The Montonio for WooCommerce plugin integrates Montonio's payment and shipping options into your WooCommerce store. Before testing, you'll need to install the plugin. Follow the steps below to get started.
1. Installing and updating Montonio for WooCommerce
To install the Montonio for WooCommerce plugin, follow the steps here: Installing and Updating Montonio for WooCommerce.
2. Connecting Montonio account
For testing, you'll need Sandbox API keys from the Partner System. Once the plugin is installed in your WooCommerce store, connecting your Montonio account is quick:
In your WordPress admin panel, go to WooCommerce → Settings → Payments (or Montonio Shipping).
If you're setting up payments, click the relevant Montonio payment option (e.g. Montonio Bank Payments) and select Set up or Manage.
On the right side, click Main settings, then click Connect your Montonio account.
Review the details and click Connect store.
Full instructions: How to Connect Your Montonio Account to WooCommerce.
If the button doesn't work, follow these steps to get your Sandbox API keys: How do I find API keys for Sandbox payments.
3. Test mode
Once the plugin is installed and your account is connected, you can try out our solution in test mode. While test mode is on, no real payments are processed and no real shipments are created.
Test mode is enabled in the Main settings field — simply toggle Test mode on. Once enabled, you'll see a yellow banner confirming test mode is active.
4. Enabling payment methods
Choose what payment methods you want to test and tick the boxes near each payment method.
Make sure that you have enabled the payment method by ticking the box near Enable/Disable.
Don't forget to save the changes.
Test Montonio payment methods in your store
Once everything is set up, add a product to your cart and go to checkout. Choose a payment method and click Complete order (or Place order).
After completing a test order, it will appear in the Partner System under the Orders tab. To see test orders there, make sure test mode is also toggled on in the top-right corner.

If you want to start using our shipping module, you can test it in a sandbox environment in WooCommerce:
Make sure shipping is enabled by ticking the box next to Enable/Disable.
Configure all settings based on your preferences.
Save your changes.
Turn on carriers in the Partner System
Depending on which carriers you want to use or try out, you'll need to activate them in the Partner System. Before activating carriers for testing, make sure Test mode is turned on in the Partner System (top right corner).
Go to Home in the left-hand menu, then choose your store from the drop-down menu.
After selecting the store profile, go to the Carriers tab in the left-hand menu.
You'll see a list of carriers — click Get started on the one you want to connect.
No need to use real credentials — you can enter anything in the activation forms while in test mode.
Add Shipping methods to your store
Once the shipping services are activated in the Partner System and the shipping service is connected in WooCommerce, you need to set up shipping zones for the countries you want to ship to and add Montonio shipping methods to those zones. This will make the shipping options appear in your store’s checkout.
If you’re using Montonio shipping contracts, you can set up the zones automatically by clicking the Setup routes button in the Montonio Shipping settings.
If you are not using Montonio shipping contracts or prefer to do this manually, please follow this guide: Adding shipping methods to your checkout for WooCommerce.
Test Montonio shipping methods in your store
Same as with testing payments: add a product to your cart and go to checkout. Choose a payment method, then a shipping method, and click Complete order (or Place order). After the order is placed, it will create a shipping label for your test order.
If your account is already active
To view test order/shipment information in the Montonio Partner system, make sure Test Mode is enabled. Simply toggle the Test Mode button to turn it on. When the yellow bar appears at the top of the page, you’ll know that you’re in Test Mode.
To review real order information, simply switch off the Test mode button.
How to start accepting real payments?
Once your account has been activated in the Montonio Partner System, you can start accepting real payments. Make sure that Test Mode is disabled in the WooCommerce Montonio plugin’s Main settings and that your Live API keys have been added.
