Installing WigWag for payments on my site was a very simple process. The FAQs on the plugin page and their help centre were quite useful when needed. When I did have a question during the installation the support team was really quick and efficient in resolving it. Having used the gateway now it works really well and my customers don’t have any issues. Even now that I have it installed, any time I have had a question the support team has been super helpful.
