credentials. You’ll need your PSPID, API keys, etc., from your Ogone account.
Discount/Pricing: Your Ultimate Savings Strategy
Forget scouring the web for coupon codes that expire or don’t work. The price you see for the WooCommerce Ogone Gateway here at GPL Guru *is* the discount. It’s not a temporary promo; it’s the fundamental benefit of GPL licensing. You get a premium, fully functional plugin for a fraction of what you’d pay to the original developer. Think of it as a permanent Black Friday deal, but without the stress.

If you’re just dipping your toes into the GPL world, buying this single plugin is a fantastic start.

Frequently Asked Questions About GPL Plugins
Q: Is it legal to use this plugin from GPL Guru?
A: Absolutely, 100% legal! The GNU General Public License (GPL) is a free software license that explicitly grants you the freedom to run, study, share, and modify the software. When a developer releases their code under GPL, they’re giving you these rights. We simply provide these GPL-licensed files to you for a small fee to cover our operational costs.
Q: Will this plugin receive updates?
A: Yes, but not automatically through your WordPress dashboard from the original developer. We monitor the original developers for new releases. As soon as a new version of the WooCommerce Ogone Gateway is available, we download it, ensure it’s clean, and upload it to our repository. You can then download the updated version from your GPL Guru account and manually update your plugin. It’s a quick process, and we notify members when new versions are available.
Q: Is this plugin safe and free from malicious code?
A: We take security very seriously. All plugins and themes in our library are sourced directly from the original developers. We never alter the code in any way. Before making anything available, we scan every file for malware and viruses to ensure you’re getting clean, untouched software. We don’t mess with the code; you get exactly what the developer intended.
Q: What if I need support for the plugin?
A: As mentioned, official support from the original developer isn’t included with GPL-licensed downloads from stores like ours. However, the plugin itself is fully functional, and for most common issues, the developer’s public documentation is often available online. Plus, the WordPress and WooCommerce communities are huge, and you can often find solutions or assistance through forums and Facebook groups. For critical needs, remember you always have the option to purchase direct from the developer if dedicated support becomes essential, but for most dev tasks, you’ll be fine.
