Frequently Asked Questions Does this store my private keys? No. This plugin uses KPUB (Extended Public Key) only. Private keys and mnemonics are never stored or required. Can I spend from addresses generated by this plugin? Yes, but not through WordPress. This plugin is watch-only. To spend funds, use your wallet software (Kaspium) where you control the private keys. How does payment detection work? The plugin polls the Kaspa API to check if funds have been received at the order payment address. When the required amount is detected, the order is automatically completed. What happens if the exchange rate changes? Payment amounts update in real-time based on current exchange rates. Customers see the latest KAS amount on the checkout page. Will addresses appear in my Kaspium wallet? Yes. Addresses are generated sequentially starting from index 0, so they automatically appear in Kaspium wallets which scan low indices.
