## Description
**HandyPay** lets you accept card payments on your WordPress site without WooCommerce
or a complicated checkout setup. Create a payment button, then drop it on a page,
share it as a URL, or paste it in an email.
#### Why HandyPay?
* **One button, three ways to use it** — embed on a page, share a URL, paste raw
HTML on any site.
* **Unlimited buttons** — one for every service, product, or tier. Manage them
all from one screen.
* **Sharable payment links** — `/handypay/pay/your-slug` URLs you can drop in DMs,
emails, social bios.
* **Reusable or one-time** — pay-me-anytime tip jar, or single-use ticket link
that expires after one purchase.
* **Custom design** — colors, padding, corner radius, font (built-in Matter, Google
Fonts, or upload your own).
* **Live preview** — see the button update as you configure it.
* **Built-in dashboard** — revenue stats, recent payments, status breakdown, sparkline
chart.
* **Powered by HandyPay** — a complete merchant platform, including a mobile app,
payouts, and dispute management.
#### HandyPay Pro
HandyPay Pro is an optional paid upgrade ($20/month):
* **Reduced transaction fees** on every payment.
* **Custom payment-page branding** — your logo, colors, and a footer message —
added by the separate HandyPay Pro add-on, installed from [handypay.me](https://handypay.me).
The “Secure checkout powered by HandyPay” credit on the payment page is off by default
and only appears if you turn it on under HandyPay Settings.
#### What you need
1. A HandyPay merchant account — sign up at [merchant.handypay.me](https://merchant.handypay.me/onboarding)(
free).
2. An API key from the HandyPay portal.
3. Two minutes for setup.
#### Features
* Drop-in `[handypay_pay]` shortcode with attributes for amount, currency, description,
button text, colors, font, padding, and size.
* Payment Buttons admin: create unlimited buttons, each with its own price and
styling.
* Sharable payment links at clean URLs.
* Webhook reconciliation with HMAC-SHA256 signature verification.
* Built-in dashboard mirroring the HandyPay merchant portal.
* Custom font uploads (.woff2, .woff, .ttf, .otf).
* Curated Google Fonts: Inter, Roboto, Poppins, Manrope, DM Sans, Plus Jakarta,
Work Sans, Space Grotesk.
* Onboarding wizard for first-time merchants.
* Test mode toggle.
### External services
This plugin connects to the **HandyPay payments API** (`https://api.handypay.me`)
to create payment sessions, render signed buttons, and reconcile payments through
HandyPay’s payment processor (**Stripe**). This connection is required for the plugin
to accept payments.
* **When:** when a button or payment link is rendered, when a customer starts a
payment, when HandyPay sends a webhook to your site, and when the store owner
views the dashboard or manages payments.
* **Data sent:** payment amount and currency, button/link descriptions, the customer’s
email (if provided at checkout), and your HandyPay API key for authentication.
Raw card details are collected by HandyPay/Stripe directly and are never sent
to or stored on your site.

## Installation
1. Upload the `handypay-payments` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install via
the Plugins screen.
2. Activate **HandyPay Payments** under Plugins.
3. Go to **HandyPay Settings**, paste your API key and webhook signing secret.
4. Add the displayed webhook URL to your HandyPay merchant portal.
5. Go to **HandyPay Payment Buttons** and create your first button.
## FAQ
### Do I need WooCommerce?
No. HandyPay is standalone and works on any WordPress site, including page-builder
themes like Elementor, Divi, Bricks, Beaver Builder, and the default block editor.
### Where does the payment actually happen?
On a HandyPay-hosted Stripe Checkout page. Customers leave your site, complete payment,
and return to your configured success page. PCI compliance is handled by HandyPay
+ Stripe — your WordPress site never touches card data.
### Can prices be tampered with?
No. Amounts are signed server-side when the button renders, and re-verified on the
way to checkout. Customers can’t modify prices via DevTools.
### How are webhooks verified?
HandyPay signs every webhook with HMAC-SHA256. The plugin verifies in constant time
using PHP’s `hash_equals` before processing.
### Can I use my own fonts?
Yes. Upload `.woff2`, `.woff`, `.ttf`, or `.otf` files via **HandyPay Fonts**,
then pick them in Settings Appearance Font. Each button can also override the
font via the `font="..."` shortcode attribute.
### Does it work on multisite?
Yes. Activate per-site; each site has its own API key and settings.
### What countries are supported?
Wherever HandyPay supports onboarding merchants. See [handypay.me](https://handypay.me)
for the current list.
