WooCommerce needs plugins to work with Indian payment gateways and couriers. The right setup makes checkout smooth and delivery reliable.
Payments
- Major Indian payment gateways provide official WooCommerce plugins supporting UPI, cards, net banking and wallets.
- Enable “Cash on delivery” in WooCommerce’s payment settings if you offer it.
- Test each payment method with a real low-value transaction.
Read payment gateways compared.
Offline payments
For B2B or small stores, you can accept bank transfer or UPI manually. Share a UPI QR made with our UPI QR code generator, and mark orders paid once confirmed.
Shipping
- Set shipping zones (India, specific states, PIN codes).
- Choose flat rate, free shipping thresholds or weight-based rates; estimate costs with our shipping cost calculator.
- Connect a courier aggregator plugin for label printing, pickups and tracking.
COD controls
Use plugins to add COD fees, restrict COD by PIN code or order value, and verify orders before dispatch.
Order notifications
Send tracking updates by email and WhatsApp to reduce “where is my order?” calls.
