Third-Party Services
This plugin connects to the following external services to process payments:
HL Hunt Payment API
When a customer places an order, the plugin sends payment data (amount, currency, vault token, order metadata) to the HL Hunt API at https://payments.hlhunt.org for charge creation, refunds, and status polling. This communication only occurs when a customer initiates a checkout or when a merchant processes a refund.
PCI Vault (by SnapBill, Inc.)
Card data entered by the customer is sent directly from the customer’s browser to PCI Vault (https://api.pcivault.io), a PCI DSS Level 1 certified card vault. Raw card numbers never pass through your WordPress server. The plugin loads a JavaScript SDK (hlhunt.js) from the HL Hunt server to facilitate this secure tokenization.
What Data Is Sent Externally
- To PCI Vault (from customer’s browser): Card number, expiry date, CVC, cardholder name.
- To HL Hunt API (from your server): Vault token (not raw card data), charge amount, currency, order ID, order key, customer IP address, charge descriptions.
- No data is collected or sent for analytics, tracking, or advertising purposes.
