Explanation:
If you're migrating from Shopify to WooCommerce, you'll need to set up Afterpay on your new WooCommerce store. Since Afterpay integration works differently on each platform, you’ll need to remove Afterpay from Shopify and install it correctly on WooCommerce. This guide walks you through the transition process.
1. Disconnecting Afterpay from Shopify
Before setting up Afterpay on WooCommerce, you should remove it from your Shopify store.
Action:
- Log in to your Shopify Admin Dashboard.
- Navigate to Settings > Payments.
- Under the Alternative Payment Methods section, locate Afterpay.
- Click Deactivate Afterpay and confirm the removal.
After completing these steps, Afterpay will no longer be available on your Shopify store.
2. Setting Up Afterpay on WooCommerce
Now that you’ve removed Afterpay from Shopify, you’ll need to install and configure it for WooCommerce.
Action:
- Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.
- Navigate to Plugins > Add New and search for Afterpay Gateway for WooCommerce.
- Click Install Now and then Activate the plugin.
- Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Payments and enable Afterpay.
- Enter your Afterpay API credentials (Merchant ID and Secret Key).
- Configure on-site messaging to display Afterpay’s payment option on product and checkout pages.
- Save your settings and complete a test transaction to ensure Afterpay is properly integrated.
3. Additional Considerations
- If you’re migrating existing orders from Shopify to WooCommerce, note that Afterpay transactions cannot be transferred between platforms. Any active Afterpay orders on Shopify will still be managed through your Afterpay merchant portal.
- Ensure that your WooCommerce theme supports Afterpay messaging, or manually add the Afterpay logo to your product and checkout pages.
- Verify that your new store’s currency settings match Afterpay’s supported currencies.
Important Notes:
- Afterpay does not allow duplicate integrations for the same business. Make sure you’ve disconnected it from Shopify before setting it up on WooCommerce.
- Some WooCommerce themes may require additional customization to display Afterpay correctly.
