Affordability Widget
Displays Bank Installment Plans directly on the Product and Cart pages. Shoppers can pick a plan upfront, and it carries through automatically to Paymob's checkout, so they don't have to choose again.
Currently available for Egypt only.
Bank Installment Configuration
A new "Affordability Widget" section has been added under the plugin's Settings. Toggle Enable widget to turn it on, then set the Bank Installment Integration ID; it's auto-populated if only one exists, or select one manually if multiple exist.
Only Bank Installment Integration IDs enabled under the Payment Integrations section will appear in this dropdown.
Optional Settings
Minimum product amount | Hides the widget on the Product Page when the product price is below a defined amount (EGP). |
Minimum cart amount | Hides the widget on the Cart Page when the cart subtotal is below a defined amount (EGP). |
Theme | Merchant can optionally select a visual theme for the widget: Primary (branded, prominent), Light (subtle, neutral), or Dark (dark-mode storefronts). A live preview is shown before saving. |
Since installment plans typically require a minimum order value of EGP 1,000, merchants should configure the minimum amount thresholds accordingly. Once saved, the widget renders on both the Product Page and Cart Page.
Customer Flow
1
Customer selects a plan on the widget and clicks Buy Now.
2
Customer is redirected to the WooCommerce Checkout page, with the Bank Installment Integration option pre-selected.
3
Upon proceeding, the customer is redirected to Paymob Checkout, with the previously selected plan already passed.
4
The customer only needs to enter card details to complete the payment.
