Coinvay Payments

Coinvay Payments connects WooCommerce to the Coinvay hosted crypto payment service. Customers open a hosted checkout, select a supported coin/network and send payment to the merchant’s configured receiving wallet. Coinvay verifies blockchain confirmation; this plugin checks the matching invoice before updating the WooCommerce order.

The plugin code is free and included in full. A Coinvay merchant account and configured receiving wallets are required. Coinvay offers Free, Pro and Enterprise service plans. Service features, API-key/invoice allowances and any subscription prices are shown at https://coinvay.com/pricing. Blockchain network fees are separate. Installing this plugin does not purchase a plan or enable customer checkout automatically.

Features:

• Classic WooCommerce checkout and Checkout Blocks registration.
• Settings shortcut on the Installed Plugins page.
• Manual API-key setup or explicit account authorization through Connect to Coinvay.
• Store-specific business name, logo and payment webhook.
• Supported WooCommerce order currencies are priced in USD at invoice creation; original and locked USD totals are checked before order completion.
• Authenticated invoice reconciliation, signed webhooks on eligible Coinvay plans and background polling.
• HPOS order API compatibility declarations.

Crypto/network availability depends on Coinvay’s current supported contracts, the merchant’s configured receiving wallets and provider availability. Payment confirmation is not guaranteed to be instant. No seed phrase or wallet private key is required by this plugin. Customers approve their own payments.

This plugin handles one-time orders. Automatic refunds and WooCommerce Subscriptions recurring debits are not included. Refunds require the merchant’s separate wallet transfer and order bookkeeping.

External service and privacy

This plugin uses the Coinvay API at https://coinvay.com to create and verify hosted invoices, authorize account connections and store checkout branding. A configured HTTPS Coinvay origin can be used for an independently hosted compatible gateway.

After an administrator configures/authorizes the service, the plugin sends the store URL, installation identifier, callback/webhook URLs and selected business name/logo when connecting or saving branding. Automatic authorization requires the administrator to sign in to Coinvay and approve the displayed store and permissions. Credentials remain on the WordPress backend; automatic connection credentials are encrypted using the installation’s authentication salt.

When an order is paid through this gateway, the plugin sends its order reference, trusted amount/currency and billing name/email when available to Coinvay. It receives an invoice ID, hosted checkout URL and payment status. Coinvay hosts the customer’s payment screen. The plugin verifies signed notifications and/or polls the invoice to reconcile the saved order. Successful browser navigation alone never marks an order paid.

The plugin does not include analytics/advertising pixels, does not collect wallet private keys and does not insert a tracking script on the store. Coinvay service terms and privacy information:
