Changelog
1.2.0
- Updated the plugin listing and gateway labels to the supported payment methods (Stripe cards and PayPal).
- Clarified that funds settle directly into the merchant’s own connected account.
1.1.1
- Fixed webhook signature verification to match GembaPay’s signing exactly: the
signature is a bare HMAC-SHA256 hex string (no “sha256=” prefix) over the raw
request body. Previous versions prepended “sha256=” and rejected valid webhooks.
Update to 1.1.1 so order-paid webhooks are accepted.
1.1.0
- Order detail / status lookups now use the authenticated merchant API endpoints
(GET /api/merchant/payment/:orderId and /payment-status/:orderId) instead of the
public customer endpoints. Checkout and webhooks are unchanged. - readme: aligned stated requirements to WooCommerce 7.0 / PHP 8.0.
1.0.0
- Initial release
- Stripe integration (Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay)
- PayPal integration
- Webhook support for automatic order updates
- Transaction details on order page
