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. Sandbox API Keys

For testing purposes, you will need Sandbox API keys from the Partner System. Follow the steps here to get your Sandbox API keys: How do I find API keys for Sandbox payments

  3. Go to API settings - paste your store's sandbox API keys and save the changes (as displayed in the picture below).

4. Enabling payment methods and test mode

Once you have installed the plugin and entered your Sandbox API keys, you can enable test mode for each payment method you want to test.

  1. Choose what payment methods you want to test and tick the boxes near each payment method.

  2. Before enabling the test mode, make sure that you have enabled the payment method by ticking the box near Enable/Disable.

Test Montonio payment methods in your store

After completing all the steps, you can test our payment methods on your website, by adding a product to your cart and going to checkout. Choose one of the payment methods and click “Complete or place order”.

After completing the test order, it must appear in the Partner system in the "Orders" tab.

If you want to start using our shipping module, you can also test it in a sandbox environment.
