MW Supports Cart66

MW Integrated with Cart66 – FINALLY!

It has definitely been a long time coming and an integration that has been requested by so many Australian merchants. Cart66 is an eCommerce plugin for the popular blogging software wordpress that enables merchants to “sell electronics, digital downloads, videos, music, web hosting, legal services, collect membership fees, and more.”Cart66

Over the past few months we have had an overwhelming number of requests to have the Merchant Warrior Payment Gateway integrated with the Cart66 plugin. The lack of support for an Australian payment processing option made the extremely flexible and popular Cart66 plugin unusable for many Australian merchants.

We feel extremely lucky to have been contacted by Dante Chichizola @dchichizola a senior web developer from Macintype Design who registered his interest in integrating the Merchant Warrior Payment Gateway into the Cart66 plugin.

Thanks to the efforts of Dante an Australian payment option finally exists for the Cart66 plugin! The plugin can be found at the Merchant Warrior Developer Zone or by clicking here.

We will be contacting the great team at Cart66 to have the plugin available with the professional version of the plugin. We understand they are extremely busy but do hope we manage to get this merged into their development cycle in time for their next release.
