How it works

Four steps from your customer's checkout to the order leaving your warehouse.

  1. 1

    Customer chooses PaidTerms

    A business customer chooses PaidTerms at your checkout and pays in instalments.

  2. 2

    Order arrives On hold

    The order arrives in WooCommerce as On hold while the customer completes PaidTerms.

  3. 3

    PaidTerms confirms it

    Once PaidTerms confirms the order, it moves to Processing automatically.

  4. 4

    You ship the order

    Ship only orders in Processing.

Your orders list tells you what's ready: leave On hold orders alone, and ship the ones in Processing.

You choose where it appears

Show PaidTerms at checkout, or only on your product pages.

  • At checkout

    Show PaidTerms as a payment method alongside everything else you already accept, so customers choose instalments as they place the order.

  • On product pages only

    Rather not touch your checkout? Show PaidTerms on your product pages instead, so customers see instalments while they are still browsing.

Before you start

Four things to have sorted before you install the plugin.

  • Accept the WooCommerce terms

    You need to accept the WooCommerce terms before using the integration.

  • A PaidTerms account

    Sign up for a PaidTerms account. Your connection key is then on the Integrations panel of your PaidTerms dashboard.

  • One key per store address

    Your connection key works only for the store address it was created for.

  • A separate key for staging

    A staging copy of your store needs its own key.

Setting it up

Six steps, in this order. The labels below match the plugin screens exactly.

  1. 1

    Download the plugin zip.

  2. 2

    In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add Plugin → Upload Plugin. Upload the zip, then install and activate.

    Upload the zip exactly as it is. Do not unzip it.
  3. 3

    Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Payments → PaidTerms → Manage.

  4. 4

    Paste the connection key, tick “Test connection”, and save.

  5. 5

    Check that the connection message names your business: {{your business name}}.

    If it doesn’t, stop and contact PaidTerms.
  6. 6

    When the connection shows green, tick “Enable PaidTerms at checkout” and save.
