## Description

Allscale Checkout is a WordPress plugin (built as a WooCommerce payment gateway)
that lets your customers pay with crypto while funds settle instantly as USDT stablecoin
directly to your wallet — Allscale never holds your money.

#### Why use Allscale?

 * **Non-custodial.** Funds go straight to your wallet. No third party holds your
   money. No account freezes.
 * **Low fees.** 0.6% per transaction with a $0.10 minimum (vs. ~3% on traditional
   processors).
 * **Instant settlement.** On-chain USDT — no waiting days for payouts.
 * **Permissionless setup.** Sign up, paste your credentials, start accepting payments.

#### Features

 * Native WooCommerce payment gateway.
 * HMAC-SHA256 request signing and webhook verification (timing-safe).
 * Test-connection button + automatic credential validation on save.
 * Per-order Allscale Payment meta box: tx hash with block-explorer link, payment-
   method type, paid / fee / net breakdown.
 * Webhook health observation: last-received timestamp, first-webhook celebration,
   stale-webhook warning.
 * HPOS compatible. Block-based checkout compatible.
 * Full i18n with text domain `allscale-checkout`.

#### Requirements

 * WordPress 5.8+
 * WooCommerce 6.0+
 * PHP 7.4+
 * An [Allscale account](https://allscale.io) with Commerce enabled

### External services

This plugin connects to **Allscale’s API at `https://openapi.allscale.io`** so your
customers’ payments can be created, confirmed, and settled to your wallet. Specifically:

**What is sent to Allscale, and when:**

 * _On settings save and on every “Test connection” click:_ the API key and a signed`
   GET /v1/test/ping` request — verifies the credentials are correct without sending
   order data.
 * _When a customer clicks “Place order” with Allscale selected:_ a signed `POST/
   v1/checkout_intents/` with the order’s total amount in cents, currency (or stable-
   coin enum), your store’s order number, an order description (the names of items
   in the cart, truncated), the customer’s WooCommerce user ID and billing name,
   and the WooCommerce thank-you URL to redirect them back to after payment.
 * _When the customer lands back on the thank-you page:_ a signed `GET /v1/checkout_intents/{
   id}` to read the on-chain transaction details and reconcile the order.

**What Allscale sends back, and when:**

 * _Hosted checkout URL_ — the page your customer is redirected to to actually pay.
 * _Webhook callbacks_ — when an on-chain payment confirms, Allscale POSTs a signed
   message to `https://your-site.com/wc-api/allscale_checkout` containing the transaction
   hash, chain ID, the on-chain settled amount in USDT, and the payment method type.
   The plugin verifies the HMAC-SHA256 signature before applying any state change.

**Service terms and privacy:**

 * Allscale’s terms of service: [https://www.allscale.io/agreement](https://www.allscale.io/agreement)
 * Allscale’s privacy policy: [https://www.allscale.io/policy](https://www.allscale.io/policy)

Using this plugin makes your WooCommerce store an integration partner of Allscale.
By installing and configuring it, you agree to Allscale’s terms.

### Privacy

This plugin does not collect any analytics, telemetry, or user data on its own. 
It does not “call home” to allscale-io or any third party other than the Allscale
API documented above.

**Personal data this plugin transmits to Allscale** for the purpose of processing
each order:

 * The customer’s WooCommerce user ID (an internal numeric ID, only if they’re a
   logged-in customer)
 * The customer’s billing first + last name
 * The order number and total amount
 * A short description of the items in the order (product names, truncated to 200
   characters)

**Personal data this plugin stores locally** in the WordPress database, on each 
order:

 * The Allscale checkout intent ID
 * The on-chain transaction hash (public blockchain data)
 * The settled amount, fee, and net amount in USDT
 * The chain ID and payment-method type

No card numbers, no wallet seed phrases, no private keys, and no email addresses
are sent or stored by this plugin.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin ZIP via _Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin_.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Go to _WooCommerce  Settings  Payments  Allscale Checkout_.
 4. Paste your API key and secret from your Allscale dashboard.
 5. Click **Test connection**, then **Save changes**.
 6. Copy the webhook URL shown in settings and paste it into your Allscale store’s 
    webhook field.

## FAQ

### Does sandbox mode work?

Sandbox mode has been retired. To test without real payments, create a **test store**
in your Allscale dashboard and use its credentials. Both test and production stores
share the same `openapi.allscale.io` base URL.

### Can the plugin configure the webhook URL automatically?

No — Allscale does not expose webhook-management API endpoints. The merchant must
paste the URL into the Allscale dashboard manually. The plugin shows when a webhook
was last received so misconfigurations surface quickly.

### Are automatic refunds supported?

No. Allscale is non-custodial; funds settle directly to your wallet. To refund a
customer, send the amount back from your wallet, then update the order status in
WooCommerce.

### Which currencies are supported?

USD, AUD, CAD, CNY, EUR, GBP, HKD, JPY, SGD. You can also enable **native USDT pricing**
for crypto-first stores.

