Adds the PAYARC Payment Gateway to your WooCommerce site.

== Description ==
PAYARC is a payment processing provider offering credit processing merchant accounts and tools to enable smart and safe transactions.
With their client-centered and technology-driven payment platform, they empower merchants and customers to make smarter decisions, optimize their organization’s processes, and scale their businesses – one payment at a time.

Integrated directly into the PAYARC gateway and leveraging the latest PCI Scope reducing technology, merchants can now accept their payments easily and safely.

The platform is equipped to handle different types of transactions with ease, ensuring a seamless process and a positive experience for your customers.

The payarc.js JavaScript is used for the PAYARC Payment Gateway's Hosted Checkout page. This page provides a modal that enables credit card details to be captured without going through the WordPress installation.
This increases the PCI Compliance level of the WordPress/WooCommerce installation and reduces the liability of the merchant. This is an optional checkout method that the merchant can enable in the plugin settings.
