Setting up Openpay in PremiumPress

Activate the free plugin, then open your theme’s payment settings and add your Openpay credentials:

• Merchant ID — Openpay Dashboard → your Merchant ID.
• Private key — Openpay Dashboard → API Keys → Private key. Used for server-side Basic auth.
• Public key — Public key — needed only for the client-side Openpay.js card widget (see notes).
• Payment method — The offline charge type. The buyer gets a CLABE/reference (SPEI) or a barcode (store) to pay.

SPEI and cash charges work end to end (confirmed by the charge.succeeded webhook). Card payments are not yet wired: Openpay requires client-side Openpay.js tokenisation plus a device session id — see the TODO in the plugin. The plugin requires PremiumPress 12.

Openpay plugin FAQ

What do I need to set up Openpay in WordPress?

Does Openpay support recurring subscriptions?

Openpay handles one-off payments in PremiumPress. If you need recurring billing, choose a gateway shown under the Subscriptions filter on the plugins page.

How does the Openpay checkout work?

One-time payments for Mexico via SPEI bank transfer and cash (store) charges, with API verification and a webhook. Card payments require Openpay.js tokenisation (see the TODO in the code). No SDK — direct REST via wp_remote_request.
