On the customer field, you have two options:
(1) You can search for the user account of your customer (if the customer has an existing WordPress account registered on your site)
You will need to make sure to enter both Billing and shipping details for the customer. If the user already has an account you can import this information.
If you’d like to create a user account for the customer You could do so from your WordPress admin dashboard > Users > Add New > Fill in the customer’s information and then click the Add new user button to finalize it.
(2) Otherwise, you could also use the Guest option and then fill up the billing and shipping address manually.
Once the information of the customer has been added, we will now proceed in adding the item for the order. You have two options, you can search and add products, or you can click add fee and just enter in an amount.
Here’s how you can add a WooCommerce product(s):

To proceed, click the AG MOTO Payment button and it will redirect you to the WooCommerce checkout, checkout like normal using the customer’s provided information. From there, you will notice that 3D secure is not shown. This is from their design as MOTO payments do not use 3D security and you will not get penalized for this.
Once the order has been paid, you will see order notes on the right-hand side of your page stating that the order was paid via MOTO.
The customer’s email should also receive an invoice with the email address provided from the WooCommerce order.
