A published payment plugin

What is available

Blackstone Online Gateway has a public WordPress plugin listing. The listing showed version 4.8.0 when we reviewed it on November 4, 2026. Its listed capabilities include classic and block checkout, saved payment tokens, authorization and capture, full and partial refunds, and optional 3D Secure. See the official plugin listing.

An important limit

The listing describes payments for individual purchases and does not establish WooCommerce Subscriptions or Bookings support. A saved card option is not the same as automatic subscription billing. Confirm any required repeat payment workflow before switching.

What happens to an order?

Payment status and references

The provider’s setup guide describes a successful payment moving an order to Processing, or Completed for qualifying virtual orders, with a transaction reference retained on the order. Refunds can be started from the order screen.

Your fulfillment process

Payment approval and shipping are separate events. Decide who checks the order, who fulfills it, and how cancellations are handled. If a customer retries after an error, staff should check for an existing transaction before trying again.

Compatibility and setup

Check the actual release

Record your WordPress, WooCommerce, PHP, checkout type, and order storage configuration. The developer guide and directory show different minimum environment requirements, so have the proposed version confirmed for your store. Minimum compatibility is not a recommendation to run old software.

Use an approved test account

An approved merchant account and provider credentials are required. The guide includes a sandbox mode and account settings for 3D Secure and pricing programs. Keep credentials out of email, support screenshots, and customer facing pages.

A practical acceptance test

Follow a complete order

In an approved test environment, place an order, verify the charged amount, locate its reference, and check the resulting order status. Repeat with a declined payment and a full and partial refund. Include stock adjustments where your store uses them.

Check extensions separately

Test shipping, coupons, taxes, currencies, checkout customizations, and other payment extensions that change the amount. Ask specifically about Apple Pay, Google Pay, subscriptions, and booking plugins. Gateway wallet support elsewhere does not prove this plugin supports every wallet flow.
