  9. Retrieve your Embedded Checkout credentials from the Peach Payments Dashboard and enter your client ID, client secret, and merchant ID into the relevant fields.

  16. To enable webhooks for non-card payment methods, follow the instructions in the webhook documentation, using the <your-domain>/?wc-api=wc_switch_webhook_peach_payments URL format. To enable webhooks for card payments, send support your domain and ask them to configure <your-domain>/?wc-api=wc_payon_webhook_peach_payments as your webhook. Peach Payments completes the configuration and sends you the card webhook decryption key to enter into the relevant field.
