Presentation of the module

1) Objective of the module

This tutorial is intended for all merchants who have subscribed to the CinetPay offer and relying on the WooCommerce platform with the WordPress CMS for the development of their ecommerce store. It describes step-by-step the integration of the payment module.


Avertissement : The compatibility of the cinetpay_woocommerce_3.0.0 .zip module is not guaranteed for WooCommerce versions prior to version 3.7.0

2) Module features

The payment module offers the following features:

  • Compatible with WooCommerce version 3.7.0 and above
  • Compatible only with classic checkout.
  • Systematic update of orders at the end of payment via a silent url (url of notification)
  • Multi currency compatible,
  • Possibility to activate module logs

READ ABSOLUTELY BEFORE GOING FURTHER

The most common mistake is the notification URL. The notification URL is the only mechanism allowing the CinetPay platform to notify you of the end of the payment. Make sure that your customers fill in the information on the order form such as: email, address, city, country, state, postal address in order to pay by credit card.

Common mistakes:

  • If your WordPress store is under maintenance
  • If you have coded a .htaccess on the notification url
  • If you have blocked the IP addresses of the payment platform
  • If your store does not use ISO international currency codes
  • If debug mode is disabled on your store
  • If the country field is not available on the order form

Please check that your site is available or that your notification url is functional
