CipherPay for WooCommerce enables your store to accept fully shielded Zcash payments. Every transaction is private — no transparent addresses, no leaked metadata.

Features:

Non-custodial — payments go directly to your shielded address
Real-time payment detection via mempool scanning
Automatic order status updates via webhooks
Hosted checkout page — no sensitive data touches your server
HMAC webhook verification for security

How it works:

Customer selects “Pay with Zcash” at checkout
Plugin creates a CipherPay invoice via API
Customer is redirected to the CipherPay hosted checkout page
Customer scans the QR code and pays with their Zcash wallet
CipherPay detects and confirms the payment
Webhook fires and the WooCommerce order is marked as paid

External Service

This plugin connects to the CipherPay API to create payment invoices
and receive webhook notifications when payments are confirmed. The following data is sent to
CipherPay when a customer checks out:

Order total and currency
Customer shipping name and address (used to display on the invoice)

No data is sent unless a customer actively initiates a Zcash payment.

CipherPay website: https://cipherpay.app
Terms of Service: https://cipherpay.app/terms

If you are self-hosting CipherPay, data is sent to your own instance instead.
