WeeConnectPay – Clover Payment Gateway for WooCommerce

Ändringslogg

4.13.1

• Fixed: On some stores the product list could show the same product more than once, which also prevented the inventory link check from completing. Each product now appears once, with the same price and stock settings WooCommerce shows.
• Improved: Compatibility fixes.

4.13.0

• Improved: The transaction modes are renamed for what they actually do. ”Authorization + Capture” is now ”Charge at checkout”, ”Authorization Only” is now ”Hold and charge later”, and ”Orders + Payment” is now ”Order and charge”. Your current mode is unchanged and nothing needs to be reconfigured.
• Improved: The stock sync modes and the tax reporting choices are renamed the same way. Stock sync now reads Off, Preview only, Follow Clover and Two-way; tax reporting now reads Off, Total only and Each rate by name.
• Improved: The settings and setup wizard now describe every choice by what you get from it rather than how the payment is built, and both use the same names for the same setting.
• Improved: A paused product link now says in one line why sales are not counted against a Clover item, and what to change to fix it.
• Improved: A card that fails 3-D Secure verification now says the card could not be verified with the bank, instead of reporting it as an ordinary decline. The order note tells you nothing is wrong with your store.
• Improved: Locked stock sync modes now explain, right at the mode you reached for, which plan they need and that your saved choice is kept.
• Improved: The selected station in the settings status strip is now clearly marked, and the panel below it names the station it is describing.
• Improved: Card details and connection credentials are no longer written anywhere they can be read from the browser or from an order’s stored data.
• Improved: The card entry page now loads its payment scripts only from WeeConnectPay and Clover addresses, and keeps any security attributes your site adds to them.
• Improved: The reCAPTCHA request no longer carries your WordPress version to Google, and the Privacy and Data Collection section now lists Google as a data recipient.
• Improved: The connection environment can only be set to a secure address.
• Improved: A 3-D Secure payment is now tied to the exact transaction it was started for, and an attempt that is interrupted and retried by the shopper cannot become a second charge.
• Improved: A refund that could not finish in the time available is now refused before it is sent, rather than being interrupted partway.
• Improved: Catalog jobs that run over large inventories are now processed in bounded batches so they complete reliably.
• Improved: The Logs tab opens quickly even on very large debug logs, and the log download returns the most recent entries.
• Improved: The plugin package no longer includes files that are only needed to build it.
• Fixed: The sign-in card no longer shrinks and springs back while your pairing code is being generated.
• Fixed: Parts of the plugin were still showing English text when WordPress was set to French. The French translation now covers the whole settings area, the setup wizard, Inventory Tools, and the notes added to your orders.
• Fixed: If the payment provider cannot be reached during checkout, the shopper now sees a clear message and the order records what happened, instead of a site error.
• Fixed: Shoppers no longer see technical text when a payment response cannot be read. They now see the standard message, in their language.
• Fixed: 3-D Secure verification now records the outcome on the order in every case, including when the shopper abandons it or the result cannot be confirmed, and the reason from the bank is shown instead of a generic one.
• Fixed: A refund that completes at Clover is now always recorded on the order, with a note, even when WooCommerce cannot create the refund record itself.
• Fixed: Releasing an uncaptured authorization is now recorded as a release and the order is set to Cancelled. It no longer creates a refund line, marks the order Refunded, adds to Analytics refunds, or emails the customer about a refund.
• Fixed: A refund can no longer exceed the amount remaining on a transaction, and two refunds for the same transaction can no longer run at the same time.
• Fixed: The order refund path no longer reports an error after the money has already moved, and every refund outcome now writes an order note.
• Fixed: A capture can no longer exceed the amount originally authorized, the order note shows the amount actually captured, and a capture that Clover declines can be retried right away instead of waiting.
• Fixed: On orders paid with more than one payment method, the card transaction is now recorded for the amount the card actually took.
• Fixed: When the result of a gift card or other custom payment method cannot be confirmed, it is now recorded as unconfirmed rather than failed, and the order says so.
• Fixed: Whether a transaction can be refunded or voided is now decided by the recorded transaction type.
• Fixed: If creating the Clover order does not complete, the order now notes that a duplicate may exist in your Clover dashboard.
• Fixed: Debug logs are now kept only in the plugin’s own protected log folder. Clear logs works with debug mode turned off and removes every log file, and uninstalling the plugin leaves none behind.
• Fixed: Information shown on the order screen is now displayed exactly as it was recorded.
• Fixed: The settings link on the Plugins page now works in every case.

