## Description

This plugin adds **EUROPAN** — the network currency operated by Noble Private
 Capital
Ltd (europan.group) — as its own payment method inside WooCommerce.

**How it works for the customer:**

 1. The customer selects “Pay with EUROPAN” at checkout.
 2. They enter the email address and PIN from their EUROPAN account.
 3. The plugin verifies the balance in real time via europan.direct (which itself
     
    talks to the EUROPAN network) — this plugin never contacts EUROPAN’s core infrastructure
    directly, only europan.direct, using the shop’s own partner API key.
 4. If the balance covers the full order amount, the order can be placed — this
     payment
    method always requires the **full** amount to be covered by EUROPAN balance; partial
    payment combined with another method is not supported.

**Optional customer bonus:**

Shop owners can configure an additional incentive for paying with EUROPAN,
 either
as a percentage of the order value or as a fixed amount. When enabled, it appears
as its own discount line directly in the cart/checkout totals as soon as EUROPAN
is selected as the payment method — no separate bonus credit step is needed, the
customer simply owes less.

**For the shop owner:**

 * Full-amount debit only, verified via email + PIN — no partial charges.
 * Your shop is credited the full (already, if applicable, discounted) order
    amount—
   this plugin never deducts anything on EUROPAN’s behalf. EUROPAN’s own service
   fee is invoiced to you separately and manually; it has nothing to do with this
   plugin’s settings.
 * Order notes record every charge and any failures that require manual
    follow-
   up.
 * Refunds and cancellations automatically credit the customer’s EUROPAN
    balance
   back (the shop’s own credit is intentionally NOT auto-reversed — this is flagged
   for manual reconciliation instead, to avoid silently leaving a partner’s balance
   negative).
 * Works with both the classic (shortcode) checkout and the block-based
    Cart & 
   Checkout.

This plugin requires an active EUROPAN partner account and API key
 (europan.direct)
to function — it is not a general-purpose currency plugin.

### External services

This plugin connects to **europan.direct**, an API operated by PAN21.COM
 Corporate
Consultants Ltd on behalf of Noble Private Capital Ltd, to verify EUROPAN balances
and settle payments on behalf of the shop. It is needed because EUROPAN balance 
verification and settlement can only happen through this partner API — this plugin
never contacts EUROPAN’s core account infrastructure directly.

When a customer checks their EUROPAN balance or completes a payment, this
 plugin
sends the following data to europan.direct, using the shop’s own partner API key:

 * The email address and PIN entered by the customer (used only to verify the
    balance—
   never stored by this plugin beyond the current checkout session).
 * The order amount and a reference derived from the WooCommerce order number.

This happens every time a customer selects “Pay with EUROPAN” at checkout
 and submits
their credentials. No other customer or site data is transmitted.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate the plugin (requires WooCommerce to be active).
 2. Register for a EUROPAN partner account and API key at
     [europan.direct/partners.html](https://www.europan.direct/partners.html)—
    the Free tier issues an active API key immediately, no waiting.
 3. Go to WooCommerce  Settings  Payments  EUROPAN.
 4. Enable the gateway and enter your API key. That’s the only account-specific
     setting—
    your partner email is resolved automatically from your account, and your shop is
    always credited the full order amount (EUROPAN’s own service fee, if any, is billed
    to you separately and manually — it plays no role in this plugin).
 5. Optionally configure the customer bonus (percentage or fixed amount).
 6. Save. EUROPAN now appears as a payment option at checkout.

## FAQ

### Can a customer pay part of the order with EUROPAN and the rest with another method?

No. This gateway always requires the entire order total to be covered by the
 customer’s
EUROPAN balance. There is no partial-payment / split-payment option.

### What happens if the customer’s balance doesn’t cover the order?

The order cannot be placed until either the balance is sufficient or a
 different
payment method is chosen.

### Does the shop owner need a EUROPAN account?

Yes — a EUROPAN partner account and API key from europan.direct are required
 to
receive credits for completed orders.

### Is the bonus optional?

Yes, it is fully optional and disabled by default. Shop owners choose whether
 to
offer it at all, and whether it’s a percentage or a fixed amount.

## Changelog

#### 0.6.4

 * Added a dedicated “External services” section to readme.txt disclosing
    data 
   sent to europan.direct, with links to its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy(
   both newly published), per WordPress.org review feedback.
 * Fixed “Tested up to” to use Major.Minor format only (7.0, not 7.0.1).

#### 0.6.3

 * Updated compatibility metadata ahead of WordPress.org submission: tested up
    
   to WordPress 7.0.1 and WooCommerce 10.9. No functional changes.

#### 0.6.2

 * Fixed two Plugin Check nonce-verification warnings that were reintroduced
    during
   the 0.6.0 architecture rewrite: the phpcs:ignore annotation must sit on the exact
   same line as the flagged code to have any effect — it had drifted onto a separate
   comment line above it again (same class of mistake as in 0.5.3, now fixed in 
   both places it recurred).

