Skrill (otherwise known as Moneybookers) is one of the world’s largest online payment providers, and is currently used by over 135,000 merchants. Skrill supports over 40 currencies, covering 200 countries and territories, and allows you to securely accept over 100 local payment options, bank transfers, and credit cards.
The WooCommerce Skrill payment gateway extension sends payment through Skrill’s secure servers by either redirecting the customer to Skrill’s securely hosted payment page to enter payment information or by iframing this page on your own site. Since the customer’s payment information is handled by Skrill’s servers and not your own, a valid SSL certificate is not required and complex PCI requirements are eliminated. Skrill is designed to let you focus on selling and growing your business, not becoming a PCI expert.
