WP-Cron Background Sync Setup

Formipay includes an automatic background sync that runs every 10 minutes to retrieve any missed transactions directly from Paystack/Flutterwave APIs.

By default, WordPress triggers scheduled tasks (WP-Cron) when users visit your website. For highly reliable, timely background syncing, it is recommended to set up a real system cron job:

1. Open your wp-config.php file and add the following line to disable default visitor-triggered cron: define( ‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, true );
2. Set up a real cron job on your hosting server (via cPanel or SSH command line) to trigger every 10 minutes: wget -q -O – https://yourdomain.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron >/dev/null 2>&1

This plugin relies on external payment services to process transactions. By using this plugin, you agree to the terms and privacy policies of these providers:
