Automatic Installation<\/h4>\n\n

The automatic installation process is the most convenient method for adding WooCommerce to your WordPress site, as it eliminates the need for manual file handling. With this option, WordPress manages the entire file transfer process, allowing you to complete the installation without leaving your web browser.<\/p>\n\n

To begin, log in to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to the \u201cPlugins\u201d menu, and click on \u201cAdd New.\u201d In the search box that appears, type \u201cMonek Checkout\u201d and press \u201cSearch Plugins.\u201d Once you locate Monek Checkout in the search results, you\u2019ll be able to view key details about the plugin, including the current version, user ratings, and a brief description of its features. When you\\'re ready to proceed, simply click the \u201cInstall Now\u201d button, and WordPress will automatically handle the installation for you.<\/p>\n\n

Manual Installation<\/h4>\n\n

If you prefer to install Monek Checkout manually, this method requires downloading the plugin directly from the WordPress plugin repository and uploading it to your web server via an FTP client. To start, download the Monek Checkout plugin file to your computer. Next, use an FTP application of your choice to upload the plugin files to the appropriate directory on your web server.<\/p>\n\n

For detailed instructions on how to carry out a manual installation, refer to the WordPress Codex, which provides comprehensive guidance on the process. https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/article\/managing-plugins\/#manual-plugin-installation<\/p>\n\n

Experience the future of payment processing with Monek where simplicity meets sophistication.<\/p>\n\n

Other Configuration Settings:<\/p>\n\n

Enable GooglePay: \nIndicates if the Google Pay\u2122 button will appear on the checkout page. YES<\/code> or NO<\/code> (default)<\/p>\n\n

All merchants must adhere to the Google Pay APIs Acceptable Use Policy<\/a> and accept the terms defined in the Google Pay API Terms of Service<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Google Pay is a trademark of Google LLC.<\/p>\n\n

Enable Consignment Sales:\nIndicates if the consignment sales feature will be enabled. YES<\/code> or NO<\/code> (default)<\/p>\n\n

This will mean that a Monek ID will be required to be mapped to each product individually.<\/p>\n\n\n

Why is my order in \\'Pending Payment\\' and not cancelling when the user fails to complete the payment?\nPending Payment means the order has been received, but no payment has been made. Pending payment orders are generally awaiting customer action.<\/p>\n\n

If the customer fails to complete the payment, the order will remain in \\'Pending Payment\\' status until it is manually cancelled or the payment is completed unless the timeout period is reached.<\/p>\n\n

The timeout period is set in the WooCommerce settings. To change the timeout period, navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Inventory > Hold Stock. Adjust the timeout period as needed.<\/p>\n\n

This is a WooCommerce default behavior and not specific to the Monek Gateway plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n