4.12.0

• New: Inventory Tools page for bulk catalog transfer. Export selected WooCommerce products to Clover or import Clover items into WooCommerce, with a guided picker, a review step, and live progress. Runs can be resumed if the page is closed, and imported products can be created as drafts or published right away.
• New: Tax-aware transfers. Exports carry each product’s tax status to Clover, and imports match Clover taxes to your linked WooCommerce rates. An item whose taxes cannot be matched is skipped rather than created with the wrong taxes, and the run results name the exact Clover taxes involved.
• New: Rate coverage panel on the Taxes tab with a two-sided comparison of your WooCommerce and Clover tax rates, so you can see at a glance which rates exist on only one side.
• New: Create a missing WooCommerce tax rate from its Clover counterpart, or a combined tax class for multi-rate items, straight from the Rate coverage panel. Newly created rates are linked to their Clover rates automatically.
• New: Before a transfer starts, a summary warns about products that will be skipped or need attention, with badges in the picker explaining why.
• Improved: When stock pull is paused for a product, the notice now states the exact reason: the product’s taxes and its linked Clover item’s taxes are not the same.
• Improved: The product catalog panel now shows each product’s tax status and warns when a linked product is in the Trash.
• Improved: The Taxes tab now says clearly when your Clover tax rates have not been synced yet, instead of showing an empty comparison.
• Fixed: The deleted-product links list is now scrollable and searchable.
• Fixed: Products with only zero-rate shipping tax now export with the correct tax status.

4.10.0

• New: Inventory sync. Link your WooCommerce products to your Clover inventory items in the settings panel, then choose a sync mode: Off, Detect only, Pull stock, or Two-way. Pull stock keeps WooCommerce stock quantities up to date from Clover; Two-way also sends your WooCommerce stock edits to Clover. Off by default, and no mode can ever block a payment.
• New: Orders + Payment transactions now send each order line’s tax detail and real line-item quantities to Clover, so the Clover order matches what WooCommerce calculated, line for line.
• New: Partial refunds on Orders + Payment transactions can target individual units, and refunds keep working even after a product is renamed in WooCommerce.
• New: Debug log retention setting in the Advanced section. Choose how long debug logs are kept; older entries are purged automatically.
• New: Optional error diagnostics for support, disabled by default. Nothing is ever sent unless you ask WeeConnectPay support for help and an agent opens a temporary diagnostic window for your store. See the Privacy and Data Collection section for details.
• Improved: The settings panel was redesigned to fit in a single view.
• Improved: A declined payment now keeps the shopper on the checkout page with a clear message instead of a technical error.
• Improved: Clearer wording on the banner shown when your store’s Clover connection needs attention.

4.5.1

• Fixed: The tax forwarding mode section in the settings panel could not load or save the mode because two internal classes were not registered. Card payments were unaffected and kept using the saved mode.

4.5.0

• New: Tax forwarding mode in the settings panel. Choose what each card payment sends to Clover for tax reporting: nothing, the amount only, automatic attribution (the default), linked rates only, or full attribution, which runs eligible payments through a Clover order so every linked rate appears as its own named line, even multi-rate carts like TPS + TVQ. WooCommerce always calculates the taxes and no mode can ever block a payment.
• New: Interactive preview under the mode picker showing how a sample WooCommerce order lands in Clover reporting for each mode, cart shape, and transaction mode.
• Improved: The transaction mode cards in the setup wizard and the settings panel now show the same capability summary for each mode, covering refunds, taxes, and Clover order printing, with each mode’s limits stated plainly. Orders + Payment refunds are line-item returns at the full item cost, with no partial item refunds, and that path is not covered by tax forwarding modes yet.
• Changed: Authorization + Capture is now the recommended and default transaction mode when no mode has been chosen. Existing stores keep their saved mode.

4.4.0

• New: Tax Rates section in the settings panel. Link your WooCommerce tax rates to your Clover tax rates so Clover reporting attributes tax to the right rate. Only rates with exactly the same percentage can be linked, and an auto-link action handles exact matches for you.
• Charges now send a detailed tax breakdown to WeeConnectPay. WooCommerce still calculates all taxes; charged amounts are unchanged.
• Fixed a rounding issue where the tax amount sent with a charge could carry fractional cents.
• Editing, adding, or deleting a WooCommerce tax rate now instantly rechecks its Clover link. A mismatch shows up in the settings panel, as an order note on affected charges, and as a dismissible admin notice. Payments are never blocked by tax checks.

