Bizum setup

Bizum is Spain's #1 instant payment method, surfaced at checkout through Redsys. Important upfront: Bizum is direct payment only — it has no native recurring. This page explains how to enable it, when to use it, and how to combine it with a card gateway for subscription renewals.

Enable it

1. Configure Redsys first (Bizum runs on top of Redsys).
2. In WooCommerce → Settings → Payments → Redsys → Manage, tick Enable Bizum.
3. Save. Bizum now appears as a separate option at checkout for customers who pay one-off.

Bizum and recurring

If Bizum launches a recurring flow in the future, the plugin will support it the same day. Until then, the supported pattern is:

• Initial order: customer pays with Bizum (one tap on their phone, very low friction).
• Renewal: customer is asked to add a card or use another tokenisable method. This happens automatically at the first renewal.

The cleaner pattern for subscriptions is to skip Bizum at signup and ask for a card from the start. Less drop-off later, fewer renewal failures.
