Read what each one does below. 1. __Enable/Disable__ - Check this checkbox to Enable Credo on your store's checkout 2. __Title__ - This will represent Credo on your list of Payment options during checkout. It guides users to know which option to select to pay with Credo. __Title__ is set to "Debit/Credit Cards" by default, but you can change it to suit your needs. 3. __Description__ - This controls the message that appears under the payment fields on the checkout page. Use this space to give more details to customers about what Credo is and what payment methods they can use with it. 4. __Test Mode__ - Check this to enable test mode. When selected, the fields in step six will say "Test" instead of "Live." Test mode enables you to test payments before going live. The orders process with test payment methods, no money is involved so there is no risk. You can uncheck this when your store is ready to accept real payments. 5. __Payment Option__ - Select how Credo gateway displays to your customers. A popup displays Credo Gateway on the same page, while Redirect will redirect your customer to Credo Gateway page for payment. 6. __API Keys__ - The next two text boxes are for your Credo API keys, which you can get from your Credo Dashboard. If you enabled Test Mode in step four, then you'll need to use your test API keys here. Otherwise, you can enter your live keys. 7. __Additional Settings__ - While not necessary for the plugin to function, there are some extra configuration options you have here. You can do things like add custom metadata to your transactions (the data will show up on your Credo dashboard) or use Credo's [Dynamic settlement feature](https://credocentral.com). The tooltips next to the options provide more information on what they do. 8. Click on __Save Changes__ to update the settings. To account for poor network connections, which can sometimes affect order status updates after a transaction, we __strongly__ recommend that you set a Webhook URL on your Credo dashboard. This way, whenever a transaction is complete on your store, we'll send a notification to the Webhook URL, which will update the order and mark it as paid. You can set this up by using the URL in red at the top of the Settings page. Just copy the URL and save it as your webhook URL on your Credo dashboard under __Settings > webhook tab. If you do not find Credo on the Payment method options, please go through the settings again and ensure that: * You've checked the __"Enable/Disable"__ checkbox * You've entered your __API Keys__ in the appropriate field * You've clicked on __Save Changes__ during setup == Frequently Asked Questions == = What Do I Need To Use The Plugin = * A Credo merchant account—use an existing account or [create an account here](https://credocentral.com/register) * An active [WooCommerce installation](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/installing-uninstalling-woocommerce/) * A valid [SSL Certificate](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/ssl-and-https/) == Changelog == = 2.0.2 - June 5, 2024 = * Update: Changed author and contributor to Credo Software Engineering * Update: Add compatibility with Wordpress version 6.5.4 = 2.0.1 - April 5, 2024 = * Update: Removed "public" from api base url = 2.0.0 - January 27, 2024 = * New: Add support for WooCommerce checkout block * Tweak: WooCommerce 8.0 compatibility * Improve: Ensure order amount is in integer when initializing payment on Credo = 1.0.7 - October 8, 2023 = * Added Pop up payment option = 1.0.6 - September 21, 2023 = * Update: Updated banners and icons * Update: Updated Dynamic Settlement Settings = 1.0.1 - August 22, 2023 = * Update: Added Assets = 1.0.0 - July 24, 2023 = * First release == Screenshots == 1.
