Help4 Payment Routing
Choose the payment path that matches your store. Help4 Builder includes routing for native Help4 Commerce. Payment Router for Stripe is a separate paid plugin for WooCommerce stores that need multiple Stripe accounts.
Two different packages. Processor fees, merchant accounts and endpoint configuration are separate from the Builder download.
Selling through Help4 Commerce? Start here.
The native Commerce router connects the order workflow to configured processor adapters. Use the Builder catalog and gateway settings rather than installing a WooCommerce-only account router.
- Included in the free Help4 Builder Suite.
- Adapter paths include Stripe routing, PayPal, Square, Braintree, Authorize.Net, hosted payments and Wise.
- A configured, working endpoint is required for the chosen adapter.
- A route response is not proof a payment settled: verify the processor record and order state.
Already using WooCommerce and Stripe?
Use the standalone Payment Router for Stripe when different products or approved regions should select different Stripe connections.
- Create clearly named Stripe connections.
- Match by product, category, ZIP code, state or country.
- Review priority and the default/fallback assignment.
- Test matching, non-matching and mixed-product carts before launch.

Real standalone router screens from the documentation library. The assignment belongs to a named connection; it is not a payment credential pasted into a page.

Useful reasons to add routing
Use routing to express a real business rule. Adding another account is not a substitute for a clear payment and fulfillment plan.
- Separate product ownership across approved business accounts.
- Use approved regional assignments for different operations.
- Move a limited product group to a new account before expanding.
- Keep a documented default path for an unmatched cart.
Before customers can pay
A useful launch test follows the order from the cart to the account that receives it, then back to the order and customer message.
- Test success, decline and a customer retry.
- Check delayed and duplicate webhook handling.
- Confirm refund ownership and processor/order records.
- Check subscriptions and renewal routing for your actual setup.
- Keep a recoverable configuration and record the accounts used.
Questions before you start
Which router should I use with Help4 Commerce?
Use the native Commerce routing layer in Builder Suite. Configure the supported adapter and endpoint, then test the complete order and payment workflow.
Which router should I use with WooCommerce?
Payment Router for Stripe is the separate WooCommerce product for routing across Stripe accounts. Compare its Pro and Enterprise plans and confirm the current entitlements before ordering.
Is every listed processor ready without configuration?
No. The native router has adapter paths, but the chosen processor needs a working configuration and endpoint. Validate the specific checkout, callback, refund and subscription behavior you intend to use.
Can Help4 configure the routes?
Yes. Send the store type, account count, product/category map, approved regions and desired result. Do not include live secret keys in an ordinary contact message.
