Here’s a brief guide on how to use the “Payment Gateways by Shipping for WooCommerce” plugin:
- Install and Activate the Plugin: First, install the plugin on your WooCommerce site and activate it.
- Access Plugin Settings: Navigate to “WooCommerce > Settings > Payment Gateways by Shipping” in your WordPress dashboard.
- Configure Payment Gateways for Shipping Methods:
- In the plugin’s settings page, you will find a section listing all the active shipping methods set up in your WooCommerce store. This could include methods like ‘Standard Shipping’, ‘Express Delivery’, or any custom shipping options you have created.
- Next to each shipping method, there will be options to select which payment gateways should be available when that particular shipping method is chosen by a customer during checkout.
- You can enable or disable specific payment gateways (such as Direct Bank Transfer, PayPal, Check Payments, etc.) for each shipping method. For instance, you might want to enable ‘Cash on Delivery’ only for local shipping options but disable it for international shipping.
- If your store operates in different shipping zones, you can also configure payment gateways for each zone separately, providing even more customized checkout options based on the customer’s location.
- After setting up the payment gateways for each shipping method or zone, customers will only see the payment options you’ve associated with the shipping method they select, making the checkout process more streamlined and relevant to their shipping choice.
- Save Your Settings: After configuring the payment gateways for each shipping method, save your changes.
- Test the Checkout Process: It’s important to test the checkout process to ensure that the correct payment gateways are displayed for each shipping method.
