Installation

  1. Install the plugin either by uploading it via FTP or by using the ‘Add Plugin’ function of WordPress.
  2. Activate the plugin at the ‘Plugins’ tab.
  3. Visit http://www.getpaycall.com/ and chose a registration method.
  4. Setup your profile.
  5. Connect your PAYCALL account with your profiles in WordPress under ‘PAYCALL Buttons > Add New’. These profiles can then be used directly in the WYSIWYG-Editor or under ‘Appearance > Widgets’.

If you cannot connect your account, please make sure php5-curl is installed on your server or ask your site’s host to do so.

Unfortunatelly, there is an incompatibility with the SiteOrigin Page Builder plugin – if you need to use that, you can still integrate your Call-Me Button directly into the HTML of your site.

If you are running some kind of marketplace based on wordpress and would like to add HEADSTORE PAYCALL Buttons, contact us at integrations@headstore.com.

2018-12-15 : Installed it, when I go to the settings, it tells me to go to getpaycall.com to sign up, which switches to chatowl.com. I don’t see anything that ressembles a “get an account” link. Is this plugin dead or what?
September 3, 2016
This plugin allows me to monetize my know-how directly with a short signup. People can call me whenever they want and I earn money. Nice!
