Important to note
For a custom theme (or non-default theme), if your checkout still uses the standard stepped checkout like the one in default theme, our plugin should work for you. Our plugin has been tested and is compatible with default theme, Journal2 and Journal3 themes using stepped checkout. Our standard plugin is not compatible with quick checkout. If your checkout uses any extension which has turned it into a quick checkout or one page checkout not stepped like the default one, it may be necessary to make changes to the extension so that it is compatible with your OpenCart store. In case you need a custom theme integration please contact us at support@getsafepay.com.
