Woocommerce

The WooCommerce 8Pay Payment Gateway plugin allows merchants to receive crypto payments on their stores.

Ensure Compatibility with WooCommerce 8.3+

As of WooCommerce version 8.3, the default checkout experience has shifted from classic shortcodes to a new block-based checkout. To continue using the plugin , you must switch the checkout back to the classic shortcode.

Leaving the default block-based checkout experience will result in a payment method not being detected it will result in the checkout page displaying an error message stating, “There are no payment methods available.”

We will provide three methods to ensure that you are utilizing the Classic Cart and Checkout.

First Method

From your wordpress admin page go to Pages -> All Pages, and then locate and edit the Cart/Checkout page.

1. Click to the Document Overview

2. Click on Checkout under the List View

3. Click on Checkout Totals

4. Click on Switch to classic Checkout

Please refer to the attached screenshot for a comprehensive overview of all the steps involved.

Second Method

Please refer to the WooCommerce documentation section titled Reverting to the Classic Cart and Checkout

1. If using a block theme: Go to Appearance -> Editor -> Pages -> Select Cart or Checkout -> click the Edit icon localIf using a non-block theme: Go to Pages -> All Pages, and then locate and edit the Cart/Checkout page.

2. Open the List View and select the Cart or Checkout block.

3. Click the “Transform” button, which is leftmost in the block toolbar

4. Choose “Classic Shortcode”.

5. The block will be transformed into a Classic Shortcode placeholder block.

6. Save your changes by clicking the Save button in the top bar.

Third Method

The following youtube video shows how to manually switch the checkout to the short-code version
