FAQ

↑ Back to top

I want to offer payment type [X] to my customers, but I don’t see it in the plugin supported methods. Is payment type [X] supported by the plugin?

↑ Back to top
Yes, the plugin will support all payment types that your iPay88 account supports. In order to support a payment type, you need to have it activated in your iPay88 account. If in any case, the payment type [X] is not available in the “Available Payment Types” setting of the plugin, you can leave the setting empty it will offer the customer to choose their payment method on the iPay88 payment page.

What do I provide to iPay88 before the integration?

↑ Back to top
iPay88 will ask you to provide:
  • Merchant Checklist: filled in with your merchant and integration information.
  • Request URL: the main page of your website, i.e., http://www.example.com/
  • Response URL: send with the payment parameters, so you do not need to provide them with one.

I am trying to do a test payment, but I get redirected to my home page. What should I do?

↑ Back to top
iPay88 accepts test payments with certain requirements. If those requirements are not met, then iPay88 will return you straight to your Response URL page. The requirements are:
  • Total MYR 1.00 ( min PHP 15.00 for iPay88 Philippines ): The total amount of the order should be exactly MYR 1.00
  • Currency MYR ( PHP for iPay88 Philippines ): The currency of the order should be MYRMalaysian ringgit )
  • Testmode: The test mode of the plugin should be turned ON.

I do not want to show the payment types under the iPay88 payment option. How can I hide them?

↑ Back to top
Don’t select a payment type from the “Available Payment Types” setting in the iPay88 plugin settings. This way only the description will be shown under the iPay88 payment option. The payment types are also available on the iPay88 payment page, so they are not mandatory to be present on your WC store checkout page.

I use the Super Store theme and the iPay88 payment options do not appear as they should on the checkout page.

↑ Back to top
You need to add some CSS for the options to appear correctly.
For element .checkout #order_review #payment ul li label img

Change float: right; to float: none;
Add display: inline-block;

Under @media only screen and (min-width: 768px):

For the element .form-row, change width: 48% to width: 100%

.checkout #order_review #payment ul li .payment_box { padding: .8em; }
