Description

The Check Payment addon enables check payment as a checkout method in Easy Digital Downloads, adding a new option among the gateways available in the store’s dashboard. When selecting this payment method, the buyer receives check shipping instructions, while the order remains in a pending status until manually compensated by the store owner in the digital store’s orders panel.

  • B2B businesses that receive high-value orders via administrative checks.

Designed for store owners who use Easy Digital Downloads and need to accept payments outside traditional electronic means, the Check Payment gateway addresses B2B scenarios, high-value sales, and markets where checks are still in circulation.
