## Description

**GriffNode is a non-custodial crypto payment gateway for WooCommerce.** Your customers
pay in crypto and the money settles **straight to your own wallet** – GriffNode 
never holds, touches, or can freeze your funds. There are no chargebacks and no 
account holds.

You connect your wallet’s extended public key (xPub) once, and GriffNode derives
a fresh receiving address for every order, so payments go customer to merchant directly.
Learn how it works at [griffnode.com](https://griffnode.com/) or read the full [WooCommerce setup guide](https://learn.griffnode.com/how-to-accept-crypto-payments-woocommerce).

**Why merchants switch to crypto checkout**

 * **Non-custodial** – funds settle directly to your wallet, not ours. We literally
   cannot spend or freeze them.
 * **No chargebacks** – on-chain settlement is final. A customer cannot keep your
   product and claw back the money.
 * **Live in minutes** – sign up, paste your xPub, enable the gateway.
 * **No frozen payouts** – no processor sits between you and your revenue.
 * **Flat monthly pricing** – no percentage per transaction. See [pricing](https://griffnode.com/)(
   free Starter tier, then flat plans).

**Coins supported**

Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), Dash (DASH), plus
the ERC-20 stablecoins **USDT, USDC and DAI** for price-stable payments.

**Features**

 * A “Pay with Cryptocurrency” gateway at WooCommerce checkout with a live coin 
   selector.
 * Hosted, mobile-friendly payment page with a BIP-21 QR code.
 * Real-time on-chain confirmation via signed webhooks (HMAC-SHA256).
 * Automatic order completion the moment a payment confirms, partial-payment and
   expiry handling.
 * HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) compatible.
 * Full REST API and SDKs (JavaScript, Python, PHP) at [docs.griffnode.com](https://docs.griffnode.com/).

This plugin connects to the GriffNode API (griffnode.com) to create hosted payment
sessions and receive payment webhooks; a free GriffNode account and API key are 
required.

### External services

This plugin relies on the GriffNode API (`api.griffnode.com`), operated by GriffNode,
to create
 crypto payment sessions and to notify your store when a payment confirms.
It is not optional: the plugin cannot function without it.

**What is sent, and when:**

 * When a customer places an order and selects a cryptocurrency, the plugin sends
   the order total,
    currency, the selected cryptocurrency, your store’s return/
   cancel URLs, and the order’s WooCommerce ID/order key and billing email to `https://
   api.griffnode.com/transactions/create`, authenticated with your Secret Key.
 * On the checkout page, your store’s browser fetches the list of cryptocurrencies
   you’ve
    configured wallets for from `https://api.griffnode.com/merchant/cryptos`,
   authenticated with your Publishable Key (safe to expose, it grants no write access).
 * GriffNode sends signed payment-status webhooks (HMAC-SHA256) back to your store’s
   ?
   wc-api=griffnode endpoint as the customer’s payment is detected/confirmed/expires.

See GriffNode’s [Terms of Service](https://info.griffnode.com/terms-of-service) 
and
 [Privacy Policy](https://info.griffnode.com/privacy-policy).

## Installation

 1. Create a free account at [griffnode.com](https://griffnode.com/) and connect your
    wallet’s xPub.
 2. In your GriffNode dashboard, copy your **Publishable key**, **Secret key** and **
    Webhook secret**.
 3. Install this plugin: Plugins  Add New  Upload, choose the zip, and Activate. (WooCommerce
    must be active.)
 4. Go to WooCommerce  Settings  Payments  **GriffNode** and paste your keys.
 5. In your GriffNode dashboard, set the webhook URL to `https://your-store.com/?wc-
    api=griffnode`.
 6. Place a small test order to confirm end to end.

## FAQ

### Are crypto payments reversible? Can I get a chargeback?

No. On-chain settlement is final, so there are no chargebacks. This is a major advantage
for digital goods and high-risk categories.

### Where does the money go?

Directly to your own wallet, every time, via the xPub you connect. GriffNode cannot
custody, spend, or freeze it.

### Which cryptocurrencies can customers pay with?

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin and Dash, plus the USDT, USDC and DAI stablecoins.

### Does it work with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS)?

Yes. The plugin declares HPOS compatibility.

### What does it cost?

GriffNode uses flat monthly pricing with no percentage per transaction, including
a free Starter tier. See [griffnode.com](https://griffnode.com/) for current plans.

### Where are the docs?

Full API and integration docs are at [docs.griffnode.com](https://docs.griffnode.com/).

## Changelog

#### 1.0.2

 * Works in the block-based Checkout (the WooCommerce default for new stores) as
   well as the classic checkout.
 * Display name is now “GriffNode Crypto Payments for WooCommerce”.
 * Checkout script is now enqueued (wp_enqueue_script) instead of printed inline,
   and re-fills the selector after WooCommerce refreshes the checkout.
 * Text domain matches the plugin slug (griffnode-for-woocommerce); all user-facing
   strings translatable.
 * Fixed the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy links in External services.

#### 1.0.1

 * Fix: transaction creation sent the fiat amount under the wrong field name, which
   the API
    silently interpreted as USD regardless of your store’s actual currency,
   so non-USD stores were billing the wrong crypto amount on every order. Fixed.
 * Fix: orders never automatically left “Pending” on payment, because the plugin
   looked for the
    order under a field the API doesn’t return for this integration.
   Order matching is now done via the checkout metadata that’s actually echoed back,
   with the transaction id used as a cross-check.
 * Fix: two of the API’s payment-status events (overpaid, failed) were not handled
   at all;
    overpaid orders in particular could stay stuck “Pending” despite being
   paid. Both are now handled.
 * Fix: the crypto selector on checkout built its dropdown via raw HTML string concatenation;
   
   it’s now built through the DOM API instead.
 * Improvement: resubmitting checkout (double-click, back-button) now reuses an 
   order’s existing
    payment session for up to 55 minutes instead of creating a 
   new one each time.
 * Improvement: customer email is now sent as its own field so the hosted payment
   page can
    pre-fill it, instead of only being nested in metadata.
 * Improvement: the webhook endpoint now requires HTTPS.
 * Docs: added the required External Services disclosure.

#### 1.0.0

 * Initial release: non-custodial crypto payment gateway for WooCommerce (BTC, ETH,
   LTC, DOGE, DASH + USDT/USDC/DAI), hosted checkout, signed webhooks, HPOS support.
