In FastSpring App, create an API username and password under _Integrations > API Credentials_. Repeat for the test account. 2. Add a webhook in _Integrations > Webhooks_ pointing to the URL shown on the plugin’s Settings screen and copy the HMAC SHA256 secret. 3. Paste credentials, storefront ids and webhook secrets into _FastSpring > Settings_ in WordPress, choose your active mode, and click _Test connection_. ### Privacy Policy VMS Elements Payment Gateway with FastSpring for WooCommerce does not collect, store, or send any data to VMS Elements servers. Every outbound network call goes to FastSpring( Bright Market, LLC) — the payment processor you have chosen to integrate — and happens only after a site administrator has configured FastSpring API credentials in the plugin settings. #### Third-party services used by this plugin The plugin relies on FastSpring services to sell products and receive payment/subscription events. FastSpring is the payment processor and merchant of record; it is contacted whenever the plugin is configured with FastSpring credentials. * **FastSpring API** — Sends server-side HTTPS requests to `https://api.fastspring. com` to test the connection, create checkout sessions, provision products, resend invoices, and confirm order status. Provided by Bright Market, LLC (FastSpring). [Terms of Service](https://fastspring.com/terms-use/) · [Privacy Policy](https://fastspring.com/privacy/). * **FastSpring Store Builder Library** — Loads JavaScript from `https://sbl.onfastspring. com/` in the shopper’s browser during checkout so the FastSpring popup overlay can render. Provided by Bright Market, LLC (FastSpring). [Terms of Service](https://fastspring.com/terms-use/)· [Privacy Policy](https://fastspring.com/privacy/). * **FastSpring webhooks** — Receives inbound HTTPS POST requests from FastSpring when payment, subscription, or refund events occur. Each request is HMAC-SHA256 verified against the webhook secret you configure. Provided by Bright Market, LLC (FastSpring). [Terms of Service](https://fastspring.com/terms-use/) · [Privacy Policy](https://fastspring.com/privacy/). #### What data is sent For the FastSpring services the plugin sends ONLY: * Your FastSpring API username and password (server-to-server HTTPS Basic Auth) when calling the FastSpring API. * Cart line items (product paths, quantities, currency, and — when using the _single custom price_ or _per-product override_ pricing strategy — a price the merchant configured) to open a checkout session. * Customer contact details the shopper enters into the FastSpring popup (email address, name, and billing/shipping fields required by FastSpring to complete the sale). * Order and subscription IDs, plus WordPress order/reference tags, so FastSpring events can be matched back to WooCommerce orders. The plugin does NOT send WordPress user accounts, IP addresses, or any data unrelated to the transaction to FastSpring. #### Data stored locally The plugin writes only to the WordPress site database. The following options and custom tables may be created: * `vms_efpg_settings` — API credentials, storefront IDs, webhook secrets, and gateway settings. * `{prefix}vms_efpg_orders` — FastSpring order records synced from webhooks (order ID, customer email, totals, currency, status, timestamps). * `{prefix}vms_efpg_subscriptions` — Subscription state received from FastSpring webhook events. * `{prefix}vms_efpg_events` — Raw webhook event log used to make webhook processing idempotent. * `{prefix}vms_efpg_log` — Optional plugin diagnostics log (enable/disable in Settings). You can choose to keep or delete this data on uninstall via the _Keep data on uninstall_ setting. #### Cookies The plugin itself does not set any cookies. The FastSpring popup overlay (loaded from `sbl.onfastspring.com`) may set its own cookies as documented in FastSpring’s [Privacy Policy](https://fastspring.com/privacy/). #### GDPR Because the plugin only communicates with FastSpring after you configure FastSpring API credentials, your site becomes a “data processor” toward FastSpring only after that opt-in. FastSpring acts as the merchant of record for transactions completed through the popup overlay. We recommend disclosing FastSpring as a payment processor in your site’s own privacy policy. ### External services This plugin connects to FastSpring services to process payments, sync order data, and load the checkout experience. Each service is contacted only after a site administrator has configured FastSpring API credentials in the plugin settings. 1. **FastSpring API** — Used to test API credentials, create checkout sessions, provision products, and confirm payments. Server-side HTTPS requests are sent to `https:// api.fastspring.com` each time an admin saves credentials, a shopper opens the popup checkout, or a WooCommerce order is confirmed. Data sent: API credentials (Basic Auth), order totals, product paths, customer contact details supplied at checkout, and order metadata tags. Provided by Bright Market, LLC (FastSpring). [Terms of Service](https://fastspring.com/terms-use/)— [Privacy Policy](https://fastspring.com/privacy/). 2. **FastSpring Store Builder Library** — Used to render the FastSpring popup checkout on WooCommerce classic/block checkout and the checkout bridge page. JavaScript is loaded from `https://sbl.onfastspring.com/` in the shopper’s browser. Data sent: storefront identifier, Store Builder access key, cart line items, and customer contact details required to open checkout. Provided by Bright Market, LLC (FastSpring). [Terms of Service](https://fastspring.com/terms-use/) — [Privacy Policy](https://fastspring.com/privacy/). 3. **FastSpring webhooks** — Used to receive payment, subscription, and refund events. FastSpring sends inbound HTTPS POST requests to your WordPress site; each is HMAC- SHA256 verified with the webhook secret you configure and stored locally. Data received: order IDs, customer email, payment status, subscription state, and refund events. Provided by Bright Market, LLC (FastSpring). [Terms of Service](https://fastspring.com/terms-use/)— [Privacy Policy](https://fastspring.com/privacy/). ## Screenshots [⌊Analytics dashboard with credential check and stored order summary.⌉⌊Analytics dashboard with credential check and stored order summary.⌉[ Analytics dashboard with credential check and stored order summary.
