VibeFox Windcave for WooCommerce

Overview

VibeFox Windcave Payment Gateway adds payments through the Windcave Hosted Payment Page to WooCommerce, using the Windcave REST API. After placing the order, the customer is sent to the secure Windcave page, pays by card or by another method enabled on your Windcave account, and comes back to your store. Card data never touches your site.

It suits stores with a Windcave merchant account that want card payments without a card form on their own site, with the choice to take the money at once or only authorise it and capture later. The plugin has no subscriptions or recurring payments, no saved cards, no embedded card form on your site, and it does not work with the older PxPay 2.0 API.

Key features

Hosted Payment Page: a Windcave payment session is created for the order total in the order currency, with the correct number of decimals for every currency (for example NZD 25.50, JPY 3000, KWD 1.250).

Paid only when Windcave confirms: the customer's return and the Windcave notification are both checked on the server through the Windcave REST API. The payment is applied exactly once, even when both arrive at the same time.

Order check: the amount, currency, merchant reference and transaction type reported by Windcave are compared with the order. A mismatch puts the order on hold with a note.

Purchase or Auth: take the money immediately, or authorise it now and capture it later with the Capture Windcave payment order action.

Refunds: full and partial refunds from the WooCommerce order screen. A full refund of an uncaptured authorisation releases it.

Test mode: the Windcave UAT test environment with its own credentials, saved next to the production ones. Refunds and captures always go to the environment in which the order was paid.

No double charge: a new payment attempt first checks the previous one, and a second approved payment for a paid order is reported in an order note instead of changing the order.

Modern WooCommerce: classic checkout, Checkout block, the Pay for order page, HPOS. Log in WooCommerce with API keys, card data and personal data masked.

Requirements

WordPress 6.0 or later, WooCommerce 8.0 or later, PHP 8.0 or later. A Windcave merchant account with REST API credentials (username and API key) for the UAT test environment and/or production. A VibeFox license key from vibefox.net (one key per domain).
