Cashandler's role
Cashandler will relay valid payment requests from WooCommerce checkout pages to HandCash when the customer has chosen to pay with HandCash Payments method. This means certain information will pass by Cashandler service. That information includes:
- shop name*
- item(s) description*
- total amount
- currency code
- payment recipient
- payment expiry**
- redirect URL***
*) Can be shortened to be compatible with HandCash.
**) Currently expires upon payment.
***) A "Thank you" page URL.
Data flow
After HandCash receives the information relayed to it by Cashandler, HandCash will reply with a payment URL (aka. payment address). The customer is then automatically redirected to that URL, where the customer can pay using their HandCash wallet either by scanning a QR code and confirming the payment, or by clicking a button.
