Description
PayForge is an all-in-one WooCommerce payments plugin. Ship a professional checkout with three complementary rails:
- Crypto — 12 blockchains plus USDT (ERC-20 / TRC-20), per-order dedicated address, MetaMask 1-click, real-time on-chain confirmation.
- PayPal — PayPal Checkout via PayPal REST API. Use your own PayPal Business account.
- Stripe cards — Stripe Checkout Sessions for cards, wallets and localised payment methods. Use your own Stripe account.
All three gateways are free. The plugin never sits between you and your customer’s money — all funds settle directly to your PayPal / Stripe / crypto wallet. PayForge only orchestrates the checkout flow.
Optional Managed Monitoring — the crypto rail needs a blockchain monitor running around the clock to detect deposits. Run your own node and post to the webhook endpoint for free, or subscribe to Managed Monitoring and we watch every chain 24/7 and confirm your crypto orders automatically — no server to maintain.

Why PayForge
- One plugin, one settings screen, one support contact — not three different plugins to maintain.
- Non-custodial by design: your customer pays you, not us.
- MetaMask + PayPal + Stripe under one WooCommerce checkout — customers pick their preferred rail.
External services
PayForge integrates with the following external services. All external calls are triggered by a site owner action (entering credentials, enabling a rail) or by a customer initiating a checkout. Customer identifying data is only sent to the payment processor selected by that customer for that specific order.
- PayPal REST API (
api-m.paypal.com/api-m.sandbox.paypal.com) — order creation, capture, refund, OAuth2 token. Sent: order amount, currency, order reference, return/cancel URLs. Terms: https://www.paypal.com/legalhub — Privacy: https://www.paypal.com/privacy - Stripe API (
api.stripe.com) — Checkout Session creation, refunds, webhook signature verification. Sent: order amount, currency, order id, billing email. Terms: https://stripe.com/legal — Privacy: https://stripe.com/privacy - Binance public price API (
api.binance.com) — crypto/fiat rate conversion at checkout. Sent: trading pair symbol only (e.g.BTCUSDT). No customer data. Terms: https://www.binance.com/en/terms — Privacy: https://www.binance.com/en/privacy-portal - PayForge managed license server (
api.wpcrypto.net, hosted on wpcrypto.net) — verifies the Managed Monitoring plan and registers your wallet pool for monitoring. Sent: license/install id + site domain + HMAC signature. Terms and Privacy: https://wpcrypto.net/terms/ and https://wpcrypto.net/privacy/ - PayForge managed blockchain monitor (optional, hosted on
wpcrypto.net) — HMAC-signed webhook the monitor calls when a deposit hits one of your pool addresses. Only public on-chain data is transmitted (tx hash, address, amount, confirmations). - Freemius — payment processing and licensing for the Managed Monitoring plan. Terms: https://freemius.com/terms/ — Privacy: https://freemius.com/privacy/
- Bundled wallet-generator libraries (default public node endpoints
api.trongrid.io, Solana public RPCapi.mainnet-beta.solana.com, and the endpoints shipped inside ethers.js such asapi.etherscan.io/api.polygonscan.com) — the admin “Wallet Generator” screen creates your receiving addresses in the browser using bundled open-source libraries (ethers.js, TronWeb, @solana/web3.js, bitcoinjs). Address and key generation is performed locally; no private keys or personal data are transmitted. These libraries are shipped with the public node endpoints listed above, which they may contact to read basic network parameters. TronGrid: https://www.trongrid.io/ — Solana RPC: https://solana.com/rpc — Etherscan: https://etherscan.io/terms - Blockchain explorers (Etherscan, BscScan, PolygonScan, Arbiscan, Basescan, Snowtrace, zkSync and Linea explorers, Blockstream, Solscan, TronScan) — used only to build “View transaction” links on the order screen. No data is sent to them by the plugin; a link opens in the visitor’s browser only if they click it.

FAQ
-
Do you receive any of the money?
-
No. PayPal payments settle to your PayPal account, Stripe payments to your Stripe account, and crypto payments go to wallets you generated locally (private keys stored encrypted in your database). PayForge does not hold funds.
-
Do I need a PayPal Business account?
-
Yes — you need a PayPal Business account and its REST API Client ID + Secret. Sign up free at developer.paypal.com.
-
Do I need a Stripe account?
-
For the Stripe rail, yes — a standard Stripe account with your publishable + secret keys. All three rails (Crypto, PayPal, Stripe) are free.
-
How does the address-per-order work?
-
When a customer submits a crypto order, PayForge atomically reserves the next available wallet from your pool using a
SELECT … FOR UPDATElock. Two concurrent checkouts never receive the same address, even under high load. -
What about refunds?
-
PayPal and Stripe rails support full and partial refunds directly from the WooCommerce order screen. Crypto refunds are manual by design (blockchain transactions cannot be reversed) — refunds are initiated from your wallet.
-
Which rail is best for what?
-
- Cards (Stripe Pro) — best for global card acceptance and localised methods.
- PayPal — trusted by many customers; often converts higher for smaller-ticket items.
- Crypto — chargeback-free, low-fee for international / high-ticket, appeals to Web3-native audiences.
