WP Travel allows you to process real transactions by enabling Live Mode for your payment gateway. By default, Test Mode is enabled to help you safely test the payment process without processing actual payments. Before switching to Live Mode, make sure your payment gateway account is fully activated and that you have obtained the required live API credentials from your payment provider.
Disable Test Mode
To start accepting real payments, you first need to disable Test Mode in WP Travel.
- Go to WP Admin β WP Travel β Settings β Advanced β Debug.
- Under Test Payment, disable Test Mode.
- Click Save Settings.
Configure Your Payment Gateway
After disabling Test Mode, configure your payment gateway with your live credentials.
- Navigate to WP Travel β Settings β Payment β Payment Gateways.
- Open the settings for your preferred payment gateway (Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, etc.).
- Enter your Live API Keys/Credentials.
- Save the changes.
