Setup and Configuration
Setting up the plugin isn’t as simple as it has been with other WooCommerce plugins. Find below the step-by-step process to install and configure the PayTrace plugin.

Integration Type Settings
Integration Type: To begin with, select the Integration API that would be used. When you land on the Settings page, this one appears at the top and is an important field. Select the right API and save the settings before moving ahead

General Settings

Important note: Only if you select Together in the Payment Forms Display Settings, will you need to fill the Method Title and Description. See “Forms Display Settings” for more information.

  • Enable/Disable: Select the checkbox to activate the plugin and enable the same.

  • Method Title: Add a specific tile. Note that this would be visible to the users.
  • Description: This is the description as viewed by the users.

Credentials Settings

  • PayTrace Password: Make sure you have a strong password set for the validation.

Form Display Settings

The last section is related to form display settings.

Payment Forms Display: Depicts the manner in which the form is shown on the page.

  • Together‘ shows both Card and Check forms in a single payment method, within the method description.
  • Separate‘ will have separate forms displayed as different methods.

  • Card Method Title (separate only): Determines the title of the method displayed during checkout.
  • Card Method Description (separate only): Regulated the card method description as visible to the users at the time of checkout.

  • Check(ACH) Method Title (separate only): Regulates the title of the Check method visible to users at the time of checkout.
  • Check(ACH) Method Description (separate only): Regulates the description of the Check method visible to users at the time of checkout.

Card Payment Settings

Accepted Cards: You can enter the different types of credit cards that will be displayed at the time of payments.

Check Payment Settings

  • Accept eCheck Payments: Allow the store customers to make payments through eChecks.
  • Set “On-Hold” status for orders paid by eCheck: Displays ‘On-Hold’ for orders that are paid by eChecks. However, if you do not select this, orders are referred to as ‘Processing’.

Vault Settings

  • Enable Payment Vault: To save the Payment information for future references. This will keep saving the last 4 digits of the Credit Card, along with the expiration date, and custom-generated user ID. Users will have the ease to check their information by visiting their ‘My Account’ Page from the dashboard.
  • Require CVC when paying with saved cards: Allow users to enter their CVC number to complete the payment.
  • Save Your Payment Method Text: Display a message on the screen asking customers to save their card information.

Transaction Settings

  • Transaction Type: The transaction type shows whether it is sales or authorization.
  • Send Order Description with Transaction: Selecting this would dispatch the order details to the PayTrace portal.

Client-side encryption:

Enabling client-side encryption means that the card data is encrypted at the client’s end. PayTrace JavaScript Encryption Library is used for the same. What’s important to note here is that the data once encrypted can only be read by PayTrace. None but the PayTrace portal can decrypt the information in a way reducing exposure to PCI compliance.

Note that data encryption is specifically meant for credit or debit card information. In order to set up the feature, do the following:

  • Visit the Paytrace Dashboard and enter your login credentials to validate the same.
  • Next move to the “Integration > Download Public Key“ to get access to the public key.

  • Next, go to WooCommerce, Settings, and then click on Payment (Checkout for WC < 3.4). Here select PayTrace.
    1. Click on plugin settings and then select “Use Client-Side Encryption” setting
