How It Works

The Checkbook integration with WooCommerce is usually achieved through a dedicated payment gateway plugin:

1. Configuration: You configure the plugin within your WooCommerce settings by entering your Checkbook API keys (both publishable and secret keys).

2. Checkout Integration: Once configured, Checkbook will appear as a payment option on your WooCommerce checkout page.

3. Customer Payment: When a customer selects Checkbook as their payment method, they will typically be guided through a secure process to provide their payment details (e.g., bank account information). This step will involve an embedded form or redirection to a secure Checkbook page.

4. Payment Processing: Checkbook securely processes the payment.

5. Order Status Updates: The plugin communicates with Checkbook to update the corresponding WooCommerce order status based on the payment outcome (e.g., unpaid, in process, paid, failed).

6. Funds Disbursement: Funds from successful transactions are processed and disbursed according to your Checkbook account settings.
