XELIS WooCommerce Plugin: A New Frontier for E-commerce Payments

4 min read8 hours ago

The XELIS WooCommerce plugin is a game-changer for businesses looking to accept XELIS as a payment option in their online stores. Built to integrate with the popular WooCommerce platform, this plugin offers a seamless experience for both store owners and customers, making cryptocurrency payments simple and secure.

Key Features of XELIS WooCommerce Plugin

Easy Installation and Setup
Store owners can easily download and install the plugin through the WordPress admin dashboard. Once installed, the plugin can be activated with just a few clicks, provided that WooCommerce is already set up on the website.
Comprehensive Payment Flow
The customer payment process is streamlined, as shown in the flowchart. From selecting XELIS as a payment method to sending funds and validating the transaction, every step is designed for ease of use. A 30-minute payment window ensures that customers have ample time to complete their transactions before a new quote is required. The plugin handles various scenarios, such as incorrect payment amounts, expired payment windows, and network errors, with appropriate responses and automated refunds.
Hot Wallet and Cold Wallet Integration
The plugin utilizes a “hot wallet” on the website to receive payments. After transactions are confirmed, funds are automatically moved to the designated cold wallet address. This setup ensures that store owners can manage funds securely, with an option for manual or automatic fund transfers.
Transaction Monitoring and Error Handling
The plugin provides detailed logs and error tracking to help store owners address any issues that arise during payment processing. Network errors, request errors, and payment issues are all logged, ensuring that troubleshooting is straightforward.

Customer Payment Flow

To give a clearer understanding of how the XELIS payment process works, the flowchart below outlines the steps involved from initiating the payment to completing the transaction.

As illustrated, the process begins when a customer selects XELIS as the payment method during checkout. The plugin then requests an XEL/USD quote and initiates a 30-minute window for the customer to complete the transaction. The chart also details error-handling scenarios like incorrect payment amounts, network issues, and automatic refunds for failed transactions.

XELIS Payment Flow Breakdown

Payment Initiation: Customers select XELIS as the payment option during checkout. The plugin retrieves the current XEL/USD quote and opens a 30-minute window for payment.
Payment Processing: Customers send the exact amount to the displayed wallet address. If the transaction is valid and confirmed, the order is completed successfully.
Error Handling: The plugin handles various error scenarios, including network errors and incorrect payment amounts. Refunds are automatically issued when necessary, ensuring smooth resolution of payment issues.

The plugin’s settings page allows store owners to customize various features, including:

Wallet status monitoring: Displays the status of the connected wallet, including network type and wallet version.
Node endpoint configuration: Ensures the plugin connects to the correct blockchain network.
Whitelist tags: Enables store owners to specify which products can be purchased using XELIS.

Near Completion and Upcoming Features

The XELIS WooCommerce plugin is nearing completion, with just some final polishing before its release. A mock store is being launched on Testnet to ensure all functionalities are thoroughly tested. In addition, the plugin will eventually support one-click payments from XELIS wallet through the XSWD integration, streamlining the payment process even further.

Conclusion

The XELIS WooCommerce plugin is poised to offer businesses a straightforward solution for accepting cryptocurrency payments. Designed with ease of use and security in mind, it aims to provide a smooth payment experience for both store owners and customers. Stay tuned for the official release in the coming weeks!
