Before Getting Started with the WooCommerce Moodle Integration
The following are a few WooCommerce settings you should take care of before getting started with the WooCommerce Moodle Integration for Edwiser Bridge.
1. Disable Guest Checkout
To disable the guest checkout option you will have to navigate to WooCommerce –> Settings –> Accounts & Privacy and uncheck the ‘Allow customers to place orders without an account‘ option.
It is important to uncheck this option as users should not be able to purchase a course without registering to the WordPress site. If users are allowed to checkout without registration to the WordPress website their Moodle account will not be created. This happens because the Moodle account creation is triggered during the registration process of the WordPress account
2. Enable Registration on the Checkout Page
To enable registration at the checkout page, you will have to navigate to WooCommerce –> Settings –> Accounts & Privacy from the back end. Here, under the ‘Account creation’ menu, you will have to check the ‘ Allow customers to create an account during checkout ‘ field provided.
3. Disable Automatic Password Generation
Automatic password generation should be disabled to allow the users to enter their own password. This password will then be used at the time of the Moodle account creation.
To disable the automatic password generation, you will have to navigate to WooCommerce –> Settings –> Accounts &Privacy from the back end. Here under, the ‘Account Creation’ menu, you will have to uncheck the ‘When creating an account automatically generate an account password‘ field provided.
4. Make the Product ‘Virtual’ & ‘Downloadable’
The product (which is essentially a course as a Product) should be made virtual and downloadable.
To configure this setting, you will have to go to the course product page and check the ‘Virtual’ and ‘Downloadable’ fields in the ‘Product Data’ meta box.
