## Description

ByteWave Faktury is a plugin that integrates your WooCommerce store with the Polish
National e-Invoice System (KSeF), operated by the Polish Ministry of Finance.

The plugin allows you to generate structured XML e-invoices (FA(3) schema), validate
them and send them to KSeF — directly from the WooCommerce admin panel.

#### Features in the free version

 * Manual issuance of KSeF invoices from a WooCommerce order screen
 * XML generation compliant with the FA(3) schema
 * XSD validation of documents before sending
 * Sending invoices to KSeF (test and production environments)
 * Invoice status preview (sent, accepted, rejected)
 * Downloading UPO (Official Receipt Confirmation)
 * KSeF token encryption (XChaCha20-Poly1305) and session encryption (AES-256-CBC
   + RSA)
 * Settings panel with connection test
 * Private storage of XML and UPO files outside the uploads directory
 * Compatibility with HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) and classic CPT
 * Full Polish language support

#### Companion Pro plugin

ByteWave Faktury Pro is a separate companion plugin (not hosted on WordPress.org)

that adds advanced automation features when installed alongside the Free version:

 * Automatic invoice issuance after order payment
 * Bulk invoice issuance and sending (bulk actions)
 * Reports dashboard with statistics and KPIs
 * Operations audit log
 * KSeF availability monitoring with email alerts

The Pro plugin is distributed from the author’s website and is not required for

the Free version to work. More information: [https://ksef-woocommerce.pl/](https://ksef-woocommerce.pl/)

#### Requirements

 * WordPress 6.0 or newer
 * WooCommerce 8.0 or newer
 * PHP 7.4 or newer
 * PHP Sodium extension (libsodium) — required for token encryption
 * Active KSeF account with a generated authorization token

#### External services (Third-Party Services)

This plugin connects to one external third-party service. Full disclosure below.

**Service: Polish National e-Invoice System (KSeF), operated by the Polish Ministry
of Finance.**

What the service is and what it is used for:
 KSeF is the official electronic invoicing
system of the Republic of Poland (Krajowy System e-Faktur). This plugin uses the
KSeF API to submit structured XML invoices generated from WooCommerce orders, retrieve
their status, and download the official receipt confirmation (UPO, Urzędowe Poświadczenie
Odbioru). Communication with the KSeF API is the core functionality of this plugin
and the integration cannot be performed locally.

What data is sent, and under what circumstances:
 Data is transmitted to the KSeF
API only after explicit user action: clicking the “Wystaw fakturę” (Issue invoice)
button on an order, or when the WordPress cron worker processes a previously-queued
invoice that the user has manually created. The following fields are sent: seller
business data (Tax ID / NIP, company name, address), buyer business data (NIP or
personal identifier, name, address), invoice line items (product names, quantities,
unit prices, VAT rates, totals), invoice metadata (issue date, due date, payment
method, currency, invoice number). The encrypted KSeF API authorization token (configured
by the site owner in plugin settings) is sent in each request to authenticate the
connection. No usage analytics, telemetry, or personally identifiable data unrelated
to the invoice is transmitted.

API endpoints used:
 * Production: https://api.ksef.mf.gov.pl/v2 * Test (sandbox):
https://api-test.ksef.mf.gov.pl/v2

Service information and legal documents:
 * KSeF service homepage and terms of service:
https://www.podatki.gov.pl/ksef/ * Privacy policy of the Polish Ministry of Finance:
https://www.gov.pl/web/finanse/polityka-prywatnosci * KSeF API documentation (developer
zone): https://www.podatki.gov.pl/ksef/strefa-deweloperow/

This plugin does not communicate with any other external servers. It does not collect
analytics or telemetry, does not phone home, does not load remote assets, and does
not contact any author-owned backend.

## Installation

 1.  Download the plugin ZIP file.
 2.  In the WordPress admin go to: Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
 3.  Select the downloaded ZIP file and click “Install Now”.
 4.  Activate the plugin.
 5.  Go to KSeF > Settings.
 6.  Paste the KSeF authorization token (generated in the KSeF portal at podatki.gov.
     pl).
 7.  Set the seller Tax ID and choose the environment (test or production).
 8.  Click “Test connection” to verify the configuration.
 9.  Done — you can now issue KSeF invoices from WooCommerce orders.

#### System requirements

 * PHP 7.4+ with the Sodium extension (check in phpinfo())
 * WooCommerce 8.0+
 * SSL certificate (HTTPS) — required by the KSeF API
 * KSeF authorization token

## FAQ

### Does the plugin require WooCommerce?

Yes, the plugin requires WooCommerce installed and active in version 8.0 or newer.

### How do I obtain a KSeF token?

You generate the authorization token in the KSeF portal at podatki.gov.pl. A trusted
profile (ePUAP) or a qualified electronic signature is required.

### Is my data safe?

The KSeF token is encrypted with the XChaCha20-Poly1305 algorithm (libsodium) and
stored in the database in encrypted form. Communication sessions with KSeF are encrypted
using AES-256-CBC + RSA. XML and UPO files are stored in a private directory outside
public access.

### Does the plugin work with the KSeF test environment?

Yes. In the settings you can choose the environment: test (sandbox) or production.
We recommend starting with the test environment.

### Does the plugin work with HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage)?

Yes, the plugin is fully compatible with both HPOS and the classic order storage
mode (CPT).

### How does the free version differ from Pro?

This Free plugin provides manual invoice issuance directly from each WooCommerce
order screen, automatic queue processing for reliable delivery, and offline storage
when the KSeF API is temporarily unavailable. The optional companion Pro plugin (
distributed separately at ksef-woocommerce.pl) adds advanced automation features
such as auto-issue on order payment, bulk operations, reports dashboard, audit log
and email alerts.
