## Description

**Let people pay you in crypto from any page of your WordPress site: a consultation,
a donation, a tip or an article.**

Put one button on a page, set a price or let the visitor choose, and get paid in
USDT, USDC, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and other coins. Handy when your clients live
abroad: no card or bank transfer needed.

#### Who it is for

 * **Consultants and coaches:** a “Pay 50.00 USD with crypto” button under your 
   session details.
 * **Freelancers:** a deposit or a finished job, at the price you agreed.
 * **Writers and creators:** an article, a video or a download link that opens after
   payment.
 * **Bloggers and streamers:** tips, with your suggested amounts or any amount.
 * **Charities and communities:** donations, with amounts in USD, EUR or 13 other
   currencies.
 * **Small online services:** a one-off fee, or an invite link to a private group.

#### How your visitor pays

 1. They pick or type the amount, if you let them, and press the button.
 2. They choose a coin and pay from their wallet: right on your page, with a QR code,
    Copy buttons and a timer, or on the Cryptoway payment page, which can show your
    logo. You decide which.
 3. When Cryptoway confirms the payment, they see your thank-you message, your thank-
    you page or the content they paid for.

#### Peace of mind for you

 * **Paid means the money has arrived.** A payment is marked paid only after Cryptoway
   confirms the full amount. One that is too small or too late waits for your review.
 * **Where the money goes.** Payments go to your Cryptoway account, and you withdraw
   them to your own wallet.
 * **All payments in one place.** Your WordPress admin shows what each payment was
   for, what was asked, what arrived and where it stands.
 * **You hear about it.** Optional e-mails when a payment comes through or needs
   your attention.
 * **Paid content without memberships.** No accounts or passwords: buyers get an
   e-mail link that opens it on any device, and “Already paid?” sends it again.
 * **Fits your site.** The button follows your theme or your colours, and you can
   change its texts and the payment status messages.

#### What it costs

 * The plugin is free, with no ads.
 * Cryptoway takes a fee only on successful payments, with no setup fee and no monthly
   minimum. Rates are on the [pricing page](https://cryptoway.com/en/pricing).
 * You decide who pays that fee: you, your visitor, or both.
 * The visitor’s wallet adds the usual network fee; withdrawing from Cryptoway costs
   a fixed network fee.

#### Start in 3 steps

 1. **Create a [Cryptoway account](https://account.cryptoway.com/register)** and add
    your site as a project. Cryptoway reviews new projects; payments work once yours
    is approved. Your site must be live on the internet.
 2. **Install the plugin** and paste your Project ID and Secret key into Cryptoway 
    Payment  Settings.
 3. **Add the Cryptoway Payment block** to a page and publish. There is no test mode,
    so make one small real payment yourself and watch it turn Paid.

## Blocks

This plugin provides 1 block.

 *   Cryptoway Payment A pay-with-crypto button: a fixed or free amount, paid on
   the Cryptoway page or right here.

## Installation

 1. In Plugins  Add New Plugin, search for “Cryptoway”, install and activate Cryptoway
    Payment.
 2. In your Cryptoway account open Projects  your project  API keys. In Cryptoway Payment
    Settings paste the Project ID and Secret key and save. The plugin fetches the callback
    key by itself. If the Cryptoway plugin for WooCommerce or EDD is already on the
    site, one button copies the keys from it.
 3. Pick the currency and the time to pay (60 minutes by default) and whether you want
    an e-mail about paid payments and the ones that need your review.
 4. Add the “Cryptoway Payment” block to a page, or the shortcode `[cryptoway amount
    ="50"]`.
 5. Make one real payment for a small amount and check that it appears as Paid in Cryptoway
    Payment  Payments.

## FAQ

### How do I add a button?

In the block editor, add the “Cryptoway Payment” block and pick where the visitor
pays: on the Cryptoway page, or right on your site (coin, address and QR code under
the button). Everything else is in the block’s sidebar: a fixed amount or one the
visitor picks or types, the button label, what to show after the payment, which 
payer fields to ask for.

On a classic editor, in a widget or in a theme, use the shortcode:

 * `[cryptoway amount="50" currency="USD"]` — a fixed amount.
 * `[cryptoway amount="free" amounts="5,10,25" label="Support us"]` — the visitor
   picks or types the amount.
 * `[cryptoway amount="free" pay="onsite"]` — paid on your page: coin, address and
   QR code.
 * `[cryptoway amount="50" after="redirect" redirect="/thank-you/"]` — a thank-you
   page after the payment.
 * `[cryptoway amount="free" fields="name,email,message"]` — ask the payer for a
   name, an e-mail or a message.

