Install and activate
Get the gateway running on your WooCommerce store.
Upload the ZIP
In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, select the downloaded ZIP and click Install Now.
Activate and license
Activate the plugin, open its license screen, paste the key from your WP Honcho account and save.
Open the settings
Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Payments and open the Zelle gateway.
Add your Zelle details
Tell customers exactly where to send the payment.
Enable the gateway
Turn on the gateway and set the Checkout Title and Checkout Description customers see.
Email and/or phone
Enter the Zelle Email Address, the Zelle Phone Number, or both, exactly as they are registered with Zelle. Add a Zelle Name so customers recognize the recipient.
Optional QR code link
In your banking app, create a QR code for receiving Zelle payments, scan it with another device to get the link, then paste it into Zelle QR Code Link.
Order handling and automation
Choose how orders move once customers pay.
Pick a processing mode
Manual keeps new orders On Hold until you confirm payment. Automatic moves them straight to Processing.
Customize the note
Edit the Payment Note Template. {order_id} and {site_name} are replaced for each order.
Optional webhook
Enable webhooks, generate a secret key and follow the in-plugin guide to forward Zelle payment emails through Zapier’s Email Parser. Matching payments update the order to the status you choose.
