How do I activate Yoco for WooCommerce on my WordPress site?​

Step 1: Sign up with Yoco​

To receive payments with Yoco, you need a Yoco profile. Please continue to Step 2 if you’re already part of our community.

Step 2: Install Yoco for WooCommerce on your WordPress website​

  1. Log into WordPress and go to My Sites > WP Admin.
  2. Go to Plugins > Add new.
  3. In the search bar, search for ‘Yoco Payments’.
  4. Click on ‘Install Now’.
  5. Choose ‘Activate’ when the installation is done.

Step 3: Activate Yoco on your WooCommerce webshop​

  1. In your Yoco Dashboard, go to Sell Online > Payment Gateway.
  2. Copy the Live and Test Secret Keys. Use the Test API keys to test if payments work with a test card. The Live API keys are for real transactions.
  3. Go back to your WordPress Admin Panel.
  4. Open Plugins > Yoco Payment Gateway > Settings.
  5. Enter the API keys.
  6. Choose ‘Save Settings’.

Step 4: Do a test transaction to make sure you’re all set​

Although not required, we recommend that you test that the integration is working smoothly end-to-end by processing a small amount for payment – no less than R2.00 (ZAR). This gives you peace of mind that everything is running as expected.

Notifications​

When customer transactions are successfully completed, you and your customers will each receive payment confirmation emails. All payments information can be viewed on your Yoco Portal under Sales and Refunds > History. Find out more here.
