When a client pays an invoice, the plugin creates a Stripe Checkout Session on your configured Stripe account and redirects the client to complete payment on Stripe’s hosted page. The client’s payment details are entered directly on Stripe’s servers and are never stored in WordPress. Your Stripe API keys (publishable and secret) are stored in the WordPress options table and transmitted only to Stripe’s API. * Service: Stripe, Inc. * Data sent: payment amount, currency, project description, and client email when a payment session is created. Stripe webhook events (payment completion) are received and verified using your webhook secret. * Terms of Service: https://stripe.com/legal/ssa * Privacy Policy: https://stripe.com/privacy **Client Octopus AI Relay** Client Octopus’s AI writing tools route requests through a relay service operated by the plugin author (clientoctopus.com). This relay authenticates your licence and forwards requests to an AI model. AI features are only triggered when you explicitly use an AI writing action in the admin. * Service: clientoctopus.com (operated by codievolt) * Data sent: the text prompt you submit (proposal content or instructions) and your licence key, which authenticates the request and is used to enforce your plan’s monthly rate limit. No site URL or admin email is transmitted to this relay. * Privacy Policy: https://clientoctopus.clientoctopus.com/privacy-policy/ **Freemius** Client Octopus uses Freemius to manage plan licensing, activation, and upgrades. When you activate a licence key, the site URL, plugin version, and licence key are sent to Freemius to verify your plan and enable the correct feature set. * Service: Freemius, Inc. * Data sent: site URL, plugin version, licence key, and basic activation/deactivation events. * Terms of Service: https://freemius.com/terms/ * Privacy Policy: https://freemius.com/privacy/ ## Screenshots [⌊Client Octopus plan and usage dashboard⌉⌊Client Octopus plan and usage dashboard⌉[ Client Octopus plan and usage dashboard [⌊Client Octopus proposal builder templates⌉⌊Client Octopus proposal builder templates⌉[ Client Octopus proposal builder templates [⌊Client Octopus proposal builder pricing setup⌉⌊Client Octopus proposal builder pricing setup⌉[ Client Octopus proposal builder pricing setup [⌊Client Octopus project milestones and approvals⌉⌊Client Octopus project milestones and approvals⌉[ Client Octopus project milestones and approvals [⌊Client Octopus client portal projects interface⌉⌊Client Octopus client portal projects interface⌉[ Client Octopus client portal projects interface ## Installation 1.
