Getting started with WooCommerce

  Last updated: 

  Unfortunately, the product documented here is currently only available in English.

 

  This plugin requires WooCommerce to work. Please install WooCommerce before proceeding.

  Testing

This plugin has been tested by Trust Payments to ensure compatibility with the latest WooCommerce installation version using the default Storefront theme, with the assumption that no other themes or plugins have been installed. Please be aware that when using our plugin alongside other third-party themes or plugins, it is your responsibility to ensure you thoroughly test your configuration to ensure correct operation.

We recommend setting up two instances of your WooCommerce store - one for staging and the other for processing live transactions - and configuring them in the same way. This will help you to perform tests before applying updates going forward.     Click here to learn more (link to external site).

  • Payment Action
    Choose between the following options:
    • Authorize and Capture - Trust Payments sends a request to the issuing bank for payment authorisation and the funds will be captured in a subsequent settlement run (normally within 24 hours).
    • Authorize and Capture (Bypass fraud checks) - Trust Payments sends a request to the issuing bank for payment authorisation and the funds will be captured in a subsequent settlement run (normally within 24 hours). This option bypasses our internal fraud and duplicate checks.
    • Authorize Only - Trust Payments sends a request to the issuing bank for payment authorisation, but the funds will not be captured without further action from the merchant. The order will be updated to “On hold” and you will need to update the transaction to capture the funds.
      How to capture funds
      1. Navigate to WooCommerce Orders.

      2. Find the order you wish to update. This can be normally found by looking at the Status in yellow (On hold).

      3. Click the “Choose an action…” drop-down found within the “Order actions” block and select “Capture transaction via Trust Payments”.

        woo-gs-2.png

      4. Click "Update". This process sends a request to Trust Payments to update the order from settlestatus 2 (Suspended) to settlestatus 1 or 0 (depending on the Capture Settle Status setting detailed below). The order in the plugin will then update to Status “Processing” and the Order notes will be updated too.

  • Capture Settle Status
    If the Payment Action drop-down described above is set to "Authorize Only", the Capture Settle Status drop-down is used to determine how Trust Payments handles the settlement process after you approve the order. Choose between the following two options:
    • 0 - Allows settlement to occur, providing the transaction passes fraud checks
    • 1 - Allows settlement to occur, bypassing fraud checks

  • Settle Due Date
    The date on which funds are to be transferred to your bank account following authorisation from the issuing bank. Can be delayed for up to seven days.

  • MOTO Payment
    Enable/disable MOTO payments (Mail Order Telephone Orders).

  • Saved Cards
    This allows your customers to save credit/debit cards to their account for future purchases.

  • Maximum Saved Cards
    The maximum number of credit/debit cards the customer can save to their account.

  • Debug Log
    Enable/disable the display of debugging information for developers. The logs can be found in WooCommerce > Status > Logs.

  • Enable Url Notification and URL Notification Password
    The checkbox must be checked to enable the notification on the plugin. You will then need to contact Trust Payments directly to enable the notification on the Trust Payments platform as well. Failure to do so will prevent orders from being processed. During this process, you will agree on a password with our Support Team, which will need to be entered into the textbox provided here. Click here to learn more.

  • Cloudflare IP Ranges
    This field allows any user that uses a Cloudflare CDN to also allow the IP addresses of the Cloudflare CDN to be included in the whitelist of allowed IP addresses.

After you have filled in the above, click "Save changes".

To begin your integration with Google Pay, you will need to confirm/request the following details from
our Support Team.

  • Ensure Google Pay is enabled on your site reference.

Apple Pay - Powered by our JS Library embedded into your checkout page

Follow the steps below to enable Apple Pay on our WooCommerce plugin:


  1. Have your authorised contact reach out to our Support Team and request to have Apple Pay enabled on your site reference(s). In your email, we require you to attach a CSV file that contains a list of all of the site references you intend to register and their associated domain(s).

    The format of the CSV file must be as follows:

    Site reference, Domain name

    For example:

    site10001, example.com
    test_site10003, example.com
      Please include all relevant test and live site references and domains in the file.

    Our Support Team will update you once the registration process for the specified domains is complete.

    • Check the "Enable/Disable" checkbox.
    • Enter the "Title" of this payment method to be displayed on the checkout to your customers.
    • Enter your site reference into the "Merchant Identifier" field.
    • Set your "Merchant Name" to be your company name (e.g. "My Company Ltd.").
    • Customise the appearance of the Apple Pay button by selecting an option from the "Button style" drop-down.

  3. Download the domain-verification file from this link:

      Click here to download

    You must prepare each domain by hosting the received domain-verification file in this location, as this will be publicly queried to complete the domain registration process:

    https://[DOMAIN_NAME]/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association

    Ensure the file and the hidden .well-known directory are given read and execute permissions. (For Unix, this is typically done by using the command chmod 755 <filename or folder>).

      As part of the Apple Pay validation process, Apple requires that the validation file returns an HTTP 200 OK response. Any other HTTP response code, such as a 301 Moved Permanently, will be treated as a failure. To ensure Apple Pay works properly, the validation file must be configured to always return an HTTP 200 OK response.
PayPal - Powered by our JS Library embedded into your checkout page

Navigate to WooCommerce > Settings, click the Payments tab, then click Trust Payments - PayPal.

woo-gs-5.png

  Before PayPal can be enabled, you must navigate to the Trust Payments - Credit/Debit cards (via API) page as described above and configure the API settings there, as the successful operation of PayPal is dependent on the configuration performed there.

To configure PayPal, first click here and follow the instructions provided to enable this on your site reference. Once configured, check the “Enable/Disable” checkbox, provide a Title to be shown on the success page, and click "Save changes". Following configuration, the PayPal logo will be displayed on your checkout.
