Click on the mesh site you wish to configure by selecting it and then click the “Settings” button on the respective site.

5) Set Up Payment Methods (On the Main Site)

After receiving the meshcheckout-paygates.zip file from MeshCheckout upon account registration:

Log in to your main e-commerce website (money site).

Install and activate the plugin on your store from the downloaded zip file. Install it through the menu “Plugins” > “Add New” then choose “Upload File” and press Install button, after that press Active Plugin after uploaded.

Next, go to “WooCommerce” > “Settings” > “Payments.”

Find the payment method “MeshCheckout Paypal” and click “Setup“

Configure the following options:

  • Enable: Turn on/off the payment method.
  • Gateway URL: The URL of the gateway – https://[xxx].meshcheckout.com (replace [xxx] with your domain, and note that there should be no trailing /).
  • Token Secret: The token key of the gateway – you can find this in the gateway’s Dashboard.
  • Group ID: ID of the group you want to use for payments. If you don’t enter a group ID, payments will use any random mesh site available in the system.
  • Paypal Sandbox: Activate this option to use only accounts with a PayPal Mode of “sandbox” for payments. Deactivate it to use live PayPal accounts for payments on live sites.
  • Debug Log: It’s recommended to enable this for system log checking in case of errors. Enabling this option makes it easier to reconcile and troubleshoot issues.
  • Disable Shipping Address: For PayPal payments, you can disable sending shipping information to PayPal. This is useful when you sell digital products, and customers don’t need to input billing and shipping information during checkout.
