Get started with Yoco for Woo:
Here’s how:
How do I activate Yoco for WooCommerce on my WordPress site?
Step 1: Sign up with Yoco
To receive payments with Yoco, you need a Yoco profile. Please continue to Step 2 if you’re already part of our community.
Step 2: Install Yoco for WooCommerce on your WordPress website
Log into WordPress and go to ‘My Sites > WP Admin’.
Go to ‘Plugins > Add new’.
In the search bar, search for ‘Yoco Payments’.

Step 3: Activate Yoco on your WooCommerce webshop
Find your unique Yoco API keys in your Payment Gateway page in the Sales tab of your Yoco Web App here.
