Cart Validation For User Credit Balance

Overview

In this tutorial we will take a look at the Cart Validation settings in the FastCredit Pro plugin. Cart validation is a crucial feature that helps you regulate when your customers can make credit purchases using the WooCommerce credit system. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll understand how to enable or disable cart validation and what happens in each scenario.

Part 1: Navigating to Credit Gateway Settings

In this section, we’ll show you how to navigate to the credit gateway settings, where you can find the option to enable or disable cart validation.

Steps

1. Log into your WordPress admin dashboard.
2. Navigate to ‘WooCommerce’ and then select ‘Settings.’
3. Click on the ‘Payments’ tab to access payment gateway settings.
4. Look for the ‘FastCredit Pro’ option and click on ‘Manage’ or the corresponding link to open credit gateway settings.

Part 2: Enabling Cart Validation

In this part, we’ll explore what happens when you enable the cart validation feature, from avoiding adding products to the cart to directing the user to buy more credits if necessary.

Steps

1. Within the FastCredit Pro settings, locate the ‘Enable Cart Validation’ checkbox.
2. Check the box to enable cart validation.
3. Save the settings.

Result: When cart validation is enabled, users won’t be able to add products to their cart if they don’t have enough credits. They will receive an “Insufficient credits” notice and a prompt to top up their credit balance.

Part 3: Disabling Cart Validation

Here, we’ll look at what occurs when the cart validation feature is disabled. This could be useful in certain scenarios based on your website’s unique requirements.

Steps

1. Navigate back to the ‘Cart Validation’ section within the FastCredit Pro settings.
2. Uncheck the ‘Enable Cart Validation’ checkbox.
3. Save the settings.

Result: With cart validation disabled, users can add products to their cart regardless of their current credit balance. However, they will still be unable to complete the checkout process without sufficient credits.

Conclusion

Cart validation in FastCredit Pro is a versatile feature that can be customized to fit your needs. Generally, enabling cart validation is recommended to prevent users from reaching the checkout stage without sufficient credits. However, if you have specific workflows or custom integrations that require users to proceed without enough credits, disabling the feature is also an option.
