ePayVista Payments — High-Risk Payment Processor for WooCommerce

Changelog

2.7.11

• Listing update: 5th tag swapped from „woocommerce“ to „payment processing“; External Services section condensed to a single compliant disclosure (no more raw endpoint URLs); added instant-approval / no-KYC / 100% self-serve onboarding messaging to the description, features, and a new FAQ entry. No functional changes.

2.7.10

• Listing update: wordpress.org only indexes the first 5 tags, so the tag list is now the 5 highest-intent terms (payment gateway, payment processor, high risk, credit card, woocommerce). Repositioned copy for any ecommerce business (not just high-risk), with the flat ~1% fee stated up front. No functional changes.

2.7.9

• Corrected the External Services disclosure: the onboarding endpoint listed was a stale pre-launch URL — the plugin has called pay.epayvista.com for this since its current release. No functional changes.

2.7.8

• Listing update only: repositioned as a high-risk payment processor (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay first; crypto payment noted as an additional option). No functional changes.

2.7.7

• Fixed: the „Card & Wallets“ and „Credit / Debit Card“ single-method checkout options (and their Cart/Checkout Blocks equivalents) now correctly hide themselves when an order is under THAT method’s own minimum, instead of an unrelated lower threshold. Previously a too-small order could show a card option that always failed.
• Card checkout error messages now state the actual dollar minimum instead of a raw error code.

2.7.6

• Re-added Ethereum as a „Card settlement network“ option (now properly gas-funded and safety-gated with a $20 order minimum). Fixed card settlement to actually honor the selected network — Polygon and Ethereum previously silently settled on Base regardless of the setting.

2.7.5

• Fixed the All-in-One gateway’s default title/description, which incorrectly read „Apple Pay / Credit Card“ — it now correctly describes the full checkout (crypto, card, and exchange). Existing stores are corrected automatically on update unless the title/description was customized.

2.7.4

• Card payments now default to USDC on Base (Ethereum removed) so they always settle instantly at the low network fee.
• Removed the „Bank & Local Payment Methods“ option.

2.7.3

• Removed the pre-emptive „$20 minimum“ checkout notice: card now settles via a lower-minimum onramp, and the network minimum is already enforced by hiding the method for too-small orders. No more misleading warning.

2.7.2

• Hide the gateway and show a clear message for orders under the network minimum, instead of a generic checkout error.

2.7.1

• The cart now survives the payment page: customers who go back to retry or switch payment methods no longer find an empty cart.
• The payment page gains a „Back to store / change payment method“ link and, after paying, a „Return to store“ button that completes the order flow.

2.7.0

• Multi-currency support: stores in any major currency now work — orders are converted to USD at checkout with a dual-source, cross-checked exchange rate that is locked per order.
• Checkout shows the USD amount before paying, and the locked rate is recorded on the order.
• USD stores are completely unaffected.

2.6.3

• Payments now settle through ePayVista’s upgraded 1% settlement engine (same checkout, lower cost).
• Connect now pins the correct gateway endpoint automatically – no manual API Base changes needed.
• Faster, more reliable onboarding connection.

2.6.2

• Single-method checkouts now go straight into the payment flow: when a customer picks one of the ePayVista method modules (for example „Credit / Debit Card“), the hosted page opens that method automatically — no extra selection step.
• New central settings page at WooCommerce → ePayVista: your payout wallet, Connect button, API base, and debug logging now live in one dedicated place shared by every ePayVista payment method. Each payment method’s own card keeps just its enable toggle, title, description, and method-specific options.
• Fixed the module settings pages showing the method name twice.

2.6.1

• New „Card settlement network (Stripe)“ setting: choose whether „Pay by card“ purchases settle as USDC on Ethereum (default), Base, or Polygon — available on the all-in-one gateway and on the Pay by Card module. You are paid USDC either way, and the buyer can still switch networks in the card flow.
• Clearer module settings: each single-method module now shows its live connection status and payout wallet, explains that it uses the main ePayVista connection, and links straight to the main settings.
• The all-in-one gateway is now labelled „ePayVista Payments (All-in-One)“ in the admin payment methods list so it is easy to tell apart from the single-method modules.

