Extends WooCommerce, allowing you to take payments via Paymentsense. Provides integration with Paymentsense Hosted and Direct.

== Description ==

Paymentsense is a plugin that extends WooCommerce, allowing you to take payments via Paymentsense. The plugin provides integration with the Paymentsense Hosted and Paymentsense Direct payment methods.

In regards to taking payments online through your website, you have two options Hosted and Direct. 

Hosted means that during the checkout process the user is redirected to a page hosted by Paymentsense in order to enter their card details and finalise the payment and then is redirected back to your site for the order confirmation. This also has a lower PCI compliance level and has less technical requirements from the web server.

Direct on the other hand means that during the checkout process the customer enters their card details directly onto your website. This has a higher level of PCI compliance and also requires an active SSL certificate.
