Yes. You must have an active merchant account with Astragate to use this gateway. Contact Astragate to obtain your credentials. ### Does this plugin store card details? No. All sensitive payment data is handled by Astragate. Your store never sees or stores full card numbers, keeping you outside the highest levels of PCI DSS scope. ### Is the plugin compatible with WooCommerce Blocks / Cart & Checkout blocks? The plugin follows current WooCommerce payment gateway standards. Full block-based checkout support depends on the version and is under continuous improvement. ### How does the Return URL work? After payment completion, customers are redirected back to the correct store URL with the necessary transaction parameters. ### Where can I get support?
