The main Checkouts Settings page has many different settings panels that house all the main settings for OptimizeCheckouts. In this article we'll just cover the basics. Some of these panels have their own guides which we are linking to below as well.
The first thing you'll see when going to "Checkouts" and then "Settings" is the Payment Gateways Screen.
You can connect or disconnect all of the Payment Gateway options we provide from this screen. At the time of writing this article, we currently offer the following integrations:
Stripe integrations for Google and Apple Pay
Business Information - This is where you can edit your business details such as business name, address, country, currency, and logo.
This is where you can setup the EU VAT tax settings if you run your business from an EU location. You can add your VAT id, and choose the options for how you would like to collect the VAT Tax.
Checkouts Emails - This is where you can turn on/off system emails, and edit the email templates.
Currently the only setting here is to change the language of the Stripe credit card field.
Amazon S3 Integration - Settings for the Amazon S3 (AWS) integration which works with the checkouts "included files" area.
This is the settings for changing words to match your language or preferred replacement words.
There are many more options than you can see in this screenshot
Where do I set the default country for the checkout form?
You can not set the default country. The country that populates on the checkout form is automatically detected via IP Geolocation.
How do I collect taxes in countries other than the EU or the UK?
At the moment, the checkouts plugin does not offer sales tax collection outside of the EU and UK, though we are planning to add this ability in the Checkouts 2.0 plugin.
If there are other features added to Checkouts in the future that require a settings screen, we'll update this guide.
