AltPay Rails – Alt Payment Gateways
AvailableAlternate WooCommerce payment gateways for Zelle, Chime, Bitcoin, and BTC via Cash App, with per-rail settings in WooCommerce Payments. Orders typically go on hold until the merchant confirms the transfer.
A Woo merchant or agency can turn on alternate rails inside Woo settings instead of a custom checkout page per method.

Why it matters
Restricted categories still sell. They just cannot pretend a single card API is a strategy. These gateways make P2P and BTC first-class Woo methods.
What it does
Customer picks a rail at checkout, receives instructions or deeplinks, marks payment sent; merchant verifies and completes the order. No automatic settlement is claimed.
Operational advantage
Processor fees and category bans are the expensive problems. Manual confirmation is the tradeoff the plugin is honest about.
Build vs buy
Skip writing four Woo gateway classes, settings screens, and on-hold order flow.
Interface advantage
Native Woo Payments settings with per-rail manage screens — merchants configure this the way they already configure Stripe.
What makes this different
True WC payment gateways (not an overlay), with a four-rail settings story evidenced in admin screenshots.
Where this gets used
- High-scrutiny Woo stores that already take P2P in DMs
- A backup rail sitting next to a card gateway
- Agency standard kit for alternative-rail merchants
Commercial paths
- Commercial plugin license
- Bundle with AltPay Multirail UI and Freeway Rails
- Exclusive acquisition of the gateway line
Best buyer fit
WooCommerce agencies and high-risk operators who will train staff to verify transfers.
Current status
Available (catalogued as v1.2.8). Confirm which source tree (AltPay-branded vs ReUp-branded variants) transfers.
Notes
Manual verification. Do not claim instant settlement or automatic bank matching unless a separate oracle is in the deal.
