Fantastic plugin to receive BPAY payments. We have used Pay Advantage for over a year now and easy to configure. With the implementation of 3Dsecure we had a few issues with WooCommerce saying the order failed even though payment was still going through to our bank account. After contacting Pay Advantage they worked on the issue straight away and got the issue sorted. They even went further and created a few new features for us which will be great for anyone else wanting to receive BPAY payments. Once the order is complete you can now select from a dropdown what you want WooCommerce to set the order after payment is received. For what it does and the service you get from the developers we rate this plugin 5 star.
