Online Payment on WooCommerce in Morocco

WooCommerce powers over 30% of online stores worldwide, and in Morocco it's the leading open-source platform. ChariBaaS provides an official WooCommerce plugin to accept CMI cards, Visa, Mastercard, Maroc Pay and wallets directly inside your WordPress site, in native MAD with no external dependency.

What is it?

WooCommerce is the open-source e-commerce extension for WordPress, used by around 30% of online stores worldwide. In Morocco, it's the dominant choice for merchants who want full control of their store without depending on a proprietary platform like Shopify.

To accept online payments on WooCommerce in Morocco, you need to install a payment gateway compatible with WooCommerce that supports local methods: CMI cards, Visa/Mastercard with 3D Secure, Maroc Pay and Moroccan wallets.

WooCommerce gateways available in Morocco:

  • ChariBaaS WooCommerce Plugin, local + international cards, Maroc Pay, wallets, native MAD, sandbox
  • CMI, domestic cards only, via third-party plugin
  • Payzone, local cards, more complex integration
  • Stripe / PayPal, not available in Morocco for local settlement