2.6.0

• New: each hosted payment option can now be enabled as its OWN payment method at your WooCommerce checkout — „Credit / Debit Card“, „Card & Wallets“, „Bank & Local Payment Methods“, „Pay via Crypto Exchange“, and „Pay with Crypto“ appear as separate choices, and the customer lands on the hosted page already set to the method they picked.
• All five modules are off by default and share the main ePayVista connection — connect once, enable any mix. The existing all-in-one gateway (with its per-method tick boxes) is unchanged.
• Cart/Checkout Blocks support for every module.

2.5.6

• The „Checkout experience“ setting is now per-method: tick exactly which payment options appear on the hosted checkout — Pay by card (Stripe), Card & wallets, Cards/Wallets/Banks & local methods, Buy on an exchange, and „Already have crypto?“ (send from any wallet). Leave everything ticked (the default) to show all options and let the customer choose.
• Stores that used the previous single-choice selector keep the same result automatically until they open the settings and pick per method.
• No changes to payment, settlement, or tracking behaviour.

2.5.5

• New „Checkout experience“ setting: keep the full hosted checkout (default) or pre-select a single method — card only, crypto only, or wallet on-ramp only — for your customers. Existing stores are unchanged unless you switch it.
• Verified conditional asset loading: the admin Connect script loads only on the ePayVista settings screen, the live payment tracker only where its widget renders, and the Blocks script only in the block checkout — nothing from this plugin loads on ordinary front-end pages.
• Confirmed compatibility with the current WordPress and WooCommerce releases (HPOS and Cart/Checkout Blocks). No changes to payment, settlement, or tracking behaviour beyond the optional checkout-experience preference above.

2.5.4

• Added the required translators comments to the two placeholder strings flagged by Plugin Check (WordPress.WP.I18n.MissingTranslatorsComment). No functional changes.

2.5.3

• Compliance: all JavaScript is now registered and loaded with wp_enqueue_script() and passed data via wp_localize_script()/data attributes, instead of inline tags (the admin „Connect“ button and the live payment tracker).
• Compliance: every translatable string now uses the „epayvista-payments“ text domain so it matches the plugin slug and can be translated through the directory.
• No changes to payment, settlement, or tracking behaviour.

2.5.2

• ePayVista now supports USD-priced stores only: the payment method is hidden at checkout when your store currency is not USD, with a clear admin reminder.
• Safer handling of duplicate payment callbacks: a re-sent „paid“ notification can no longer reopen an order you have already cancelled, and an expired/cancelled notification no longer overrides a status you set manually.
• Fixed the „track your payment“ link in order emails so it works for guest customers too.
• Payout wallet changes are now validated on save, and a reminder appears if you edit the wallet without clicking Reconnect (settlements keep going to your previous wallet until you do).
• Clearer checkout copy: sets the photo-ID verification and timing expectation, and warns when an order is under the payment provider’s $20 card minimum (with the option to pay by sending crypto directly).
• Expired or failed payments now show a „Restart payment“ link, and the customer gets a one-time email with a pay-again link.

2.5.1

• Clearer payout-wallet guidance on the settings screen: use a self-custody wallet you control (never an exchange deposit address), and a note that payouts settle as stablecoins (USDC/USDT) on Ethereum, Base, or Polygon.

2.5.0

• New: Live payment tracking — order panel, customer order-received widget, email tracking link, and [epayvista_track] shortcode. Shows status, network, confirmations, transaction hash, and a block-explorer link.

2.3.0

• Settlement payout model; per-merchant signed callback secret for verified confirmations.

2.2.0

• Self-serve onboarding — enter your wallet, click Connect, account provisioned automatically.
