WooCommerce payment plugin for Riverty and Buy Now Pay Later

Introduction

This guide describes the steps to quickly install, configure, test and activate the Riverty payment methods in your WooCommerce store.

We offer 5 different payment options:

• 14-day invoice - This is the default 14-day invoice payment method in Riverty. It is always available in every market where Riverty operates. It is primarily meant for business-to-consumer sales.
• Direct Debit - This is a Direct Debit version of the 14-day invoice payment method Instead of receiving an invoice to be paid via their bank, the customer enters their bank details, and the money is immediately deducted from their bank account.
• Fixed instalments - This is a Part Payment invoice. The customer can split their purchase over multiple monthly fixed payments.
• Flex payment - This is a flexible instalment plan. Shoppers can alter the amount they are willing to pay every month in Riverty’s customer portal. However, consumers are obliged to pay a monthly minimum as defined by Riverty.
• B2B invoice - This is the B2B consumer version of the default 14-day invoice payment method in Riverty.

The payment methods that are available via this plugin can be found in this table:

Setup

This document assumes you already have a working, configured WordPress site, with the WooCommerce extension installed. If you don't, you can download the software and learn how to use it here.

Many web hosting services have a backend tool that lets you install popular software packages with just a few clicks, and WordPress is often included in those.

In this chapter we will explain how you can install and configure Riverty for your webshop.

Installation

You can install the Riverty plugin via the WordPress Marketplace, by searching from your Plugins tab in the WordPress Admin, or here.
After installing the plugin, make sure to activate it.

Upgrade the plugin

If you have installed the plugin via the WordPress Marketplace, it should update automatically.

Basic settings

Each combination of a country (Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, etc.) and Riverty payment method (14-day invoice, Direct Debit, Part Payment) is a separate payment method under the Payments settings. In some countries, there are also separate B2B payment methods for business-to-business (as opposed to business-to-consumer) sales - this accounts for different tax handling, etc.

You can have more than one payment method enabled in each country.

To configure your payment methods:

1) Open the WordPress Admin Panel.
2) In the left-hand menu, go to WooCommerce > Settings, then select the Payments tab.
3) Flip the Enabled switch for a payment method to enable that combination. (Country and Riverty payment method)
4) Click Manage/Set up next to a payment method to open its configuration screen.

Tax settings

Riverty assumes that your WooCommerce webshop already has the correct tax classes - the VAT categories and tax rates for your products. In some countries, certain items such as books, food, event tickets, etc. may have VAT rates that are smaller than usual, or even zero. These rules must be configured to ensure that Riverty handles tax, invoicing and settlement correctly.
See WooCommerce's own documentation for help.
