<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to the following external services.
<h4>Stripe Payments (optional)</h4>
When the site administrator configures Stripe API keys (Secret and Publishable) under Conference → Setup, and a participant chooses Stripe at checkout, the plugin:
<ul>
<li>Loads Stripe.js from <code>https://js.stripe.com</code> on the registration page.</li>
<li>Creates a PaymentIntent on Stripe’s servers via the Stripe PHP SDK.</li>
<li>Stripe Elements (an iframe hosted by Stripe) collects the card data directly; the card number never touches the WordPress server.</li>
<li>Optionally receives webhook callbacks from Stripe to confirm payment status.</li>
</ul>
What data is sent to Stripe:
<ul>
<li>Payment amount and currency.</li>
<li>Participant email address (for Stripe receipts).</li>
<li>Billing details if provided by the participant.</li>
<li>Registration ID and registration number as metadata.</li>
</ul>
When:
<ul>
<li>Only when a participant selects Stripe as the payment method and submits the registration form.</li>
<li>When Stripe sends a webhook back to the site (server-to-server callback).</li>
</ul>

<li>Stripe Privacy Policy: <a href="https://stripe.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">https://stripe.com/privacy</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>IPAex Font Download (PDF generation)</h4>
To render Japanese text in PDF documents (invoice, receipt), the plugin needs the open-source IPAex Gothic and IPAex Mincho fonts. From the admin Dashboard you can install them with one click; the plugin then downloads the font files (one-time, per font). No user data is transmitted — it is a file download only. If the server cannot reach the download host, you can instead upload the <code>.ttf</code> files directly from the Dashboard (no external connection required).
<ul>
<li>Download host (mirror maintained by the plugin author): <a href="https://cs24.biz/conference/fonts/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://cs24.biz/conference/fonts/</a></li>
<li>Data sent: none (file download only)</li>
<li>The download URL can be overridden via the <code>conf_manager_font_source_url</code> filter.</li>
<li>Original font source / IPAex Font License (IPA, Information-technology Promotion Agency): <a href="https://moji.or.jp/ipafont/license/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://moji.or.jp/ipafont/license/</a></li>
</ul>
<h3>Development / Building from source</h3>
The admin and public interfaces are built with React (JSX). The human-readable 
source for the compiled, minified bundles <code>build/admin-app.js</code> and 
 build/public-app.js is shipped inside this plugin under the <code>src/</code> directory:
<ul>
<li><code>src/admin/</code> — source for <code>build/admin-app.js</code> (admin dashboard app)</li>
<li><code>src/public/</code> — source for <code>build/public-app.js</code> (public registration / MyPage app)</li>
</ul>
Build toolchain: the project uses <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/@wordpress/scripts" rel="nofollow ugc">@wordpress/scripts</a> 
(a wrapper around webpack and Babel). The webpack configuration is included as 
 webpack.config.js, and all dependencies and build scripts are declared in 
 package.json (with <code>package-lock.json</code> for reproducible installs).
To rebuild the compiled assets from source:
<ol>
<li>Install Node.js 18+ and npm.</li>
<li>From the plugin directory, run <code>npm install</code>.</li>
<li>Run <code>npm run build</code>. This regenerates <code>build/admin-app.js</code> and 
 build/public-app.js (and their <code>*.asset.php</code> dependency manifests). 
Use <code>npm start</code> for an unminified development watch build.</li>
</ol>
Third-party libraries bundled into the compiled JavaScript (all open source, 
installed from the public npm registry and declared in <code>package.json</code>):
<ul>
<li><code>@stripe/react-stripe-js</code> and <code>@stripe/stripe-js</code> — Stripe Elements payment UI (MIT)</li>
<li><code>html5-qrcode</code> — QR code scanner used for participant check-in (Apache-2.0)</li>
</ul>
WordPress-provided packages (<code>wp-element</code>, <code>wp-components</code>, <code>wp-api-fetch</code>, 
 wp-i18n, <code>react</code>, <code>react-jsx-runtime</code>) are declared as externals and are NOT 
bundled — they are loaded from WordPress core at runtime.

BuddyMeet is a BuddyPress (2.5+) plugin that uses <a href="https://jitsi.org/jitsi-meet/" rel="nofollow ugc">Jitsi Meet</a> to allow the members of a community to participate into virtual conference rooms with video and audio capabilities. BuddyMeet’s features include:
<ul>
<li>A room where all members of a group can meet each other</li>
<li>On demand rooms among specific invited group members</li>
<li>Automatic customization of the room’s subject and the name/avatar of the participants</li>
<li>Customization of all the parameters that <a href="https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/dev-guide/dev-guide-iframe" rel="nofollow ugc">Jitsi Meet API</a> supports</li>
<li>Support for RS256-signed JWT authentication. This enables secure connections to <a href="https://jaas.8x8.vc" rel="nofollow ugc">8×8 JaaS</a> (8×8.vc domain) and self-hosted Jitsi servers using RSA SHA-256 verified tokens.</li>
</ul>
Moreover, you can use the shortcode [buddymeet room=ROOM_HERE subject=SUBJECT_HERE] to add a conference room to any WordPress page. In that case, you have to pass any configuration by using the following shortcode parameters:
<ul>
<li>domain: The domain of the Jitsi Meet installation. BuddyMeet uses by default the 8×8.vc service.</li>
<li>room: The identifier of the room.</li>
<li>subject: The subject of the room. If empty the room is being displayed as the subject.</li>
<li>password: A password for the room. The first to enter the room sets that password and all other participants have to put it to enter.</li>
<li>show_watermark: Whether to show the Jitsi.org watermark or not.</li>
<li>show_brand_watermark: Whether to show a custom branded watermark or not.</li>
<li>brand_watermark_link: the custom brand watermark to show.</li>
<li>width: The width of the embedded window.</li>
<li>height: The height of the embedded window.</li>
<li>start_audio_only: Start the meet with the microphone only enabled and the camera off.</li>
<li>film_strip_only: Start the meet in filmstrip only mode.</li>
<li>disable_video_quality_label: Disable the video quality indicator.</li>
<li>mobile_open_in_browser: Launch the meet directly within the browser in mobile devices without opening the jitsi mobile app.</li>
<li>user: The user to display. Leave empty to automatically set the display name of the logged-in user.</li>
<li>avatar: The url with the avatar to display. Leave empty to automatically set the avatar of the logged-in user.</li>
<li>settings: A csv with the Jitsi Meet settings to get enabled. For the available options check <a href="https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/interface_config.js#L124" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a></li>
<li>toolbar: A csv with the Jitsi Meet toolbar options to get enabled. For the available options check <a href="https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/config.js#L718" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.</li>
<li>background_color: The background color of the window</li>
<li>default_language: The default language of the Jitsi Meet interface.</li>
</ul>
BuddyMeet uses by default the 8×8.vc service which is maintained by the Jitsi team at 8×8. Upon the initialization of a room, BuddyMeet sends the following information to the service:
<ul>
<li>The name of the current buddypress group as the subject of the call</li>
<li>The name, the surname and the avatar of the currently logged-in user</li>
</ul>
However, if you want to use your own hosted installation of Jitsi Meet, you can just configure the corresponding domain via the “Manage” menu of a BuddyPress group. For more information about Jitsi Meet please follow the links below:
