Treat a new payment method as a change to the store’s order lifecycle. Test the complete journey on a staging store before activating it for customers.
01 / Review compatibility
Check the current requirements of your WordPress, WooCommerce and payment integration versions. Follow the maintained integration documentation and take a restorable store backup before changing plugins.
02 / Connect the right store
Use the payment provider’s documented authorization flow and minimum required permissions. Confirm the correct store and receiving configuration without exposing wallet secrets to the storefront.
03 / Verify the whole order
Test invoice creation, callback delivery, confirmation and the resulting WooCommerce order state. Include expired invoices, interrupted checkouts and duplicate notifications.
04 / Launch with a support plan
Prepare customer instructions, reconciliation and a reviewed refund process. After launch, inspect the first transactions and investigate mismatches between order and invoice state.
Planning guidance. Confirm procedures against your software version’s documentation and seek qualified support for your environment. Reviewed October 31, 2026.
