About this plugin
BareBits makes it easy for your WooCommerce shop accept Bitcoin — on-chain and over the Lightning Network — with funds going straight to wallets you control. No payment processor account, no approval process, no chargebacks. Low 1% fee.

Requests carry the keys the two sides exchanged when you paired them (API key, cron key, sign-on key) and the WooCommerce order data needed to take payment (amounts, currency, order IDs, invoice status). This traffic goes only to your own server — no third party is involved and nothing reaches BareBits.
