PostFinance Checkout

Wir haben über ein das Jahr PostFinance Checkout Plugin benutzt. Fazit: Das Plugin ist schlecht entwickelt, hinkt immer unzähligen WooCommerce Aktualisierungen hinterher und bei jedem Plugin Update muss man Angst haben das etwas wieder nicht funktioniert. Nie wieder. Mein Tipp an euch: Rennt so schnell wie möglich zu Datatrans, dort habt ihr mit mameDEV einen kompetenten Entwickler hinter dem WooCommerce Plugin das perfekt funktioniert, und sollte doch mal etwas nicht ganz bei der Integration mit einem Zahlungsmittel funktionieren, wird sofort auf Probleme eingegangen und diese umgehend mit einem Update gelöst. Seit dem läuft bei uns alles reibungslos.

Plugin is constantly lagging behind the WooCommerce releases. After every update, there is a risk that things will no longer work.

Jamais à jour et depuis plus d’un an avec la dernière version de woocommerce, on dirait que l’équipe ne se soucis aucunement du problème !? Bon, on dirait que cela bouge car il y avait de grandes différences de versions et aujourd’hui c’est mieux : «The plugin PostFinanceCheckout has been tested up to WooCommerce 9.3.1 but you have installed the version 9.3.2. Please notice that this is not recommended.»

Previous issues have been resolved, and I am reviewing version 3.1.2, which I can confidently recommend!

I belive that if you choose Postfinance gateway you are obliged to use this plugin. Unfortunately it doesn’t even fullfill minor requirements and can become developers hell. I have contacted postfinance and documented the issues but only got arrogant replies, they don’t bother at all. Last time (back in autumn 2023) I crashed a full website by deactivating WooCommerce. The plugins code doesn’t even contain a simple check if WooCommerce is runing so it then calls non existing Woocommerce functions which makes the system fully crash. Not nice. I sent this and further code samples to Postfinance – obviously they don’t care and I’m quite sure nothing has been done. They ask you to not update WooCommerce untill they have fixed their stuff – you couldn’t make this up, just a joke.

We have experienced significant issues with the plugin designed for PostFinance integrations since a long time. Despite our efforts to highlight these concerns, alongside other companies, to PostFinance’s senior management, problems persist. The plugin struggles to stay updated with WooCommerce, leading to frequent issues on client websites after updates. We suggest revisiting the choice of service providers for these critical components. Switzerland is home to many reputable companies with a proven track record of reliability and expertise, which could substantially improve the service quality. It’s disappointing to see these challenges continue, especially given PostFinance’s reputation. Additionally, it’s worth noting that Wallee, previously known as CustomWeb GmbH, has historically faced criticism for its support and development of WordPress plugins. Prompt action to address these matters would greatly benefit the security and efficiency of websites linked to PostFinance.
