In this guide, we will show you step by step how to install and configure the PaynoPain plugin for WooCommerce, so your store is ready to accept online payments.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Initial requirements for installing the WooCommerce plugin<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

For the plugin to work correctly, you must complete these mandatory steps:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Register your business<\/b><\/h3>\n

Your business must be registered on the PaynoPain payment gateway. This step is essential to receive payments and generate plugin access credentials.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Receive access credentials<\/b><\/h3>\n

Once registered, you will receive your credentials to access the PaynoPain control panel. These credentials are required to log in to the plugin and connect your store to the payment gateway.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>WooCommerce plugin configuration<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

After installing the plugin, you will see a new section called \u201c<\/span>PaynoPain<\/b>\u201d in the WordPress side menu. When you access it, you will reach the plugin\u2019s welcome page, where you can log in with your credentials.<\/span><\/p>\n

Steps to install the plugin in your ecommerce<\/b><\/h3>\n

1. Click \u201c<\/span>I already have an account<\/b>\u201d and enter your credentials to access the plugin\u2019s main page.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. <\/span>Next, the following screen will appear with Sandbox<\/strong> enabled by default. In other words, a testing environment that allows you to simulate payments without processing real transactions.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Switch between Sandbox or Production using the corresponding toggle (\u201c<\/span>Test Mode<\/b>\u201d) depending on the environment you need. Use Sandbox mode to run simulations and verify that everything works correctly. Once everything is ready, switch to Production to start accepting real payments in your store.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. If you use the payment page instead of the PaynoPain checkout, you can select the default language. This option redirects the customer to an external page to complete the payment.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. When logging in, the plugin automatically downloads your business configuration. It is not necessary to manually enter your credentials, although you can always check them in the \u201c<\/span>here<\/b>\u201d link (above the \u201c<\/span>Save changes<\/b>\u201d button), which will open a dropdown panel showing your credentials.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Payment methods available in the plugin<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

The PaynoPain plugin offers two modes to process payments in your WooCommerce store:<\/span><\/p>\n

Checkout payment<\/b><\/h3>\n

This is the standard mode. The user is redirected to the PaynoPain <\/span>hosted checkout,<\/b> where they will see all the payment methods configured by your business and can choose the most convenient one.<\/span><\/p>\n
