Navigate to the Offers section and click the integration tool link next to your offer.

This will take you to the integration page. Select "Partial.ly button on my BigCommerce cart" from the dropdown menu at the top and configure the button as you wish.

How does Partial.ly handle my BC orders?

When the customer selects Partial.ly as their payment option, a BC order will automatically be created. The BC order status of an opened or paid plan is controled by you within your BigCommerce Settings.

BigCommerce Settings within Partial.ly

There are a couple settings which can control how Partial.ly integrates with BigCommerce.

You can access and adjust these setting from your account at partial.ly/login under Settings > Integrations > BigCommerce Settings.

Order Statuses: Select what status you would like the BC order to have when a plan is opened or paid.

Notifications: Get a notification in the event an order fails to submit to BigCommerce.

Coupon codes: Allow customers to use BC coupon codes with their Partial.ly plans.

Abandoned Orders:You can drive up sales by configuring Partial.ly to automatically send a payment plan offer to customers who do not complete BigCommerce checkout.

Payment plans created from abandoned cart rescue messages will be subject to an additional 0.5% fee. See the bigcommerce abandoned cart settings page for more info.

Merchant Settings

We highly recommend you review all other merchant settings within your Partial.ly merchant account at partial.ly/login.

For example, if the products you are selling require shipping, be sure require shipping addressses under Settings > Checkout and configure shipping zones and shipping rates under Settings > Shipping.
BigCommerce order creation may fail if your shop is set to require shipping addresses but you do not have Partial.ly set to collect addresses.
