WooCommerce

This page will get you started accepting payments with Ziina on your WooCommerce website.

Check if you have WooCommerce or WordPress

Open your store website, and check the side bar. If WooCommerce appears as shown in the screenshot below, continue following the steps in this guide. If it doesn't, navigate to this guide and follow the steps.

Creating a Ziina Account and Getting your API key

Click on this link, select WooCommerce and enter your phone number, OTP and email. You will immediately get access to your API key. This is the only time you’ll see it, so make sure you store it somewhere safe.
