✅ Payment Method Management

In the Payments tab, you can:

• Enable or disable payment gateways by toggling the switch next to each method.
• Reorder payment gateways by dragging them to the desired position (important for custom checkout flows).
• Configure each payment method by clicking on the “Set Up” or “Manage” button next to each option.

🧑‍💻 Advanced Payment Settings (optional)

1. Payment Request Buttons:
   • Some payment gateways (like PayPal and Stripe) offer payment request buttons for easy one-click payments.
2. Payment Method Restrictions:
   • You can restrict payment methods based on certain conditions, such as specific countries, user roles, or cart totals.
   • For example, you can restrict PayPal for international orders or offer COD only for specific regions.
3. Capture Charges Immediately:
   • For gateways that authorize payments (like PayPal), you can set them to capture charges immediately or after the order is processed.

📦 How to Install Additional Payment Gateways

If you don’t see a payment method you’d like to offer (e.g., Klarna, Authorize.Net, etc.), you can easily add more via the WooCommerce Marketplace:

1. Go to Plugins > Add New.
2. Search for the payment gateway plugin (e.g., “Klarna for WooCommerce”).
3. Install and activate the plugin.
4. Once activated, go back to WooCommerce > Settings > Payments, and you should see the new gateway available for configuration.

⚠️ Important Considerations

• Always test payment gateways in sandbox mode before going live.
• Make sure to configure SSL (Secure Socket Layer) for secure transactions, especially if you’re processing payments directly on your site.
