## Description

The [Shift4 for WooCommerce plugin](https://dev.shift4.com/docs/plugins/woo-commerce/)
enables payments in your WooCommerce store using two methods: Apple Pay and card
payments processed by Shift4. By leveraging this plugin, you will be able to accept
payments safely and securely.

Features:
 * Credit Card Payments * Saved Cards * Apple Pay * 3D Secure * Full &
Partial Refunds * Automatic settlement or authorise-only transactions * WooCommerce
Classic Checkout * WooCommerce Block-based Checkout * Order via admin * Fraud detection
and prevention

### Configuration

WooCommerce > Settings > Payments

This configuration is shared across both Card and Apple Pay sections, therefore 
it only needs to be updated and configured in one area and the settings will be 
shared.
 * **Public Key** – Your Shift4 account Public Key. This can be located 
in your Shift4 account under Account Settings > API Keys. * **Secret Key** – Your
Shift4 account Secret Key. This can be located in your Shift4 account under Account
Settings > API Keys. * **Capture Strategy** – To set the capture of the payment 
to be immediate or set it to authorise-only to be captured manually later. * **Debug
Logging** – With debug logging enabled, all data about charge requests will be recorded
to Shift4_Payments so that unexpected behaviour can be identified. When debug is
disabled, decline responses will still be recorded.

Shift4 Card Payment
 * **Enable / Disable** – To enable or disable card payments
via Shift4. * **Title** – Title of the payment method that will show in the checkout
to the customer. * **3DS Mode** – To enable or disable 3DS2 verification on card
payments. * **Disabled** – 3DS is completely disabled. * **Frictionless** – 3DS 
will only be used if the card supports it. * **Strict** – Only cards that support
3DS will be permitted. * **Card Vaulting** – To enable the ability for logged-in
customers to save their card details to use on future transactions.

### External Services

This plugin connects to external services to enable its functionality:

**Apple Pay**
 The plugin integrates with the Apple Pay API to provide Apple Pay
functionality on your WooCommerce store. This requires loading the Apple Pay JavaScript
SDK from the following domain: – `https://applepay.cdn-apple.com`

The Apple Pay SDK is used to securely process payments via Apple Pay. No sensitive
payment information is sent to your server; all sensitive data is handled by Apple
Pay and Shift4.

For more information, refer to:
 – [Apple Pay Terms of Service](https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/terms/site.html)–
[Apple Pay Privacy Policy](https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/)

**Shift4 API**
 The plugin communicates with the Shift4 API to process payments 
and manage transactions. This requires sending the following data: – Payment details(
e.g., card token, Apple Pay token) – Order details (e.g., total amount, currency)

Integration requires loading the Shift4 JavaScript SDK from the following url: https://
js.dev.shift4.com/shift4.js

The Shift4 API is hosted at:
 – `https://api.shift4.com`
