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.
