Step 1: Install the plugin 

Download the latest version of the Sendcloud/WooCommerce plugin which contains our Checkout feature here. 

 

Q: Can I test the new Checkout product without it appearing in my live shop environment? Yes! You can create a subdomain in your shop, or use another domain as a test environment. Be sure to install the Sendcloud plugin 2.0 and to connect the test shop in your Sendcloud account by following this installation guide. 

 

Follow the steps below to install the plugin:

  3. Select Choose file
  4. Navigate to where the downloaded file sendcloud-shipping_2.0.0.zip is located on your computer
  5. Select the file and click Open
  6. Once you've uploaded the .zip file, select Install Now
  7. If you see the message This plugin is already installed click the button Replace current with uploaded
  8. When the plugin is successfully installed, it will appear under the Installed Plugins menu

Please ensure that, once you’ve followed the steps above, the plugin appears in your directory as version 2.0.0 as shown below:
