== Changelog ==

= 1.1.9 =
* Fixed: the gateway settings could not be saved while enabling the gateway. The Public Key was discarded on save, so first-time setup could never be completed.
* Fixed: settings are no longer discarded when the gateway cannot be enabled. Your Public Key is kept, and the gateway simply stays switched off with an explanation.
* Fixed: the setup message about wallet addresses displayed raw HTML instead of readable text.
* Fixed: the fee rate shown in the settings and on the Stablezact dashboard could display 1.75% instead of your actual rate of 1%.
* Fixed: "Fee Charged To" could read "Customer", suggesting customers pay a surcharge. The fee is always deducted from your payout and never added to what the customer pays.
* Changed: "Fee Charged To" and "Current Fee Percentage" are now read-only. Both are set by Stablezact.
* Changed: the support link on the setup screen now points to the Stablezact contact page.
* Tested up to WordPress 7.1.

= 1.1.8 =
* Initial release on WordPress.org.

== Upgrade Notice ==

= 1.1.9 =

= 1.1.8 =
Initial release.

== External Services ==

This plugin connects to the Stablezact payment service (https://hub.stablezact.com), which is required for it to function as a payment gateway.

When a customer chooses to pay with Stablezact, the plugin sends the order amount, currency, an order reference, and your merchant public key to create and verify the payment. It also retrieves current exchange rates from the same service. No customer card details are ever handled, and no data is sent unless the customer selects this payment method. During payment, the customer's own wallet software connects to its blockchain network to complete the transaction.

The service is operated by Stablezact FINTECH LTD. By using this plugin you agree to Stablezact's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy:
