Why WooCommerce is the best storefront for peptide merchants
WooCommerce is open-source and does not police your product catalog the way Shopify does, which makes it the default storefront for peptide stores, SARM brands, and research-chemical retailers. The catch is that WooCommerce ships with Stripe and PayPal modules out of the box, both of which prohibit peptide sales. Installing a high-risk WooCommerce payment gateway like Peptide Payments solves the bottleneck without forcing you to rebuild your store. The plugin drops in next to your existing Stripe module, you switch the default, and your checkout keeps working.
How the WooCommerce Integration Works
Setup runs in 4 steps and most peptide merchants are processing through WooCommerce within 24 hours of submitting a complete application.
- Install the Peptide Payments WooCommerce plugin in your WordPress admin
- Enter your approved merchant credentials from your account manager
- Choose card, ACH, or both as accepted methods at checkout
- Test mode lets you place a $0 order before going live
Pricing
The WooCommerce integration uses interchange-plus pricing, average effective rates land near 2.4% plus $0.10 per transaction for qualified peptide retailers, versus 3.5%–4.5% on flat-rate gateways like Stripe. There are no monthly minimums, no PCI fees, and no integration fees.
Who the WooCommerce Integration Is Built For
- WooCommerce peptide and research chemical stores
- WooCommerce SARM and supplement brands
- WooCommerce subscription clubs

- Self-hosted WordPress checkout
