Notes
We
strongly recommend that you copy the generated Webhook URL on the Woocommerce Settings page and paste it into the Webhook input field on your VPay dashboard under
Settings > Webhooks tab. This way, whenever a transaction is complete on your store, we'll send a notification to the Webhook URL, which will update the order and mark it as paid. Just copy the URL and save it as your webhook URL on your VPay dashboard under
Settings > Webhooks tab.
If you do not find VPay on the Payment method options, please go through the settings again and ensure that:
- You've checked the "Enable/Disable" checkbox
- You've entered your API Keys in the appropriate field
- You've clicked on Save Changes during setup
