# ZGo Payment Gateway for *WooCommerce*
## What is the ZGo Payment Gateway for *WooCommerce*?
ZGo Payment Gateway for Woocomerce is a custom payment Plugin that allows a WooCommerce based online store, to accept payments using Zcash.
The Plugin connects WooCommerce Online Store with ZGo Backend to provide customers with an easy way to pay using a Zcash wallet.
## How does it work?
The payment flow is shown bellow:
