    This solution allows you to purchase products with recurring charges (e.g. subscriptions).

    Subsequent payments will be made automatically on the date set in the subscription product settings.

    To use this mode you need to install the Woocommerce Subscription plugin.

    Pay-By-Link

    This solution involves generating a Woocommerce side order, selecting the appropriate products and the customer who wants to make the purchase.

    An email will be sent to the customer containing a link to make the payment. The customer will be redirected to the checkout page of the E-commerce site.

    Back office functions

    In the details of each order, the plugin provides information relating to transactions such as the details of the card used and the status of payments on the XPay gateway.

    2. In the left navigation bar, select Plugins > Installed plugins.
    3. On the new page look for the Nexi XPay plugin in the list and click on Settings.
