PaySovra – Crypto & Stablecoin Payment Gateway for WooCommerce

Changelog

1.8.2

• Overpayments are no longer flagged to the customer with an offer to return
  the difference. The amount paid is shown either way, so nothing is hidden,
  but crypto refunds are manual and a few cents of rounding shouldn’t create
  work for the shop owner. The overpayment is still noted on the order.

1.8.1

• The order confirmation, the customer’s account and WooCommerce’s order
  emails now show what was actually paid — the amount, the coin and the
  network, plus the transaction. Previously only the order price appeared,
  and the crypto details were recorded where only the shop owner could see
  them.

1.8.0

• Reopening a checkout now picks up where the customer left off. Previously,
  someone who paid part of the total and closed the window was shown the coin
  picker again as though nothing had happened — which stranded what they had
  already sent and asked them to pay the full amount a second time. They now
  return to the same payment, showing what’s still outstanding and the address
  to send it to.

1.7.8

• Cleared everything flagged by the official WordPress Plugin Check.

1.7.7

• Documents exactly what is sent to PaySovra, what isn’t, and links to the
  terms, privacy and acceptable-use policies.

1.7.6

• Declares WooCommerce as a required plugin, so WordPress prompts for it
  instead of the gateway silently doing nothing.
• Compatibility updated for WordPress 7.0 and WooCommerce 11.

1.7.5

• FIX: after changing the discount rate, checkout advertised the new rate but
  the payment was still taken at the old one. WooCommerce reuses the same
  order across attempts, and the earlier discount was being left in place.

1.7.4

• FIX: the payment method description had disappeared from checkout.

1.7.3

• Restored the savings badge beside “Pay with crypto”, shown whether or not
  it’s selected, and the percentage for merchants who set one. The badge now
  also fills in the exact amount payable once the cart has loaded.

1.7.2

• FIX: the discounted price shown at checkout could differ by a cent from the
  amount actually requested. The figure was being calculated twice — once on
  the server, once in the browser — and the two rounded fractions of a cent
  differently. It is now calculated once, on the server, and the checkout
  simply displays it.

1.7.1

• The crypto option now shows what you’ll actually pay, not just a percentage,
  and keeps it current as the cart changes.

1.7.0

• The saving is now shown next to “Pay with crypto” whether or not it’s
  selected — a discount nobody sees until after choosing can’t persuade
  anyone to choose.
• IMPORTANT FIX: the discount no longer alters the cart. Other gateways build
  their payment object from the cart total when they load — Stripe creates a
  PaymentIntent up front — so a total that moved underneath them caused
  refused payments and blocked checkouts. A 50c basket briefly discounted left
  Stripe holding 43c, under its minimum, and it stopped the sale. The cart
  total now never changes; the discount is applied to the order once crypto is
  actually chosen, which is also when the amount is authorised.

1.6.1

• FIX: the crypto discount could stay applied after switching to another
  payment method, and that gateway would then refuse the order because the
  total had changed under it. Selection is now read from the checkout itself
  rather than inferred, updates are serialised so a slow one can’t land after
  a newer one, and any discount is stripped server-side from an order that
  isn’t actually being paid with crypto.

1.6.0

• Optional crypto discount. Switch it on in the gateway settings and choose a
  percentage or a fixed amount. It applies only while crypto is the selected
  payment method and comes off if the customer switches back. Percentages are
  capped at 50% so a mistyped value cannot give an order away.

1.5.0

• Sends the order’s line items so the payment record shows what was sold.
• The website taking payments is registered against your PaySovra account
  automatically — no setup step, and subdomains of a site you already
  registered don’t count again.

1.4.4

• Events for payments that aren’t WooCommerce orders (hosted pages, invoices,
  the API) no longer return an error and no longer retry.

1.4.3

• Clearer message when a customer closes the payment window.

1.4.2

• Updates from a superseded payment session are now ignored. Switching coins
  opens a new session, and an older one expiring could otherwise cancel an
  order while it was being paid.

1.4.1

• Fixed the Place Order button hanging after the payment window was closed —
  checkout waited on a signal the widget never sent, so the page had to be
  reloaded before you could try again.
• The customer’s name is now recorded alongside their email.
• Orders link back to the matching order in your WordPress admin.

1.4.0

• The payment window now opens over your own checkout page. Customers pick
  their coin and pay without leaving your site, and are returned to your
  order-received page once it confirms.
• If the window can’t open for any reason, checkout falls back to the hosted
  payment page — the customer can always pay.
• Closing the window leaves the order pending and keeps the customer on
  checkout, instead of sending them to a thank-you page for an unpaid order.

1.3.0

• The coin and network picker now appears. Previously the plugin chose an
  asset before the payment existed, so the customer never saw the choice —
  the receiving address had already been fixed.
• The order total is now authorised with PaySovra server-to-server before
  checkout opens. No price is sent from the browser, so it cannot be
  altered by the customer.
• Orders are never marked paid for less than they cost; a short payment is
  held for review instead of releasing goods.
• Removed the “Default Crypto Asset” setting — the customer picks, and a
  merchant-chosen default only suppressed that choice.
• Stores not selling in USD now hide PaySovra at checkout with an
  explanation, rather than converting the amount incorrectly.

1.2.1

• FIX: the default API address pointed at a host that does not exist, so a
  fresh install failed at checkout with “PaySovra connection failed” until
  the field was corrected by hand. Installs that already saved the bad value
  are repaired automatically on upgrade.

1.2.0

• Branded payment-method icon — PaySovra now shows its mark in the payment
  providers list and at checkout instead of a generic placeholder.
• Settings fields renamed to match the dashboard exactly: “Integration key”
  and “Signing secret”. The old labels named things that existed nowhere.
• The webhook notice now says which dashboard section to paste the address
  into, so “webhook” and “Get told when you’re paid” stop being two
  unconnected vocabularies.
• Installation instructions rewritten and now point at the full guide at
  https://paysovra.com/docs/woocommerce.

1.1.0

• Webhook signature verification aligned with PaySovra’s timestamped HMAC scheme (replay-protected).
• Handles payment.underpaid and payment.expired events — orders sync on every outcome.
• Cart & Checkout Blocks support.
• High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) compatibility declared.
• Coin list now loads live from your PaySovra account (with a full static fallback).
• Overpaid payments noted on the order; paid orders can never be regressed by a late event.

1.0.0

• Initial release: hosted payment redirect, payment.confirmed webhook, order sync.
