External service
This plugin depends on the MyGate service at https://app.mygate.me to create and display cryptocurrency payment requests and to report confirmed payments back to the store.
When a shopper chooses MyGate, the plugin sends the order/payment amount, currency, an encrypted order reference, the merchant’s public MyGate checkout key (pk_live_), the return URL, and a short order note to MyGate. The private MyGate API key (sk_live_) remains on the WordPress server and is used only for authenticated server-to-server fallback status checks. MyGate normally sends the confirmed transaction back to the webhook URL configured by the merchant.
If a webhook is delayed or blocked by a firewall, CDN, or security product, the plugin can also make a server-to-server request from WordPress to the MyGate API. It searches for the exact encrypted order reference and validates the completed transaction before updating the local WooCommerce/EDD payment. Fallback status lookups are sent server-to-server with the private sk_live_ key. Browser-visible checkout URLs contain only the derived public pk_live_ key.

Installation
- Install and activate the plugin.
- Open Settings > MyGate.
- Enter the private sk_live_ API key from MyGate > Account > API key. The plugin derives the public pk_live_ checkout key automatically.
- Enter the same Webhook secret key used in MyGate > Settings > Webhook.
- Copy the Webhook URL shown by the plugin into MyGate > Settings > Webhook > Webhook URL.
- In WooCommerce > Settings > Payments, enable MyGate. For Easy Digital Downloads, enable MyGate in Downloads > Settings > Payments.
- Choose Redirect to MyGate or Embedded modal under Settings > MyGate.
FAQ
-
Does this support WooCommerce Checkout Blocks?
-
Yes. The plugin registers MyGate as a payment method for WooCommerce Cart and Checkout Blocks as well as the classic shortcode checkout.
-
What happens if Cloudflare or another firewall blocks the webhook?
-
The webhook remains the primary and fastest confirmation path. The plugin also has a server-side fallback that queries the MyGate API for the exact encrypted payment reference. A completed transaction is still validated against the local order amount, currency, payment method, stored reference, and terminal status before the order is marked paid.
-
Does the plugin custody cryptocurrency?
-
No. MyGate is designed around merchant-controlled wallet addresses. Blockchain processing and wallet configuration are handled by the MyGate service.
-
Does embedded mode require a different webhook?
-
No. Embedded and redirect modes use the same MyGate payment flow and webhook endpoint. Embedded mode changes only the shopper-facing presentation.
