Recommended WooCommerce settings for your buyback store.

WooCommerce Configuration for Buyback#

Gyta Buyback works on top of WooCommerce. Below are the recommended WooCommerce settings to optimize your buyback store.

Shipping: Free Shipping Zone#

Navigate to WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping. Create a shipping zone with Free Shipping for your service area. It is standard practice in buyback to offer free shipping — the cost is covered through EasyPost labels.

Optional: Local Drop-off#

To offer a local drop-off option, create a zone limited to specific ZIP codes and add "Local Pickup" renamed to "Local Drop-off".

Arrange shipping zones from most geographically specific to least specific so WooCommerce picks the right zone.

Payment Methods#

Navigate to WooCommerce → Settings → Payments. Gyta Buyback adds reversed payment methods where the store pays the customer. Enable only the methods you plan to support.

Payment settings

Free: PayPal, Check, Amazon Gift Card. PRO: Venmo, Zelle, Interac eTransfer, Crypto/Stablecoin.

Guest Checkout#

Under WooCommerce → Settings → Accounts & Privacy, we recommend enabling guest checkout to reduce friction in the trade-in process.

Email Notifications#

Under WooCommerce → Settings → Emails, Gyta Buyback customizes several templates:

  • Order Created — Sent when customer submits a trade-in (includes shipping label).
  • Processing — Sent when you receive their items.
  • Completed — Sent when payment is sent.

General Store Settings#

Under WooCommerce → Settings → General, set your store address and currency. For the Selling location, select where you accept buyback items from.
