Patrons Tips works on a stand alone, but if you want to accept online payments and automate the assignment of patrons to their tier, use WooCommerce in addition to Patrons Tips.
Once you have activated and configured WooCommerce, you can now associate your tiers with WooCommerce products.
Using our automatic product creation feature
- In your admin panel, go to Patrons Tips > Tiers and click on the tier you want to associate
- In the Settings section, find Products > One-off and click on ‘Create product’ button.
This will create a product that will be used by all patronage levels: if you add another level using this button, it will be added as a variation of the same product. You can then modify the product as needed: any changes made to the product will be reflected across your patronage tiers.
Using your own products
Another way to associate your tiers with products is to use your own products. This can be useful if you need to organize your products differently for example.
- In your admin panel, go to Products > Click on “Add New Product” and configure your product
- Go to Patrons Tips > Tiers and click on the tier you want to associate
- In the Settings section, find Products > One-off
- Search for your WooCommerce product
- Update your tier to save the changes. The price has automatically been updated according to your WooCommerce product price.
Good to know! You can either create as many simple products as you have tiers, or one variable product with as many variations as you have tiers. Both situations will work!
