This process may put your site at risk if you install a WordPress plugin incompatible with the current version or from an unreliable source. Back up your site completely before proceeding.

1. If your plugin is in the form of a zip file, unzip the contents. You should see a single folder named after the plugin.

2. Look in the plugin folder for a readme.txt file. Read the file to confirm that this is the correct plugin, and to look for any special instructions.

3. Connect to your WordPress server with your SFTP client.

4. Copy the plugin folder to the wp-content/plugins folder in your WordPress directory. This installs the plugin to your WordPress site.

5. Navigate to your Plugins admin screen and locate the newly uploaded plugin in the list.

6. Click the plugin’s “Activate” link.

7. If there is one, click the plugin’s “View details” link to learn more about the plugin.

1. Go to Appearance -> Widgets.

   

2. Click + sign and click on Short code.

   

3. Copy and paste the following shortcode:

   [credova-button amount=“300”]

   

The amount can be adjusted to a minimum of $50 and maximum of $5000. The widget will appear with the As low as amount based on the amount entered in the short code as seen below:

If a cart contains items where any of the products is disabled, the cart will not show Credova as a payment option.

It is recommended if Credova disabled in the cart then it should disable at PDP/PLP as well.

It is recommended to enable auto updates of the Credova plugin to ensure you are using the most up to date, secure application on your website.
