Nexi XPay

This module allows you to connect your e-commerce website to the XPay payment gateway. 
XPay is Nexi’s service that enables you to accept online and mobile payments easily and quickly.
XPay is the payment gateway provided by Nexi, a leading group in Italy with the goal of shaping the future of digital payments.
Nexi has a strong market position, managing 44 million payment cards and processing transactions totaling 186 billion euros. It has 860,000 affiliated points of sale in Italy, including over 18,000 e-commerce platforms that use the XPay payment gateway.

The XPay Build extension for WordPress/WooCommerce enables you to integrate the XPay payment gateway into your website without additional implementations. XPay Build is a solution that allows, through the use of a Javascript SDK client, to host the payment form within your site, without redirecting the customer to the XPay checkout page, but at the same time avoiding to manage the card data.
The extension is regularly updated to incorporate the advancements and improvements of XPay.
To use the extension, you need an XPay account, which you can easily obtain online at https://ecommerce.nexi.it/.

Adding/Removing Alternative Payment Methods

Bancomat Pay 
The plugin updates the order status through a notification sent by Nexi’s servers. If the module doesn’t receive the notification correctly, it won’t be able to update the status. 
By default, in case of notification issues (unreachable site, errors received from the merchant’s site), the transaction is canceled, even if the payment is successfully completed. This behavior ensures that the status of Nexi transactions aligns with the order status in the CMS. 
The option to cancel the transaction in case of failed notification is not available with the Bancomat Pay payment method. In case of notification anomalies, there might be discrepancies between the order status returned by the plugin and the actual transaction status on the Nexi side. Therefore, the following scenario may occur: the Bancomat Pay payment is successfully made with a positive outcome, but due to a notification problem, the plugin is unable to update the order status to “Processing.” 
This payment method doesn’t support transaction refunds. In case of a refund, the merchant will need to proceed with a bank transfer or another method.
