- Neteller
- PaysafeCard
- PaysafeCash
- Apple Pay
- Google Pay

### Canceling the Payment

Payment can be canceled in two ways by changing the order status to Canceled:

1. The first case is when the payment is only authorized, in which a Void transaction is issued to cancel the
   authorization.
2. The second case is canceling the settlement for authorized and captured transactions that haven't yet been
   settled in the payment gateway.

### Refunds

The extension supports automatic refunds, meaning refunds can be processed directly in WooCommerce
without the need to access the merchant portal.

### Card payment with Authorization only or with Settlement

By default, the extension is configured to authorize and capture payments simultaneously.
It is also possible to authorize payments and perform a manual capture later.
Manual capture is supported through the extension by simply changing the order status.

### Saving card details during checkout

The extension supports saving payment details for future use. Customers who choose to save their payment
details can use them for future purchases, requiring only CVV confirmation for such transactions.

### Post-purchase payment for an order

Customer can complete payment for an order if the initial payment attempt was unsuccessful.