#### 0.6.1

 * Corrected a mistake introduced in 0.6.0: the shop is now credited the FULL
    order
   amount, with no automatic deduction whatsoever. An earlier version of the new
   europan.direct-based settlement briefly deducted a per-partner commission automatically—
   that was wrong. Any discount the customer receives is entirely the shop’s own
   choice (the plugin’s own configurable bonus feature); EUROPAN’s own service fee
   is invoiced to the shop manually and separately, and has no representation anywhere
   in this plugin’s code, settings, or the europan.direct database.

#### 0.6.0

 * SECURITY & ARCHITECTURE: this plugin no longer talks to EUROPAN’s core account
   
   infrastructure directly under any circumstances. It previously asked shop owners
   to enter “their own API key” for direct balance-check/debit/credit calls — but
   that infrastructure only ever recognized one shared internal key used across 
   the whole EUROPAN network, never per-partner keys. Distributing that key to third
   parties would have allowed debiting any customer’s balance without their PIN.
   The plugin now exclusively calls europan.direct using the shop’s own harmless,
   scoped partner key; europan.direct performs the actual balance/debit/credit operations
   server-side.
 * Removed the “Partner-E-Mail” and “Netzwerk-Kommission” settings entirely —
    both
   are now resolved automatically from the shop’s partner account on europan.direct
   and were never something the shop should have been able to self-declare (the 
   commission in particular directly determines the shop’s own payout, so shop-editable
   was a real integrity gap).
 * Simplified checkout flow: balance verification and the actual charge each
    happen
   in a single call now (previously multiple separate steps across two files), with
   the charge itself completing synchronously before an order is ever marked as 
   placed, rather than being finalized later via a hook.

#### 0.5.4

 * Fixed several incorrect domain references: partner registration and API
    keys
   come from europan.direct, not europan.group (europan.group is only where end 
   customers buy EUROPAN vouchers — that reference was correct and is unchanged).
   Also corrected the description of which API the plugin actually talks to at runtime(
   noble-limited.com), and removed a privacy policy link that pointed to a page 
   which doesn’t exist.
 * Installation instructions now link directly to the live, self-service
    registration
   page (europan.direct/partners.html).

#### 0.5.3

 * Fixed a Plugin Check nonce-verification warning by moving the phpcs:ignore
    annotation
   onto the exact flagged line (it previously sat on a separate comment line above,
   where it had no effect).
 * Removed every suggested/default commission percentage from the plugin
    (activation-
   time default, settings field default, “recommended range” text, input max cap).
   The network commission is a per-partner business agreement, not something this
   plugin should hint at or assume — shop owners enter exactly the rate agreed with
   PAN21/EUROPAN, and an unset rate is treated as 0%, never a guessed number.

#### 0.5.2

 * Clarified that payouts to shop owners are currently handled manually
    (periodic
   bank transfer, no automated payout run) and that bank details for this must be
   provided during partner registration on europan.direct — not in this plugin’s
   own settings, which never transmits bank data anywhere. Also recommends using
   a dedicated partner email address (never used for personal EUROPAN spending) 
   so the earned commission balance stays distinguishable from any personal balance
   on the same account.

#### 0.5.1

 * Documentation correction only, no functional change: removed outdated
    “closed-
   loop, no cash payout” claims from code comments, settings text and this readme.
   The intended model for partner settlement is now a real Euro bank payout (funded
   from EUROPAN’s voucher pre-sale float), but this is not yet implemented on the
   backend — the plugin still issues an EP credit to the shop’s own EUROPAN balance,
   exactly as before. This version only makes the documentation honest about that
   gap; nothing about the actual payout behaviour changed.

#### 0.5.0

 * The EUROPAN API key is now entered directly in the gateway’s own settings
    screen(
   WooCommerce  Settings  Payments  EUROPAN), like every other payment gateway plugin—
   previously it required editing wp-config.php, which isn’t practical for a self-
   service WordPress.org plugin. A wp-config.php constant is still supported as 
   an optional override for advanced/managed deployments, but is no longer required.

#### 0.4.2

 * Renamed the plugin to “EUROPAN for WooCommerce” (English “for”) — the
    previous
   German “für” isn’t recognized by the WordPress.org Plugin Directory’s trademarked-
   term check for third-party WooCommerce extensions, even though the meaning is
   identical.
 * Removed a leftover hidden file (.gitkeep) from the distributed plugin.
 * Fixed two Plugin Check warnings around input sanitization/nonce
    verification(
   functionally no change — the input was already safe, the code just needed to 
   match the patterns the automated scanner recognizes).
 * Updated “Tested up to” to the current WordPress version.

#### 0.4.1

 * Added the official EUROPAN logo as the payment method icon.
 * EUROPAN-denominated amounts in the checkout panel now use the EUROPAN
    currency
   symbol )( instead of € to distinguish them from the order’s actual Euro total.

#### 0.4.0

 * Changed the customer bonus from a post-payment balance credit to an
    immediate
   discount on the order total, so it appears directly (with both percentage and
   amount) in the cart/checkout totals table.

#### 0.3.1

 * Fixed the bonus notice not appearing in the block-based Cart & Checkout
    (it 
   previously only rendered in the classic shortcode checkout).

#### 0.3.0

 * Added an optional, shop-configurable customer bonus for EUROPAN payments.

#### 0.2.1

 * Initial public-facing release: EUROPAN as a standalone WooCommerce payment
    gateway,
   full-amount-only, with partner commission and refund handling.
