Is Western Union available in all countries? What are some of Western Union restrictions, limitations, failures, disadvantages? Are there Western Union web Integration, Western Union IPN, Western Union payment buttons, Western Union woocommerce plugin? You can actually use Western union to receive payments online. It is available worldwide. In some countries you can receive money directly to your mobile wallet without the need of visiting their local agents. There's no automatic way of receiving western Union payments. The sender must have your details. Full names, your country, city etc. To get the money you need to have senders detail too plus tracking code(MTCN). Most customers don't like using this method because it is too expensive and time-consuming. Given that Western union is a money transfer company, they don't offer e-commerce tools. They also discourage their users from sending money for online purchases. 1 Admin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
