I installed a previous version of WooCommerce. Will I be able to use WeeConnectPay for WooCommerce?

No, the plugin is only compatible with WooCommerce versions >= 3.0.4 and we advise you to update to one of these versions. But don’t forget to make a backup of your installation first. For making a backup use our free WordPress backup plugin BackWPup.

Am I able to use WeeConnectPay for multiple ecommerce shops?

Yes, you can use the WeeConnectPay plugin on various online stores with WooCommerce.

With WeeConnectPay for WooCommerce, which payment methods can I integrate into my shop?

With our plugin, you can integrate both credit and debit card payment options.

Yes!

Does WeeConnectPay allow subscription payments?

Yes! WeeConnectPay fully supports subscription and recurring payments. You can use WooCommerce Subscriptions or other compatible subscription plugins with WeeConnectPay. Subscription payments are also manageable through the Clover web portal.

Does the vendor get their money directly no matter the used payment option?

Vendors receive their money the next morning. Banks are closed on weekends or holidays, so you will receive your money the next working day.

Does WeeConnectPay work for international transactions too?

At this time WeeConnectPay can only be used by a Canadian bank account holder. But their buyers can buy and pay all over the world.

How can I disable the WeeConnectPay Checkout button?

The WeeConnectPay Checkout button is available in the following places:
– Single Product Page
– Cart Page
– Mini Cart

For each of these, you can decide to enable/disable the button.
To do so just go into WooCommerce > Settings > Checkout Settings.

On this page it is possible to select whether you want to see the buttons.

If you don’t want to have Express Checkout Gateway enabled you can disable it from the same page.
