<li>Select event: <code>checkout.session.completed</code></li>
<li>Copy the webhook secret and paste it into plugin settings.</li>
<li>Use the TEST CONNECTION button in admin to validate configuration.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Shortcodes</h3>

<li><code>[courseflow_course id="123"]</code> — alternative purchase button</li>
<li><code>[courseflow_imagebuycourse id="123"]</code> — image-based buy button</li>
</ul>
