Payment Gateway Integration for a Restaurant Brand

Written by:Team Anglara

Published:August 19, 2025

Custom WooCommerce integration on WordPress with speed fixes and steady maintenance.

Project Overview

A restaurant group in Ireland needed a reliable way to accept online payments while keeping the site easy to use. They asked us to integrate a payment gateway with WooCommerce, fix UX issues that slowed checkout, improve page speed, and provide maintenance until the system was stable with live customers. We focused on the essentials: secure payments that just work, a clearer path to checkout, and performance wins that users could feel. With regular check-ins on Trello and Skype, releases stayed predictable and issues were resolved quickly. The outcome: smoother ordering, fewer blockers for staff, and a site that’s simpler to keep healthy.

The Challenge & Solutions

Challenges

No Online Payments

The site couldn’t accept card payments, forcing manual workarounds and lost orders.

Checkout Friction

Unclear steps and small UX gaps slowed users and increased drop-offs.

Slow Pages

Heavy assets and unoptimized media hurt load time—especially on mobile.

Unpredictable Maintenance

Issues were fixed reactively, risking downtime and poor customer experience.

Solutions

WooCommerce Payment Gateway

Integrated a secure payment gateway with order flow, webhooks, and test-to-live rollout.

UX Fixes for Checkout

Simplified steps, clearer labels and errors, and better mobile affordances to reduce friction.

Speed Optimization

Optimized media, pruned plugins, and trimmed render-blockers to improve page load.

Maintenance & Support

Monitored key flows, patched issues quickly, and kept releases predictable until stability.

Process

1. Define

Agree on gateway, flows, and success criteria.

2. Research

Audit checkout UX, plugins, and performance bottlenecks.

3. Analysis

Map order states, webhooks, and notification paths.

4. Design

Refine checkout UI/UX—copy, layout, and mobile behavior.

5. Prototype

Gateway in sandbox; test failed/success states.

6. Build

Integrate with WooCommerce; implement UX changes.

7. Test

UAT on devices; live test with limited window.

8. Launch & Iterate

Monitor, fix, and hand over stable operations.

Product Specs / Tech Stack

Platform: WordPress + WooCommerce.
Payments: Gateway integration with sandbox→live rollout and webhooks.
Perf: Media optimization, plugin audit, render-blocker trims.

Key Innovations

Test-to-Live Payment Rollout

Sandbox-first setup with clear success/failure handling and webhooks ensured a safe transition to live payments without disrupting orders.

Checkout UX Micro-Improvement

Small, high-impact fixes—field order, button states, error copy—made the flow feel effortless and reduced support questions.

Lightweight Performance Wins

Compressing media and cleaning up plugins delivered noticeable speed gains without risky refactors.

Conclusion
