[Sandbox] Configure WooCommerce settings

📘

Enable pretty permalinks in WordPress

Ensure that you enable Mpretty permalinks in your WordPress installation. Otherwise, callbacks from TrueLayer back to your store won’t work and orders will not be updated with the correct order status/information.

Install and configure the TrueLayer plugin in WooCommerce, so that you can start accepting payments.

Before you start

This guide assumes that you already have:

• a Console account and client credentials
• a TrueLayer merchant account
• the correct webhook and redirect URIs for your webshop, uploaded to Console
• signing keys

You need to set these up before you start working with the plugin itself.

1. Install the plugin

First, download and activate the TrueLayer for WooCommerce plugin.

1. Download the latest truelayer-for-woocommerce.zip.
2. Go to: WordPress Admin > Plugins > Add New and Upload Plugin.
   Upload the truelayer-for-woocommerce.zip file.
3. Click Install Now and then Activate.

At this stage, if you are testing payments for the first time, we recommend that you start with sandbox credentials.

2. Set up the plugin in sandbox

1. Go to: WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > TrueLayer.
2. Check the Enable TrueLayer checkbox.
3. Title: Enter Pay by bank app in this field.
4. Description: Enter Pay by bank app in this field as well.
5. Test Mode: check the Enable test mode for TrueLayer checkbox.
   This ensures that you can make dummy payments to test the plugin without any real money actually moving.
6. Logging: check the Log debug messages checkbox to save debug messages to the WooCommerce System Status log.
   This enables you to monitor transactions. If an error occurs, a detailed record of the error displays here.
7. Fill in the fields under TrueLayer beneficiary credentials and TrueLayer Sandbox credentials with the corresponding information in Console. See below for where to find that information:

8. Make sure to click Save changes.
