Pay with Code

“Pay with Code” is a specialized WooCommerce plugin designed to offer an alternative payment method through the use of unique, pre-generated codes. This method is ideal for scenarios where direct monetary transactions are not possible or preferred. The plugin works by allowing store administrators to generate and distribute purchase codes that customers can use at checkout. These codes can be set to expire, be used once, or deactivated as needed, providing a flexible and secure payment solution. The plugin also includes features for managing codes, viewing logs, and handling code-related events, such as deactivation and usage tracking.

How do I generate codes?

Admins can generate codes through the ‘Generate Codes’ submenu in the plugin’s settings. Codes can have set expiration dates and are managed from the admin panel.

What happens if a code is used or expired?

The plugin provides feedback at checkout if a code has been used, is expired, or is deactivated, preventing the transaction until a valid code is entered.

Is the plugin secure?

Yes, the plugin uses WordPress robust verification to prevent unauthorized access and ensure data integrity.

Is there a limit to the number of codes I can generate?

There is no inherent limit imposed by the plugin on the number of codes you can generate. However, practical limits may depend on your server’s performance and database capabilities. Admins can generate codes as needed, based on the operational scope and capacity of their WooCommerce setup.

Can I set an expiration date for generated codes?

Yes, when generating codes via the admin panel, you can specify an expiration date for each code. This ensures that codes are only valid within a predetermined time frame, enhancing security and managing promotions or special offers effectively.

What happens to the stock levels when a purchase code is used?

Upon successful verification and use of a purchase code, the plugin automatically reduces the stock levels of the purchased items. This integration ensures that inventory levels are accurately maintained within the WooCommerce system, preventing overselling and managing supplies efficiently.
