How to Configure the Checkout Options

The checkout Options of WooCommerce will allow you to configure the use of coupons, to define the pages and URLs used by the concrete Checkout process components and most importantly a way to manage the existing payment methods. In the next few lines of this tutorial we will review all of the options related to the Checkout Process which you are provided with.

Before you can start with the configuration of concrete payment method you will need to first configure the Checkout Options supported by your Store. This can be easily achieved if you access the admin area of your Wordpress application and then by navigating to the WooCommerce>Settings>Checkout page.

There you will be able to find two section of settings and bellow we will discuss each one of those.

The first section is called Checkout Process and there you will be able to find the following options:

• Coupons – This will enable the use of coupons on the checkout pages
• Checkout – Here you can enable options for guest checkout or to force the https:// secure connection on that page

The second section of settings is called Checkout Pages and as the name suggests here you will be able to configure the pages for the different components involved in the checkout process:

• Cart Page – Here you will be able to define a page from your website where the customers will be able to view their shopping Cart
• Checkout Page – Here you will be able to define the page where the user will be able to complete the Checkout process
• Terms and Conditions – Here you will be able to define the page which will be used for the Terms and Conditions texts

The third and final section is called Checkout Endpoints and there you will be able to configure the URLs for handling specific actions during the checkout process. Keep in mind that these URLs should be unique and they should not be repeated.

The option you have available here for configuration are:
 

• Pay – The URL that should be used for the payments page
• Order Received – The URL that should be used for the received order page
• Add Payment Method – The URL that should be used for add payment method

The final section is called Payment Gateways and there you will be able to receive more information on the already configured payment methods. And of course to set them as per your needs.
