Setting Up Paystack Payment Method in WordPress
To begin accepting payments in WordPress via Paystack, go to ProfilePress > Addons in your WordPress dashboard and activate the Paystack addon.
Next, go to ProfilePress > Settings > Payments >> Payment Methods and click the Configure button for Paystack.

ProfilePress requires your Paystack API keys and webhook setup in Paystack to start accepting payments in WordPress.
Finding Your API Keys
Log into your Paystack dashboard.
From the left menu, select Settings > API Keys & Webhooks.
 
Copy and paste your Live Public Key and Secret Key or the Test Public Key and Secret Key (depending on whether you have test mode enabled in ProfilePress) into the appropriate Paystack settings in ProfilePress.
Webhooks
Webhooks are how ProfilePress communicates with Paystack. Follow the guide below to add the appropriate webhook endpoints to your Paystack application.
On the API Keys & Webhooks settings page in Paystack, enter your website webhook URL. You can get and copy the Webhook URL from the Webhook Setup section of the ProfilePress Paystack settings page, which is usually https://example.com/?ppress-listener=paystack.
Here’s a demo of Paystack on the ProfilePress checkout page in WordPress.
After submitting the form, your customers will see a Paystack popup checkout to complete their payment.
