Trust Payments Gateway for WooCommerce for WordPress

I’ve been running a small online shop on WordPress for a couple of years, and the moment I hit the wall with basic payment options, I started looking for something better than the default Stripe or PayPal setups. This Trust Payments plugin showed up in my search and honestly? It just worked. No weird setup wizard, no sudden API key panic. I dropped it in, plugged in my credentials, and boom - credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal all started showing up at checkout like they’d always belonged.

The good stuff

What really stood out was how smooth the Apple Pay integration felt. One of my customers actually sent me a message saying “this is way faster than the other site.” That’s not a lie - it’s genuinely snappy, especially on mobile. The saved card feature also helps repeat buyers skip the form every time, which cuts down on cart abandonment. And yeah, you can manage transactions right from the WordPress admin panel, which is nice if you’re handling MOTO orders (like phone sales) without jumping into another dashboard. The HTTPS-only processing means I don’t have to worry about PCI compliance headaches either - big win.

The not-so-good

It’s not perfect. The plugin doesn’t have any real customization for the checkout page layout - if you want to tweak the button colors or spacing, you’re stuck with what’s there. Also, no built-in subscription management, so if you’re selling memberships or recurring stuff, you’ll need another plugin alongside this one. And honestly? There’s zero documentation beyond the basic setup steps. If you’re not familiar with WooCommerce internals, you might get lost trying to debug errors. Plus, since the developer is unknown and there’s no download count, I wouldn’t trust this on a high-volume site unless you’re okay with potential long-term support risks.

Bottom line

If you’re running a small to mid-sized WooCommerce store on WordPress and want reliable card payments with Apple Pay and PayPal without paying extra, this free plugin is worth a try. It’s straightforward, secure, and gets the job done. But if you need deep customization, subscriptions, or strong support history, look elsewhere. For a free tool, it’s pretty solid - just know it’s not going to do everything. Give it a shot if you’re tired of clunky gateways that make checkout feel like a chore.