Other parameters: `amount="0"` (the same as `amount="free"`: the visitor types the
amount), `min` (the smallest amount a visitor may type, 1 by default), `title` (
what the payment is for, shown on the invoice and in your list), `message` (shown
after the payment), `coins` (the coin ids offered for payment on the page, e.g. `
USDTTRC20,BTC`), `id` (the button’s own name, see paid content below), `class` (
your CSS class on the button’s wrapper).

### What do I need?

A Cryptoway account with a project approved by Cryptoway (nothing works while it
is in review). One project per site: Cryptoway accepts the keys only from the addresses
in the project’s Allowed IPs, and the plugin shows a notice in your admin when it
refuses them. WordPress 6.5 or later and PHP 8.1 or later, on a site reachable from
the internet; on a network of sites (multisite), set the plugin up on each site 
separately. The site must be able to send e-mail for your alerts and for the access
links of paid content.

### Can I show something only after payment?

Yes. In the block, set “After payment” to “Open hidden content on this page” and
put the paid content into the block under the button — text, a link, a video, a 
file, a promo code. Before payment that content is not sent to the browser at all:
it is not in the page, the feed or the site search (a search plugin that builds 
its own index may still pick it up). After the payment is confirmed it opens right
in place of the button and stays open in that browser for the access period you 
set (30 days by default). The payer’s e-mail is always asked for, as the big checkouts
do: a link that opens the content on any device goes there, and “Already paid?” 
under the button sends that link again. With the shortcode, put the content between
the tags and give the button its own `id`: `[cryptoway id="article-1" amount="3"
access="30"]Your paid text[/cryptoway]`. The block gets its id by itself.

Access is tied to the button, not to its texts: you can change the label, the price
or the paid content of a block (or of a shortcode with its own `id`) and those who
paid keep their access. A page opened before you changed the price or the access
period cannot be used to pay the old terms: the visitor is asked to reload it. Give
each paid button on a page its own `id`; when two share one, you see a warning above
the second while you are logged in. The plugin does not create accounts or memberships.
In Cryptoway Payment  Payments you can close a payer’s access by hand (after a refund)
or open it for a payment you settled with the payer yourself.

Files you upload into the paid part are kept out of the public media lists and attachment
pages, but anyone who has a file’s direct link can open it. For a file that must
stay private, put a link to a private storage into the paid part instead. Keep footnotes
out of the paid part: WordPress shows a post’s footnotes to every visitor.

The paid part is hidden by the plugin. If you deactivate it, WordPress shows the
paid part of a block, and the text between the shortcode tags, to every visitor:
take it off the page, or make the page private, before you deactivate the plugin.

### Can I change how the button looks?

By default the button looks like the other buttons of your theme. In the block’s
sidebar (Looks) you can set the button colour, the text colour, the corner radius
and make it full width; the shortcode takes the same: `[cryptoway amount="50" color
="#1f8a5b" text_color="#ffffff" radius="8" width="full"]`. For payment on the page
the QR code can be switched off in the block (Payment settings) or with `qr="no"`
in the shortcode. “Frame around the form” (or `frame="yes"`) puts the whole form
in a card with a border and padding; a card is at most 30em wide, align the block
wide or full to let it grow. A custom CSS class works too (the block’s Advanced 
panel, or `class` in the shortcode).

### How do I style it with my own CSS?

Every element has a stable class. The wrapper is `.cwbtn`, with modifiers `.cwbtn--
page` / `.cwbtn--onsite` (where the payment happens), `.cwbtn--full`, `.cwbtn--size-
small` / `.cwbtn--size-large`, `.cwbtn--colored`, `.cwbtn--rounded`, `.cwbtn--framed`.
Inside the form: `.cwbtn__form`, `.cwbtn__amount` (the amount fieldset), `.cwbtn__chips`
and `.cwbtn__chip` (suggested amounts; `.cwbtn__chip--custom` is “Other amount”),`.
cwbtn__input`, `.cwbtn__currency`, `.cwbtn__hint`, `.cwbtn__row` and `.cwbtn__label`(
coin and payer fields), `.cwbtn__select`, `.cwbtn__button`, `.cwbtn__error`. After
the click: `.cwbtn__panel`, `.cwbtn__status` (plus `--paid`, `--expired`, `--cancelled`,`--
failed`), `.cwbtn__amount-line`, `.cwbtn__pay`, `.cwbtn__field`, `.cwbtn__field-
label`, `.cwbtn__field-value`, `.cwbtn__copy`, `.cwbtn__timer`, `.cwbtn__qr`, `.
cwbtn__link`, `.cwbtn__again`. The button colour, text colour and radius set in 
the block come as the CSS variables `--cwbtn-accent`, `--cwbtn-accent-text` and `--
cwbtn-radius`; the frame’s radius is `--cwbtn-frame-radius`. Put your rules in Appearance
Customize  Additional CSS or in your theme.

