CabGrid WooCommerce Add-on Setup Guide

CabGrid can operate as a stand-alone solution. It has PayPal built-in to process booking payments. We offer various add-ons that enhance functionality. WooCommerce is not a requirement unless you want to use WooCommerce to process orders or payments. Other add-ons such as the Booking Management add-on or the Stripe add-on provide similar functionality. Read our WooCommerce discussion for more information.

Note: The CabGrid WooCommerce add-on is currently in beta testing. Please contact us for more information.

This add-on allows you to process payments through WooCommerce payment gateways. You’ll need to set up WooCommerce separately to manage payments and orders for your business.

With this add-on, customers can:

1. Use the CabGrid interface to calculate prices and enter booking details as usual.
2. Click a checkout button to add their journey to the WooCommerce cart.
3. Proceed to the WooCommerce checkout page to make a payment.

Setup Steps:

1. Install WooCommerce

• Go to PLUGINS > ADD NEW PLUGIN in your WordPress admin.
• Search for ‘WooCommerce‘.
• Click ‘Install Now‘, then ‘Activate‘.
• Complete the setup wizard if prompted.

1b. Install a Payment Gateway

• Install and configure the payment processing provider of your choice. (e.g. Stripe or WooPayments) Refer to their documentation for configuration instructions.

2. Create a WooCommerce Product

• Go to PRODUCTS > ADD NEW.
• Enter a title (e.g., ‘CabGrid Booking‘ or ‘Taxi Ride‘).
• Add a brief description (e.g., ‘Taxi booking with [your company name]‘).
• Under ‘Product Data’:
  • Select ‘Simple Product‘.
  • Check the ‘Virtual‘ box.
  • Set a low price (e.g. 0.01) to avoid any discount messages showing on the checkout page.
• In the ‘Inventory’ section, set “Sold individually” to “Limit purchases to 1 item per order“.
• Click ‘PUBLISH’.

3. Configure CabGrid

• Install the CabGrid WooCommerce add-on plugin:
  • Upload the unzipped plugin folder to your wp-content/plugins directory on your server via FTP, or;
  • From your WordPress admin go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin
  • Click ‘Choose file’ and browse to the plugin ZIP file on your computer.
  • Click ‘Install Now’ and then click ‘ACTIVATE’
  • (or go to Plugins > Installed Plugins, find ‘CabGrid WooCommerce Integration’  and click ACTIVATE.)
• Go to CabGrid Pro > WooCommerce in your WordPress admin.
• Enter a button label (e.g., ‘Checkout now to complete your booking’).
• Select your newly created product from the ‘Product ID’ dropdown.
• Choose the page with your [cabGridPro] shortcode from the ‘Product Page’ dropdown.
• Click ‘Save Changes’.

4. Test Your Setup

• Make a test booking to check if everything works correctly.
• CabGrid will send notifications to you and the customer as you have configured them.
• You’ll find booking details for individual orders in your WordPress admin under WooCommerce > ORDERS.
• Process bookings according to your business procedures.

Note for CabGrid Pro Booking Management users: Bookings made through WooCommerce will be automatically marked as PAID. Manage these bookings as you normally would.
