This plugin will allow you to generate a payment Reference the customer can use to pay for his WooCommerce order in Kwanzas, through an ATM or Home Banking service. With the PRO add-on, your customers can also pay for orders with their mobile phone number using Multicaixa Express. This plugin works with the [ProxyPay](https://proxypay.co.ao/) gateway, and a contract with an Angolan bank and [TimeBoxed](http://timeboxed.co.ao/) (the company behind ProxyPay) is required. Technical support is provided by [Naked Cat Plugins](https://nakedcatplugins.com). #### Features: * Generates a Multicaixa Reference for simple payment on the Angolan ATM network or Home Banking service; * 24 hours reference validity; * Compatible with High-Performance Order Storage for WooCommerce * Compatible with WooCommerce Blocks checkout * WPML tested and compatible (for multilingual shops); * Polylang tested; #### PRO add-on features: * NEW: Multicaixa Express mobile payment: - Accept mobile payments with MCX Express, with the customer’s mobile phone number; - Both for the classic and blocks checkout; * Multicaixa Reference payment: - Automatic Webhook call can be activated upon request to ProxyPay, via the plugin settings screen; - Configuration of reference validity in hours, days, weeks, or months; - Ability to reduce stock when the order is created or paid; - Automatically update the payment reference, and notify the client, if the order total is changed on a backend order modification; - Allows searching orders (in the admin area) by Multicaixa Reference; - Automatic cancellation of orders with expired references; - Integration with ProxyPay’s SMS system; * For both payment methods: - Automatically changes the order status to “Processing” (or “Completed” if the order only contains virtual downloadable products) and notifies both the customer and the store owner; - Shop owner can set minimum and maximum order totals for the payment gateway to be available; - Payment method can be deactivated if the client doesn’t have an Angolan address; - ProxyPay Sandbox support; [Know more and get the plugin PRO add-on now](https://nakedcatplugins.com/product/payment-multicaixa-proxypay-gateway-for-woocommerce-pro-add-on/). #### Other (premium) plugins Do you already know our other WooCommerce (premium) plugins? * [Advanced Coupon Restrictions for WooCommerce](https://nakedcatplugins.com/product/advanced-coupon-restrictions-for-woocommerce/)– Create coupons for any Product Taxonomy, User details, and Order destination. * [Simple Checkout Fields Manager for WooCommerce](https://nakedcatplugins.com/product/simple-custom-fields-for-woocommerce-blocks-checkout/)– Add custom fields and manage (remove, make required or optional) core fields on the new WooCommerce Block-based Checkout * [Simple WooCommerce Order Approval](https://nakedcatplugins.com/product/simple-woocommerce-order-approval/)– The hassle-free solution for WooCommerce order approval before payment * [Shop as Client for WooCommerce](https://nakedcatplugins.com/product/shop-as-client-for-woocommerce-pro-add-on/)– Quickly create orders on behalf of your customers * [Taxonomy/Term and Role based Discounts for WooCommerce](https://nakedcatplugins.com/product/taxonomy-term-and-role-based-discounts-for-woocommerce-pro-add-on/)– Easily create bulk discount rules for products based on any taxonomy terms (built- in or custom) ## Installation * Use the included automatic install feature on your WordPress admin panel and search for “Multicaixa WooCommerce ProxyPay”. * Go to WooCoomerce > Settings > Payments > Pagamento por Referência no Multicaixa and fill in the details provided by ProxyPay and your bank to activate this payment method.

You have to sign a contract with ProxyPay and an Angolan bank to activate this service. Go to [https://proxypay.co.ao/](https://proxypay.co.ao/) for more information. They can help you out with all the subscription process with them and the bank. ### Can I get Multicaixa Express mobile payments? Yes, with the [PRO add-on](https://nakedcatplugins.com/product/payment-multicaixa-proxypay-gateway-for-woocommerce-pro-add-on/) ### [WPML] My website is multilingual. Will I be able to use this plugin? Yes. This plugin is WPML compatible. You will need the WPML and WPML String Translation Plugins (alongside WooCommerce Multilingual, which is mandatory for any WooCommerce + WPML install). ### [WPML] How can I translate the payment method title and description the client sees in the checkout page to secondary languages? Go to WPML > String Translation > Search and translate the `multicaixa_proxypay_gateway_title` and `multicaixa_proxypay_gateway_description`, strings in the `woocommerce` domain. Don’t forget to check the “Translation is complete” checkbox and click “Save”. You should also translate the “Extra instructions” strings by searching the `multicaixa_proxypay_extra_instructions` string on the `woo_multicaixa`. ### [SMS] How to include the Multicaixa payment instructions in the SMS sent by “WooCommerce – APG SMS Notifications”, “Twilio SMS Notifications” or “YITH WooCommerce SMS Notification”? You’ll need the [plugin PRO add-on](https://nakedcatplugins.com/product/payment-multicaixa-proxypay-gateway-for-woocommerce-pro-add-on/). ### [SMS] How to trigger the ProxyPay SMS system? You’ll need the [plugin PRO add-on](https://nakedcatplugins.com/product/payment-multicaixa-proxypay-gateway-for-woocommerce-pro-add-on/). ### [Advanced] The order is set “On Hold”, can I make it “Pending” by default? I don’t know why on earth you would want to do this, but… yes, you can. Just return` false` to the `multicaixa_proxypay_set_on_hold` filter. Be advised that no “new order” email, with payment instructions, will be sent to the client unless you use some plugin or custom code to force it. ### [Advanced] Can I prevent the plugin from adding the payment instructions and/or the payment received message to emails? You can use the `multicaixa_proxypay_email_instructions_pending_send` filter: return false and the payment instructions won’t be included in the “new order” email – we do not recommend you do it, though. You can use the `multicaixa_proxypay_email_instructions_payment_received_send` filter: return false and the payment received message won’t be included in the “ processing” email. ### [Advanced] How can I use the plugin with the ProxyPay sandbox, for tests? You should return true to the `multicaixa_proxypay_test_mode` filter, or use the [plugin PRO add-on](https://nakedcatplugins.com/product/payment-multicaixa-proxypay-gateway-for-woocommerce-pro-add-on/) to activate the test mode with a simple checkbox. ### Can I contribute with a translation? Sure. Go to [GlotPress](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/woo-multicaixa) and help us out. ### I need technical support. Who should I contact, ProxyPay or Naked Cat Plugins (by Webdados)? Development and (premium) support is provided by [Naked Cat Plugins (by Webdados)](https://nakedcatplugins.com/).
