In the case of a recent, simple and up-to-date installation of WooCommerce, this is the fourth tab from the left.
Disable check payment method on WooCommerce
Now that you are on the configurations page for the main WooCommerce payment methods, scroll down the page.
If, however, payment by check is activated, you will see it with the button activated on background color with the round icon on the right.
In this case, to disable the WooCommerce check payment method, click on this button so that the round icon moves to the left on a gray background. Don’t forget to save your action via the “Save Changes” button at the bottom left of the screen.
Of course, if the idea is to activate a payment method such as checks to, for example, offer a greater variety of payment methods to your prospects/customers, it will be necessary click to activate the payment method. Same here: Don’t forget to save your action via the “Save changes” button at the bottom left of the screen . Yes the operation was quick, but let’s not forget the basics: Record your actions.
Test the correct deactivation of your payment method on the front end
After such a change on your WooCommerce settings, do not hesitate to make sure that everything is ok and as you want the front end. Even if your modifications are effective at once on the front end.
Think for example of:
- Clear your online store cache if you have one.
- Simulate an order taking up to the choice of payment method to verify that payment by check is indeed deactivated.
This will ensure that your modification is effective front-end on your WooCommerce e-store and will prevent you from having any potential surprises by seeing, for example, orders arriving with this payment method in the meantime.
Testing and ensuring that a change is taken into account on an extension like WooCommerce is widely recommended. Even if it is much less practiced in the field. However, it can clearly avoid disappointments. A wise user is worth two 😉
