Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

RedFace Pay for WordPress connects your site to the RedFace Platform via Commerce API.

  • One login — same merchant identity across every RedFace plugin
  • Modular — only Payments loads in this release
  • Connection wizard — account, API key, business, ready
  • Webhooks — require a configured secret and x-redface-signature HMAC verification
  • Shortcode — [redface_pay_button amount="99.00" currency="ZAR"]

You are not installing a standalone payment gateway. Business logic lives on RedFace; this plugin is a thin, secure client.

Configuration

  • Merchant ID — UUID of your RedFace business
  • API Key — rf_live_… from Account → Developers (never commit to version control)
  • Webhook URL — copy from Settings into your RedFace webhook dashboard
  • Mode — Sandbox for testing, Live for production

External services

This plugin connects to the RedFace Commerce API to create payment sessions and receive webhooks.

What is sent and when

  • When a customer pays, the plugin sends your configured Merchant ID and authenticates with your API key (stored in WordPress options).
  • Payment payloads may include amount, currency, customer email, and order metadata.
  • A connection test ( ping ) runs when you complete the connection wizard or test settings in wp-admin.

Troubleshooting

  • API Status offline — verify API key, merchant ID, and that your key is active in RedFace Account.
  • Webhooks failing — confirm webhook secret matches Settings and your site is reachable over HTTPS.
  • Pay button does nothing — complete the Connection wizard and confirm payments scope on your API key.
