For some businesses, the processes for identity verification are compelled by risk yearning. While for others, it is driven by compliance needs. But the main agenda of any business is to earn huge profits and grow.

Google introduced Wave, a digital identity platform. This platform was built with the aim to develop a decentralized ecosystem. Hence, the users can handle their own details with this. This platform is free-to-use and subsequently, has a tremendous client base.

WooCommerce is the WordPress plugin. It permits users to effectively build online stores without having any technical knowledge. The business owners can even manage inventory and accept payments through this eCommerce plugin.

Both platforms are compatible with one another. Let us see how it processes:-

Suppose a shopper purchases an item from your WooCommerce site. They used a PayPal account or credit card and completed the details of the transaction. The transaction ID is shared by the credit card company or PayPal to the WooCommerce site. The process takes place through an API call.

After getting this data, an API call is made through the WooCommerce site to Wave. The information will include all the transactions. This includes currency used, the name of the merchant, the amount paid, etc.

Next, Wave creates a unique identity for the specific user. It then sends back all the details of the transaction alongside newly identity. It is sent back to the WooCommerce site which uses these details in its database. This is for the purposes of accounting.

Wave WooCommerce integration assists to create a seamless experience while purchasing your products/ services from different websites. This is done in a decentralized manner and you do not have to be tensed against losing the privacy/ information.
