If you sell to customers in Poland, adding Przelewy24 (P24) can boost trust and cut cart abandonment. P24 is a popular Polish instant bank-transfer payment method available through Stripe. You can add it to WordPress two simple ways: a standalone payment form (no store) or a full WooCommerce checkout integration.
Quick answer
– Use WP Simple Pay (Pro) for single payment pages and subscriptions outside WooCommerce.
– Use FunnelKit Payment Gateway for Stripe to expose P24 at your WooCommerce checkout.
Both options process through Stripe, so you’ll need a Stripe account with a connected bank account.
Why add Przelewy24?
– Local familiarity: Polish shoppers often prefer P24 over cards.
– Faster payments: instant bank transfers reduce abandoned carts.
– Secure and reconciled: transactions go through Stripe for easier reporting.
– Currency support: works with PLN and EUR — set your site/store currency accordingly.
What you need before starting
– WordPress site with SSL (HTTPS).
– A verified Stripe account and bank details.
– WP Simple Pay Pro for standalone forms, or WooCommerce + FunnelKit Gateway for store checkout.
Method 1 — WP Simple Pay Pro (standalone payment forms)
Best for services, donations, events, or single-product sales where you don’t need a full store.
Overview
WP Simple Pay Pro includes a Przelewy24 template so you can publish a checkout form quickly. The free version handles basic Stripe cards but Pro is required for the P24 template and to avoid the free-plugin surcharge.
Steps
1. Install WP Simple Pay Pro
– Purchase, install, activate, and enter your license to unlock Pro features.
2. Connect to Stripe
– Run the setup wizard, connect your Stripe account, and complete Stripe verification prompts.
3. Create a Przelewy24 payment form
– WP Simple Pay » Payment Forms » Create New. Pick the Przelewy24 template, name the form, and decide between on-site or Stripe Checkout flow.
– Set price, currency (PLN or EUR), and whether the payment is one-time or recurring.
– Enable P24 under Payment Methods, customize form fields (name, email, address), and turn on anti-spam/fraud measures like CAPTCHA.
4. Publish and test
– Publish as a page or embed with the WP Simple Pay block. Test in Stripe test mode, then switch to live mode when ready.
Why choose WP Simple Pay
– Fast and simple to set up.
– Built-in support for P24 and subscriptions.
– Pro avoids the free-plugin 3% surcharge (Stripe fees still apply).
Method 2 — FunnelKit Payment Gateway for Stripe (WooCommerce)
Best for stores already using WooCommerce that want P24 available at checkout.
Overview
FunnelKit Gateway connects WooCommerce to Stripe and exposes payment methods such as Przelewy24.
Steps
1. Prepare WooCommerce
– Install WooCommerce and set the store currency to PLN or EUR (WooCommerce » Settings » General » Currency options).
2. Install FunnelKit Payment Gateway for Stripe
– Plugins » Add New » search “FunnelKit Stripe Gateway,” install, activate, and run the onboarding wizard.
3. Connect to Stripe
– Use the wizard to connect your Stripe account, verify identity, and allow required access. Enable Przelewy24 (P24) and set up webhooks when prompted.
4. Enable P24 in WooCommerce
– WooCommerce » Settings » Payments » Manage Stripe Przelewy24. Check “Enable Stripe Przelewy24 (P24) Gateway,” set title/description, set selling locations, and save.
5. Test checkout
– Test purchases in Stripe test mode. Confirm P24 appears at checkout and completes via Stripe. Test on mobile since many Polish users use mobile banking apps.
Bonus tips to improve conversion
– Offer multiple payment methods (cards, P24, SEPA, BLIK) to serve all customers.
– Test thoroughly in Stripe test mode, then switch to live.
– Monitor transactions, refunds, and disputes in the Stripe dashboard.
– Verify emails, currency settings, and mobile rendering after setup.
– Consider enabling express checkout (Apple Pay/Google Pay) for other customer segments.