### Can I change the texts visitors see?

Yes. The form texts (the button, the amount label, “Other amount”, the coin and 
payer fields) are edited right in the block, or with the shortcode parameters `label`,`
amount_label`, `other_label`, `coin_label`, `name_label`, `email_label`, `message_label`.
The status lines shown after the click — “Waiting for your payment”, “Payment received,
confirming”, “Your payment is being checked” and so on — are in Cryptoway Payment
Payment statuses: leave a field empty to keep the standard wording (in the site 
language once a translation is available), or type your own.

### Which coins can visitors pay with?

Visitors pay with the coins Cryptoway accepts; the plugin refreshes that list once
a day. At the moment: USDT on Tron (TRC-20), Ethereum (ERC-20), BNB Smart Chain (
BEP-20), Polygon, Arbitrum, The Open Network and Solana; USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20)
and Solana; BTC; ETH on Ethereum and Arbitrum; LTC; TRX; BNB on BNB Smart Chain;
POL; SOL; DOGE; GRAM on The Open Network. On the Cryptoway payment page the visitor
picks the coin there. In Settings you can allow fewer coins, and a button can offer
its own list with `coins="..."`.

### Who pays the fees?

There are two. The Cryptoway fee is charged on each successful payment; rates are
on the [pricing page](https://cryptoway.com/en/pricing), and in your project’s Fees
and markup you choose whether you or the payer pays it, or both share it. The network
fee is added by the payer’s wallet on top of the amount.

### What if the visitor pays less, more, or late?

 * Less: the payment is marked Underpaid at once, with what was invoiced, what arrived
   and what is missing. If the rest arrives in time, it becomes Paid.
 * More: the payment is marked Paid. Above a small tolerance, the history shows 
   the overpaid amount to return from your Cryptoway account.
 * Nothing within the time to pay: the payment expires.
 * Late, after the time ran out: the payment is marked “Paid after the time ran 
   out” for your review; the money is with Cryptoway.

### How does payment on my page work?

The visitor chooses a coin and a network, and the plugin asks Cryptoway for an invoice
with that coin. Cryptoway answers with the address and the exact amount in the coin,
which the page shows with a QR code and a timer. The page checks the status by itself
and shows “paid” once Cryptoway confirms the transfer.

### Can I test without real money?

No, there is no test mode. Make one real payment a little above the coin’s minimum
deposit (about 1 USDT) and pay from your own wallet. Network and Cryptoway fees 
apply.

### How do I refund a payment?

From your Cryptoway account, as a new transfer to an address the payer gives you.
The plugin does not send refunds.

### Where are my keys, and what is sent to Cryptoway?

The keys are stored in the plugin’s settings on your site. The Secret key is not
shown again, not sent (it only signs requests) and not logged.

When a visitor presses the button, the plugin asks the Cryptoway API (api.cryptoway.
com) for an invoice: the amount and currency, what the payment is for (its title,
the payment number and your site’s name), the coin if the visitor chose one on your
page, the time to pay, the address of your site for the notification and for the
return. When the payment is paid, expired or cancelled, Cryptoway sends a notification
to your site, and the plugin reads the invoice back from the API. The plugin also
reads the invoice when you press “Check with Cryptoway”, when a visitor’s page checks
the status, and every 10 minutes for open payments. After you save the keys, the
plugin asks the API for the project profile (to get the callback key that signs 
notifications) and for the list of coins.

Nothing about the visitor is sent: not the name, e-mail or message you may ask for,
and not the IP address. Cryptoway’s [Terms](https://cryptoway.com/en/legal/terms)
and [Privacy policy](https://cryptoway.com/en/legal/privacy) apply to the service.

### A payment did not update. What can I check?

 * Payment notifications arrive at `https://your-domain/wp-json/cryptoway-button/
   v1/webhook`. It must be reachable from the internet.
 * The status check every 10 minutes needs WP-Cron, which runs on site visits unless
   a server cron job calls it.
 * Open the payment in Cryptoway Payment  Payments and press “Check with Cryptoway”.
   The history says what happened.
 * Recent errors are listed at the bottom of Cryptoway Payment  Settings.

### My site is behind a proxy or a CDN. Anything to set?

The plugin limits how many payments one visitor can start in ten minutes, by the
visitor’s address. Behind a proxy or a CDN that does not pass the visitor’s real
address to WordPress, all visitors share the proxy’s address and the limit. Pass
the real address with the filter `cryptoway_button_client_ip` (from the header your
proxy always sets), or let the proxy restore it.
