  1. You can do this by going to Plugins > Add New then search for “Crypto.com Pay Checkout for WooCommerce” and then click Install Now.

  5. Click the Add Webhook button and then paste the Webhook Url copied into Payload URL, then a signature secret for webhook is generated.

Note: Please make sure to choose the correct Environment in the form, based on whether you are testing or not, and please make sure you input the keys and secrets correctly as they are different between testing mode and live mode.
