About this plugin
This gateway integrates WooCommerce with the Mada BNPL payment platform:
- On checkout it calls POST /engine/merchant/online/orders with your X-Merchant-Api-Key and redirects the shopper to Mada’s hosted checkout portal.
- The order is confirmed asynchronously by an HMAC-SHA256 signed ORDER webhook ( X-Signature: <hex> ).
- Supports both classic WooCommerce checkout and WooCommerce Checkout Blocks.
- Displays responsive promotional installment widgets on product and cart pages.

Webhook & Status Mapping
The webhook eventStatus maps to WooCommerce as:
Mada eventStatus
WooCommerce Result
SUCCESS
payment_complete (paid)
SETTLED
payment_complete (paid)
PENDING
on-hold
CANCELLED
cancelled
EXPIRED
failed
REJECTED
failed
Order Correlation
Each WooCommerce order is sent to Mada with reference_id = mg_{orderId}_{timestamp}, which Mada BNPL stores and echoes back in the ORDER webhook. The plugin resolves an incoming webhook to a WooCommerce order in this order:
- reference_id ( mg_{id}_{timestamp} ) -> WC order.
- Stored Mada orderId.
- Stored Mada orderReference.
- Stored checkoutId.
Reconciliation (Safety Net)
The webhook is the source of truth, but confirmation never depends on it alone:
- On the success return URL the plugin calls GET /engine/merchant/orders/{id} and confirms the order if payment status is completed.
- A 15-minute WP-Cron sweep ( mada_bnpl_reconcile_cron ) reconciles any pending Mada orders from the last 24h via their stored order IDs.
Branding / Appearance
The payment method renders as the Mada badge (logo + title + description) on both classic and Blocks checkout, matching the Mada design system. css; the logo is loaded from the environment CDN.
