Electroneum Instant Payments for WooCommerce

1. 

   The Electroneum QR code as displayed to the customer on checkout.

2. 

   The success message after payment has been confirmed.

3. 

   Plugin settings page, where you can enter your Electroneum vendor details.

Where do I sign up as an Electroneum Vendor?

Navigate to the Electroneum user vendor page and follow the prompts to enter your details and create a vendor outlet.

Where do I get my API credentials?

After signing up as a vendor on Electroneum’s website, your API key and API secret will be displayed on the user vendor page. Your vendor outlet ID will be displayed on the outlets page.

What is an API Webhook?

The API Webhook is a web address that you enter on your Electroneum vendor page, that points to a background page on your website. Electroneum sends payment information to this page every time a customer has made a payment. This enables automatic checking for payment confirmation in the background and streamlines the front-end user experience.

How do I set my API Webhook?

Navigate to the Electroneum user vendor page and insert the following webhook in the appropriate field:

https://yoursite.com/wc-api/electroneum_ips_gateway/

…replacing yoursite.com with your website’s main URL. Note that this URL must start with https://

What is the use of the “I’ve Made the Payment Button”?

Although the payments page will update automatically when a payment is received, the button is left in place for users who don’t have Javascript implemented, and for instances where the web developer has failed to enter the webhook callback URL on Electroneum’s website, or made a typo. Basically, the button serves as a backup for possible technology failures.

When using Safari, the payment page does not update automatically with a successful payment. What’s wrong?

The way in which the Safari browser treats SSL security certificates may cause front-end AJAX Javascript to fail and therefore the payment page won’t display a success message automatically, even though everything else works perfectly. A fix for this is to add the following line to your server’s .htaccess file:

BrowserMatch "Safari" nokeepalive

If you’re using an Nginx server, you can edit your server configuration by adding this code.

Note that customers can still get around this by clicking the “I’ve Made the Payment” button after payment, which should show them a success message.
