How Do I Set Up My Shift4Shop Store to Use Bongo Checkout?

Bongo Checkout is an integrated solution that provides retailers access to the billions of dollars spent online by international consumers with no associated risks or difficulties.

We've partnered with Bongo Checkout, which allows Shift4Shop merchants to take advantage of their exciting product.

What is needed:

• A Bongo Checkout account,

• Your Bongo Merchant ID
  -and-

• Your Bongo URL ID.

How it Works

Your International Customer is taken from your Shift4Shop store's View Cart page to your Bongo secure checkout page to place their order.

• A domestic shipping charge from your store location to Bongo's warehouse will be calculated with the current shipping methods used on your store.

• The order will be completed and paid for on Bongo Checkout. Once this happens, Bongo will create an unpaid order on your Shift4Shop store.

• A daily batch of received orders is processed by Bongo, and confirmed orders are moved from the Unpaid status to New in your store. (Canceled orders will be moved from Unpaid to Canceled)

Enable the Plugin

Once you have had your Bongo Checkout account created and have received your account information, log into your Shift4Shop Online Store Manager and use the following steps.

Log into your Shift4Shop Online Store Manager and, using the left navigation menu:

1. Go to Modules.
