Scuntra for WooCommerce

Description

Scuntra for WooCommerce lets your store take crypto payments with a drop-in gateway:

  • 9 currencies — BTC, LTC, BCH, XMR, ETH and TRON, plus USDT (TRC-20 and ERC-20) and USDC (ERC-20). If you accept more than one, the customer picks at checkout.
  • Hosted invoice page — the customer is redirected to a secure Scuntra invoice with a live QR and status. Nothing sensitive touches your store.
  • Automatic order completion — when the payment reaches the required confirmations, Scuntra sends a signed webhook and the order flips to Processing/Completed on its own.
  • HMAC-verified webhooks — every callback is verified with HMAC-SHA256 against your per-store secret (timestamp + nonce + body), with a 5-minute replay window.
  • Live FX conversion — the order total in your store currency is converted to the chosen coin at checkout using Scuntra’s live ticker.
  • No KYC — funds settle to wallet addresses you nominate. Scuntra never asks for your customers’ identity.

This plugin talks to the Scuntra REST API. You need a Scuntra account (free) to get an Account ID and Webhook signing secret.

External services

This plugin connects to the Scuntra API to create and settle cryptocurrency payments. The
connection is required: without it there is no invoice for a customer to pay. The API host is
configurable in the plugin settings and defaults to https://scuntra.com.

Three interactions take place:

  1. Exchange rate, at checkout. When a customer selects a coin, the plugin requests the
    current rate with GET {host}/api/v2/ticker?currency={coin}&fiat={store currency}. Only the coin
    code and your store’s currency code are sent. No order or customer information is included.

  2. Invoice creation, when an order is placed. The plugin sends POST
    {host}/api/v2/accounts/{your account id}/invoices
    containing: the chosen coin, the converted
    amount, the invoice lifetime, the WooCommerce return URL for that order, your store’s webhook URL,
    your site name, the order number and the order ID. An idempotency key derived from the order ID,
    order total and coin is sent as a header so a retry cannot create a duplicate invoice.

  3. Payment notification, after the customer pays. Scuntra calls your store’s webhook URL. The
    plugin verifies an HMAC-SHA256 signature against your signing secret and updates the order. Nothing
    leaves your store during this step.

Customer personal data is never sent to Scuntra by this plugin — no names, email addresses,
billing or shipping addresses, and no card or wallet credentials. The customer pays on Scuntra’s
hosted invoice page, which is why nothing sensitive passes through your store.

Using this plugin means your store relies on the Scuntra service, governed by:

  • Terms of Service: https://scuntra.com/terms
  • Privacy Policy: https://scuntra.com/privacy

Installation

  1. In your Scuntra dashboard, open Integrations and copy your Account ID (scuntra-…) and Webhook signing secret.
  2. In WordPress, go to Plugins Add New Upload Plugin, choose scuntra-for-woocommerce.zip, then Install and Activate. (Requires WooCommerce 6.0+ and PHP 7.4+.)
  3. Go to WooCommerce Settings Payments Scuntra (Crypto) Manage.
  4. Tick Enable, paste your Account ID and Webhook signing secret, set your Accepted coins (comma-separated), and Save changes.
  5. Place a test order to confirm the flow end-to-end, then you’re live.

The webhook URL is shown in the settings screen (it’s https://your-store/?wc-api=wc_gateway_scuntra). Scuntra uses the per-invoice callback-url, so there is nothing extra to register.

FAQ

Do I need to run a node or hold the keys?

Funds settle to wallet addresses you nominate, or auto-forward to cold storage. The plugin only creates invoices and verifies webhooks.

How are prices converted to crypto?

At checkout, the order total in your store currency is converted to the chosen coin using Scuntra’s live ticker. The invoice has a short lifetime (default 1 hour) so the quote doesn’t drift.

When is an order marked paid?

On the completed webhook — i.e. after the payment reaches the coin’s required confirmations. Before that (paid/overpaid) the order is placed on hold (“payment seen, awaiting confirmation”).

What about refunds?

Crypto refunds are handled manually from your wallet for now; there is no automatic refund button in this version.

Contributors & Developers

“Scuntra for WooCommerce” is open source software. The following people have contributed to this plugin.

Changelog

1.2.2

  • Declares WooCommerce as a required plugin, so WordPress refuses activation without it
    instead of the gateway silently never registering.
  • Contributors now lists the WordPress.org account that owns the plugin.

1.2.1

  • Migrates the 1.1.x folder automatically. The pre-rename copy is deactivated on the next admin
    request instead of colliding with this one, so the two can no longer produce a fatal
    redeclaration error, and the store keeps taking payments throughout.
  • Gateway settings are now mirrored under a second option. The 1.1.x uninstall routine deletes the
    shared settings unconditionally, so deleting that old folder after migrating used to wipe a live
    store’s Account ID and webhook secret; they are now restored automatically if that happens.
  • This plugin’s own uninstall no longer deletes the shared settings while another copy is still
    installed.

1.2.0

  • Renamed for the WordPress.org Plugin Directory: the plugin folder, main file and text domain are
    now scuntra-for-woocommerce, because a directory slug may not begin with a trademarked term. The gateway id
    is unchanged, so your settings carry over untouched.
  • Documented every call made to the Scuntra API, with links to the terms and privacy policy, as the
    Plugin Directory guidelines require.
  • Declared compatibility with WordPress 7.1 and WooCommerce 11.1.

1.1.4

  • The “Accepted coins” description omitted bch and xmr, which the plugin has always accepted — merchants reading the field believed Bitcoin Cash and Monero were unsupported. All nine codes are now listed.
  • Invoice expiry is now recorded as an order note. The order status is deliberately unchanged, because a late payment to an expired invoice can still complete it.

1.1.3

  • Reworded the plugin description and FAQ to describe how funds actually move between the store, Scuntra and your wallet. No functional change.

1.1.2

  • Account IDs are now issued with the “scuntra-” prefix; the placeholder and setup text follow. Existing “crypto-” and “apr-” IDs keep working — no action needed if your store is already configured.

1.1.1

  • Fixed the Account ID placeholder and setup text, which still showed the legacy “apr-” prefix. New accounts are issued as “crypto-“; both remain valid.

1.1.0

  • Added Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Monero (XMR) — both were already live on the API but missing here, so configuring only those silently fell back to Bitcoin.
  • A configured coin this plugin does not recognise is now reported in the PHP error log, and an all-unsupported list raises an admin notice instead of silently invoicing in BTC.

1.0.0

  • Initial release: hosted-invoice checkout, coin picker, live FX conversion, HMAC-verified webhooks, automatic order completion, HPOS-compatible.
