Part payment module The plugin provides a module that can be displayed on the product pages to inform your customers that they can pay with part payments in the checkout. It will display the lowest monthly price which they can pay through part payments. To activate the feature, follow these steps: Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > Svea Checkout Check the box Display product part payment module Select where on the page you want to display the module View the part payment module on the product page for eligible products. If the module is not displayed it might be due to the price since part payment plans often require a minimum amount. There’s also a shortcode available to display the part payment module on a product page. Add the shortcode [svea_checkout_part_payment_module] to the product page you want to use it on. Or call do_shortcode() through a template file. Support For support, please check the support forum to see if your question has already been answered.
