External Services

This plugin relies on external services to handle customer payments securely. Below is a detailed explanation of what data is sent, when, and why.

VGS (Very Good Security)

What it is: VGS provides PCI-compliant secure iframes for collecting sensitive card data. Card information is collected directly by VGS and tokenized before being sent to Cheqpay.

When used: Only when using the “Card Payment” method. VGS Collect.js is loaded on the checkout page to render secure card input fields.

What data is sent: Card number, expiration date, and CVV are entered directly into VGS-hosted iframes and tokenized. Your server never sees the raw card data.

Cheqpay Payment API

What it is: Cheqpay’s Payment API is used to create payment links and process payment transactions.

When data is sent: Data is sent to Cheqpay when:
– A customer clicks “Place Order” at checkout (to create a payment link or process card payment)
– An administrator processes a refund from the WooCommerce admin panel
– The plugin verifies payment status after a customer returns from the payment page

What data is sent:
– Order information (order ID, products, quantities, prices, total amount, currency)
– Product details (product names, descriptions, image URLs)
– Customer billing address (first name, last name, company, email, phone, street address, city, state, postal code, country)
– Customer shipping address (first name, last name, company, street address, city, state, postal code, country)
– Redirect URL (to return customers to your store after payment)
– Tokenized card data (for Card Payment method – raw card data is never sent)

Cheqpay Hosted Payment Page (HPP)

What it is: Cheqpay’s secure hosted payment page where customers enter their payment details and complete transactions.

When used: Only when using the “Payment Link” method. Customers are redirected to this page after placing an order to complete payment.

What data is sent: The payment link ID is sent via URL parameter when redirecting customers.

Cheqpay Webhooks

What it is: Cheqpay’s webhook system sends real-time payment status updates to your store.

When data is received: Webhooks are received when payment status changes (success, failure, pending).

What data is received: Payment status, order reference, payment amount, currency, and payment method type.

What’s the difference between Payment Link and Card Payment?

Payment Link redirects customers to Cheqpay’s hosted payment page to enter their card details. Card Payment allows customers to enter card details directly on your checkout page using secure PCI-compliant fields.

Is this plugin secure?

Yes! For Payment Link, customers enter card details on Cheqpay’s secure hosted page. For Card Payment, card data is collected via VGS (Very Good Security) secure iframes and never touches your server. All transactions use server-side verification.

Does this work with WooCommerce blocks?

Yes! The plugin is fully compatible with both classic checkout and the new block-based checkout experience.

Is this a Software as a Service (SaaS)?

Yes, this plugin connects to Cheqpay’s hosted payment page service for payment processing. By using this plugin, you agree to Cheqpay’s Terms of Service. For more information, visit https://cheqpay.mx/terminos

Can I process refunds?

Yes! You can process both full and partial refunds directly from the WooCommerce order page.

What are webhooks and why do I need them?

Webhooks allow Cheqpay to notify your store when payment status changes, even if the customer closes their browser before being redirected back. This ensures orders are always updated accurately.
