Plugin not supported

The WeGetFinancing BigCommerce plugin is no longer supported. This documentation is kept for reference only. For active integrations, use the Shopify plugin or the API integration.

WeGetFinancing offers two BigCommerce integrations: a checkout payment method and the PPE widget (estimates shown in the storefront before checkout).

---

Checkout Payment Method

The checkout plugin redirects customers to the WeGetFinancing financing flow when they select WeGetFinancing as their payment method.

How It Works

A JavaScript snippet is added to the checkout page that detects when the WeGetFinancing payment method name is selected and redirects to the WeGetFinancing loan form. Because this relies on name detection, avoid renaming the payment method.

Installation

1. Install from the App Marketplace

   Go to Apps → App Marketplace and search for WeGetFinancing Checkout Plugin. Select it and click Install, then confirm access.

2. Create a payment method

   Navigate to Store Settings → Payments → Offline Payment Methods → Bank Deposit.

   • Rename it to WeGetFinancing (the script detects this exact name).
   • Enable it for USA only.
   • Replace the thank-you message with: Thank You For Your Purchase with WeGetFinancing (the word WeGetFinancing must appear in the message).

3. Add the integration script

   Go to Advanced Settings → Web Analytics and paste the following into the script field:

   <script src="https://cdn.wegetfinancing.com/libs/1.0/wegetfinancing-plugin.js"></script>
   <script>
     var merchant_id  = 0;            // Replace with your numeric merchant ID
     var environment  = "production"; // "staging" for the sandbox environment
   
     var pluginOptions = {
       disableFaqLink: false  // set true to hide the WGF logo in the cart page
     };
   
     (new getFinancingPlugin.BigCommercePlugin(merchant_id, environment, {}, pluginOptions)).start();
   </script>

4. Save and test with a sample purchase.

At checkout, WeGetFinancing appears as a payment method. Selecting it redirects the customer to the WeGetFinancing financing flow; after completion they are returned to the store’s confirmation page.

PPE Widget (Purchase Power Estimator)

The PPE widget is installed through the BigCommerce theme editor using the WeGetFinancing Checkout Plugin.

Installation

1. Go to Storefront → Themes → Customize (on your active theme).
2. In the left panel, scroll to the CUSTOM section.
3. Drag the WGF PPE widget to a droppable area of your template.
4. In the left configuration panel that appears, set:
   • Token — your access token from the partner backoffice (Integration → Conversion Boosters).
   • Minimum amount — widget is hidden on products below this price.
   • Any additional display options (branding, custom text, hover).
5. Accept or adjust the default configuration and click Save.

For PPE widget configuration options, see the PPE Widget reference.
