WorldPay Business for WooCommerce plugin documentation

The long-lost documentation has been found!

“WorldPay Business for WooCommerce” is an old plugin, last updated in 2016 but WorldPay seems to have not updated anything either and it still works perfectly, if configured correctly.

It’s still available from the WordPress plugin directory here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/business-worldpay-gateway-for-woocommerce/

The original documentation was published here: http://www.mdsdev.eu/mds-worldpay-woocommerce/ but the site has since disappeared and the original dev is not answering support queries on wordpress.org.

A couple of months back I had a WorldPay WooCommerce integration and rediscovered this plugin as I’d used it before. However, like you, I couldn’t find the documentation. With a shear stroke of luck I found an old note I’d saved on my Mac with all the documentation kept purely for safe keeping. It finally turned out to be useful!

Hopefully this helps you like it did me. And remember, the plugin has a donation button on the settings page so you can thank the dev if his plugin saved you purchasing an expensive annual plugin license.
