CipherPay for WooCommerce

CipherPay for WooCommerce enables your store to accept fully shielded Zcash payments. Every transaction is private — no transparent addresses, no leaked metadata. Features:

• Non-custodial — payments go directly to your shielded address
• Real-time payment detection via mempool scanning
• Automatic order status updates via webhooks
• Hosted checkout page — no sensitive data touches your server
• HMAC webhook verification for security

How it works:

1. Customer selects "Pay with Zcash" at checkout
2. Plugin creates a CipherPay invoice via API
3. Customer is redirected to the CipherPay hosted checkout page
4. Customer scans the QR code and pays with their Zcash wallet
5. CipherPay detects and confirms the payment
6. Webhook fires and the WooCommerce order is marked as paid

External Service This plugin connects to the CipherPay API to create payment invoices and receive webhook notifications when payments are confirmed. The following data is sent to CipherPay when a customer checks out:

• Order total and currency
• Customer shipping name and address (used to display on the invoice)

No data is sent unless a customer actively initiates a Zcash payment.

• Terms of Service: https://cipherpay.app/terms
• Privacy Policy: https://cipherpay.app/privacy

If you are self-hosting CipherPay, data is sent to your own instance instead.
