Ready? Let’s connect Moneybag to WooCommerce step by step.

Step 1: Create Your Moneybag Merchant Account

1. Go to → https://moneybag.com.bd/join-as-merchant
2. Click “Join as Merchant”
3. Fill in your business details:
   Shop name / company name
4. Owner name & NID
5. Business type (Sole proprietorship / Private Ltd etc.)

3. You will see:
   Store ID (or Merchant ID)
4. API Key
5. API Secret
6. Sandbox credentials (for testing)
7. Copy these securely — you will need them in WooCommerce

Pro tip: Use the Sandbox mode first — test payments with fake cards/bKash without real money.

Step 3: Install & Activate Moneybag WooCommerce Plugin

1. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard
2. Go to → Plugins → Add New
3. Search for “Moneybag Payment Gateway for WooCommerce” (If not found in repository yet, download from Moneybag dashboard → Integrations → WooCommerce → Download plugin ZIP)
4. Upload & activate the ZIP file
5. Go to → WooCommerce → Settings → Payments

Step 4: Configure Moneybag in WooCommerce Settings

1. Find “Moneybag” in the payment methods list
2. Click “Manage” or “Set up”

4. Enter the credentials you copied earlier:
   Merchant ID / Store ID
5. API Key
6. API Secret
7. Choose Environment:
   Sandbox (for testing)
8. Live (when ready)
9. Select payment methods to show:
   bKash
10. Nagad
11. Rocket
12. Upay
13. Visa / Mastercard
14. EMI (if enabled in your account)
15. Set Title customers see at checkout (e.g. “Pay with bKash, Nagad, Cards & EMI”)
16. Set Description (e.g. “Secure payment with fast T+1 settlement”)
17. Enable 3D Secure (highly recommended for cards)
18. Save changes

Step 5: Test Everything in Sandbox Mode

1. Keep Environment = Sandbox
2. Add a test product to cart (any price)
3. Go to checkout
4. Choose Moneybag payment method
5. Use test credentials from Moneybag dashboard (fake card numbers, test bKash OTP etc.)
6. Complete a test purchase → check if order status updates in WooCommerce
7. In Moneybag dashboard → Sandbox transactions → verify the test payment appears

Common test issues & fixes:

• Error 401/403 → wrong API Key/Secret
• No payment methods show → check enabled methods in Moneybag settings

Step 6: Go Live – Switch to Production

1. In Moneybag dashboard → switch to Live credentials if separate
2. In WooCommerce → Payments → Moneybag → change Environment to Live
3. Save
4. Make one small real test purchase (BDT 10–50) using your own card or bKash
5. Confirm money arrives in your Moneybag account (T+1) and order completes in WooCommerce

Step 7: Add Trust Badges & Optimize Checkout

• Show “Powered by Moneybag” or “Secure Payments – bKash, Nagad, Cards” badges on checkout
• Enable guest checkout
• Add clear refund policy link (helps reduce chargebacks)
• Use Moneybag payment links for Facebook/Instagram orders
