External Services

This plugin connects to the Paymento API to process cryptocurrency payments. Paymento is a non-custodial payment gateway that enables WooCommerce stores to accept payments in Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and other cryptocurrencies.

?? Data Sent to Paymento API

The plugin interacts with the Paymento API for the following purposes:

• Payment Verification

  • The plugin sends payment transaction details to https://api.paymento.io/v1/payment/verify to confirm if a payment was successfully made.
  • This request is triggered when an order is placed or needs verification.

• Fetching Merchant Information

  • Calls https://api.paymento.io/v1/ping/merchant/ to retrieve the store’s registered name and confirm API connectivity.
  • This request is made when setting up the payment gateway in WooCommerce.

• Setting Callback URLs

  • The plugin sends data to https://api.paymento.io/v1/payment/settings/ to configure callback URLs for payment notifications.
  • This happens when the payment gateway is set up for the first time.

• Submitting Payment Requests

  • When a customer selects crypto payment, the plugin sends a request to https://api.paymento.io/v1/payment/request with order details.
  • This allows Paymento to generate a payment invoice for the user.

• API Health Check

  • A request to https://api.paymento.io/v1/ping/ ensures the API is operational before processing payments.

?? Third-Party Policies

By using this plugin, your WooCommerce store communicates with Paymento API. You can review Paymento’s terms and policies here:

• Terms of Service: https://paymento.io/terms
• Privacy Policy: https://paymento.io/privacy

This ensures users are fully aware of the data being sent and why. ??
