On the configuration page, you’ll find several options to adjust:
- Enable/Disable: Check this box to enable Kora on your store’s checkout page.
- Title: This title appears on the payment options during checkout (default: “Kora”).
- Description: Add a custom description under the payment fields, guiding customers on the available payment methods.
- Test Mode: Toggle this to enable test mode, allowing you to use Kora’s test API keys for payment simulation.
- Payment Page Type: Choose whether the customer stays on your site (Popup) or gets redirected for payment (Redirect).

- Additional Settings: Optional settings such as adding custom metadata for transactions or configuring the Webhook URL for seamless order status updates.
-
After configuring your settings, click Save Changes to apply.
Webhook Setup
To avoid network issues from affecting order updates, we recommend setting up a Webhook URL. This will ensure that your store is notified when payments are completed. You can copy the Webhook URL provided on the settings page and paste it into your Kora dashboard under Settings > API Keys & Webhooks.
Kora supports several African currencies, including Nigerian Naira (NGN), Ghanaian Cedi (GHS), and Kenyan Shilling (KES).
Simply toggle Test Mode in the Kora settings, and use the test API keys provided by Kora to simulate transactions. This allows you to ensure everything works smoothly before accepting real payments.
- A Kora merchant account. Sign up here if you don’t have one.

Please make sure that you’ve enabled Kora in the WooCommerce settings and correctly entered your API keys. Also, ensure that the settings have been saved.