4.3.9

• Fixed ”Pay for order” links failing with ”We were unable to verify your checkout and no payment was processed.” The card was never tokenized on the order-pay page, so the payment was rejected before it started. Paying for an existing order now works the same as a normal checkout.

4.3.8

• Fixed the checkout spinner hanging forever when the configured Google reCAPTCHA site key is invalid. The payment now proceeds and the order notes call out the reCAPTCHA error so the key can be corrected.
• Added a 10-second safety timeout on reCAPTCHA token generation so checkout can never get stuck waiting on Google.
• Clearer order notes and logs when a payment submission arrives without checkout data.

4.3.7

• Fixed intermittent ”Missing reCAPTCHA token” checkout failures. When Google’s reCAPTCHA script cannot load in the customer’s browser (ad blockers, privacy tools, caching plugins), the payment now goes through and a diagnostic note is added to the order, matching the existing Block-based checkout behavior.
• The Google reCAPTCHA script is now marked so caching and optimization plugins (LiteSpeed Cache, WP Rocket, Cloudflare) do not delay or rewrite it.
• Better order notes and logs when a reCAPTCHA token is missing, to help pinpoint whether checkout scripts loaded at all.

4.3.6

• Fixed an issue where checkout could request more than one payment token per attempt, which sometimes caused ”invalid token” errors. Each checkout attempt now creates a single token.

4.3.4

• Debug logs now persist across plugin updates. Previously, updating the plugin reset your debug logs. They are now stored safely and kept between updates.

4.3.3

• Fixed Google reCAPTCHA at checkout on Classic and Block-based checkout.
• Improved checkout error handling so the form recovers cleanly after a failed payment.

4.3.2

• The redesigned card form now renders correctly on Block-based checkout. The card-number, expiry, CVV, and postal-code fields, the inline per-field validation, and the secured-payment footer now match the Classic checkout introduced in 4.3.0, instead of showing as unstyled fields.

4.3.1

• 3-D Secure now appears as ”Coming soon” in the settings and cannot be enabled yet, while we finish the supporting checks on your Clover account. It was introduced in 4.2.

4.3.0

• Redesigned card form on both Classic and Block-based WooCommerce checkout: cleaner layout, clearer per-field validation as the customer types, and a smoother Google Pay handoff that stays in sync with the cart total.
• Card brand, expiry, CVV, and postal-code fields now surface inline validation feedback the moment the customer leaves each field, so mistakes are caught before Place Order.
• Google Pay (when enabled on the store) now confirms readiness with a clear ”Place Order to confirm” prompt, and customers can switch back to entering card details without losing their cart.
• WeeConnectPay now detects when your store’s Clover connection has stopped working and shows a clear notice that links back to the connection page, instead of the settings continuing to look connected. The notice clears on its own once you reconnect.
• Switching environments is now explicit: a confirmation step explains that switching disconnects your current connection, and a standing warning appears whenever you are on a non-production (test) environment that does not process real payments.
• The WeeConnectPay Charges box now appears on the order screen for stores still using legacy (non-HPOS) order storage, so those merchants can view and refund charges from the order page too.
• You can now issue partial refunds, including several successive partial refunds on the same charge, directly from WooCommerce’s native Refund button on card (charge-based) payments, up to the remaining refundable amount.

4.2.0

• Added the foundation for 3-D Secure cardholder verification at checkout on both Classic and Block-based checkout, including subscription purchases that save the card for renewals. It is held back as ”Coming soon” as of 4.3.1.
• Failed payments now show full Clover error context in WooCommerce order notes (error code, decline reason, Clover error message, card brand, last 4), matching the level of detail on successful charges.
• Successful charges now explain what was checked (authorization outcome, AVS, CVV) instead of a vague ”no authentication data returned”.
• Successful charge order notes now carry amount, currency, card type, last 4, auth code, and reference number.

4.1.2

• Polished the device-flow login: clearer copy, loading state, and a more prominent connect button
• Improved settings accessibility: clickable toggle rows, proper label/input wiring, and visible keyboard focus

• Fixed Google Pay not loading anymore

3.16.1

• Updated the translation warning fix to prevent other plugins from interfering with the plugin load order

3.16.0
