This page walks you through installing and configuring Hello Clever on a WooCommerce store. You will install the plugin from the WordPress plugin directory, connect it with your Merchant Dashboard credentials, and optionally enable express checkout or one-click checkout to reduce friction at the point of purchase.

​
Requirements

Hello Clever is currently available for WooCommerce merchants with store addresses in Australia. Only AUD (Australian Dollars) is supported at this time.
Before installing the plugin, verify that your environment meets the following requirements:
  • WordPress: version 4.4 or greater. You can find your WordPress version in the bottom-right corner of the WordPress Admin Dashboard.
  • WooCommerce: version 2.6 or greater. Navigate to WordPress Admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins to check the installed version.
  • Store currency: set to AUD. You can configure this in WooCommerce > Settings > General.

One-click checkout

Hello Clever’s One-Click Checkout takes the express checkout experience further by letting customers complete a purchase in a single click, with no additional forms to fill out. This leads to:
  • Fewer steps and reduced cart abandonment
  • A faster, more seamless purchasing experience
  • Higher repeat purchase rates
One-Click Checkout is currently available for selected merchants only. Contact Hello Clever Support to request access for your store.
The installation steps for One-Click Checkout are identical to those for Express Checkout. Follow the Enable express checkout section above to set it up. Once Hello Clever Support enables the feature on your account, the one-click flow will be active automatically.
