Pay for Submissions With WooCommerce

Before you Start:

First: Make sure that you have BuddyForms, WooCommerce, and BuddyForms Pay For Submissions Plug-ins installed on your web.

Second: If you don´t know how to install a plug-in from a ZIP file, go Here

Third: Make sure that you have at least one product created for the Pay for Submissions metabox to be displayed.

Fourth: The form you want to use must be published and not in a drafted state

Fifth:  Verify you have the WooCommerce plug-in settings completed, especially the Payments and the Advanced settings.