## Changelog

#### 1.0.0

 * First stable release. The plugin is now considered production-ready after the
   v0 hardening cycle. No breaking changes from 0.0.5 — existing settings, credentials,
   and order meta carry over untouched.
 * Plugin name simplified to “Allscale Checkout” (dropped the redundant “for WordPress”
   suffix). Slug, class names, namespaces, option keys, hook names, and the text
   domain are unchanged.
 * Compatibility verified with WordPress 7.0 and WooCommerce 10.8.
 * Hardening: admin asset-enqueue now unslashes and sanitizes the `$_GET` page-detection
   values.
 * Plugin Check pass: form-control output now routed through `wp_kses` allowlist,
   translator comments repositioned for i18n linting, removed the discouraged `load_plugin_textdomain`
   call (WordPress.org auto-loads translations) and the now-unused `Domain Path`
   header, and trimmed the readme short description to 150 characters.
 * Review prep: moved the thank-you polling and setup-wizard inline scripts into
   enqueued JS files, removed the default customer-facing “Powered by” attribution
   from the gateway description (admins can add their own), and corrected the terms/
   privacy URLs.

#### 0.0.5

 * Packaging hygiene: release ZIPs now exclude dev-only content (`.wordpress-org/`
   marketplace assets, internal `docs/`, dev-facing `README.md`) via a `.distignore`
   file. v0.0.4 ZIPs accidentally bundled all of that — merchants now get only the
   runtime code. No code-behavior changes.

#### 0.0.4

 * WordPress.org submission prep: added `== External services ==` and `== Privacy
   ==` readme sections required by WordPress.org for any plugin that communicates
   with an external API. Added `== Screenshots ==` section referencing the four 
   images in `.wordpress-org/`. No code-behavior changes.

#### 0.0.3

 * **Renamed**: plugin headline framing changed from “for WooCommerce” to “for WordPress”.
   The plugin still requires WooCommerce (and still ships as a WC payment gateway
   under the hood) — that’s now positioned as a dependency rather than the marketing
   headline. Class names, namespaces, option keys, hook names, and the text domain
   are unchanged.
 * GitHub repository renamed from `allscale-checkout-woocommerce` to `allscale-wordpress-
   plugin`. Old URLs continue to redirect via GitHub’s rename mechanism.

#### 0.0.2

 * Remove `Api_Client::get_intent_status()` — dead code, never called (the return-
   URL fallback uses `get_intent_details` for full fields). Restore in 5 lines if
   a future polling path needs it.
 * Documentation accuracy: clarify in architecture.md that `Admin::render_notices`
   ships 4 notice types (settings save result, first webhook, sandbox migration,
   credentials missing) and the other 3 from the design brief live in their own 
   surfaces (WC-required notice in `Plugin`, currency-unsupported inline on the 
   settings page, activation/get-started via the setup wizard).

#### 0.0.1

First pre-release of the AllScale Checkout rewrite. Deliberately labeled v0 — not
yet production-stable, expect rough edges.

Major changes vs the prior 0.1.x community beta:

 * Sandbox toggle removed (Allscale API consolidated to one base URL — use test-
   store credentials to test).
 * Status enum expanded from 6 to all 12 documented Allscale states.
 * Return-URL fallback now reads full intent details (the 0.1.x fallback used the
   wrong endpoint and never worked correctly).
 * `redirect_url` moved to top level; `user_id` / `user_name` now sent.
 * Allscale error codes mapped to user-facing copy.
 * 0.1 USDT minimum payment enforced up-front.
 * Settings save validates credentials via `/v1/test/ping` before storing them.
 * New: 4-step setup wizard on first activation.
 * New: Test connection button in settings (AJAX-backed).
 * New: Allscale Payment meta box on each order — status pill, paid/fee/net breakdown,
   tx hash with block-explorer link, payment-method type, chain badge.
 * New: Front-end thank-you status block (confirmed / pending with auto-refresh /
   failed).
 * New: Webhook health observation (last-received timestamp, first-webhook celebration,
   stale-after-7-days warning).
 * New: Native USDT pricing opt-in for crypto-first stores.
 * New: Branded “needs WooCommerce” notice with one-click Install or Activate CTA.
 * Fixed: Webhook handler now registered unconditionally on `init`, no longer dependent
   on the gateway constructor running.
 * Fixed: `mb_strimwidth` for order descriptions — CJK / emoji product names no 
   longer get sliced mid-character.
 * Fixed: Order_Locker mutex around state mutations — webhook + return-URL fallback
   can’t race.
 * Fixed: Late failure-state webhooks no longer revert already-paid orders.
 * Fixed: `cancelled` added to terminal-status exclusion.
 * Fixed: Gateway and Blocks_Integration classes now lazy-loaded after their WooCommerce
   parents are confirmed available — avoids a fatal when this plugin loads before
   WooCommerce.
 * Full i18n with text domain `allscale-checkout`.
