<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin relies on the Payfam payment gateway service to process bank transfer payments for WooCommerce orders. The plugin communicates with Payfam’s API at <code>https://payfam.com.ng</code> to create temporary virtual bank accounts for payments and verify payment status.
Service Details: 
– What: Payfam is a payment gateway that provides virtual bank accounts for secure bank transfer payments. 
– Purpose: The plugin uses Payfam’s API to generate virtual account details (account name, number, bank name) for each order and to verify payment completion via webhooks. 
– Data Sent: 
 – When a customer places an order and selects Payfam as the payment method, the plugin sends the following data to <code>https://payfam.com.ng/api/create-temp-virtual-account/</code>: 
 – Order ID (as metadata) 
 – Order amount 
 – Customer email 
 – Customer first name 
 – When verifying payment status (via webhook or manual check), the plugin sends the transaction reference (txnref) to <code>https://payfam.com.ng/api/verify-payment/</code>. 
– When: Data is sent when an order is placed (to create a virtual account) and when payment status is verified (via webhook after payment or during order status checks). 
– Conditions: Data is only sent if the customer selects Payfam as the payment method and the store has configured valid Payfam API credentials. No data is sent without an active order.

I operate a large blog that uses WordPress as a headless CMS with a Next.JS frontend, which is largely enabled by this plugin. Let me just say first that creating an entire alternative third-party data API is an ambitious undertaking and I appreciate all the work the authors have put into it.



But as a developer I have to throw out a word of caution that this plugin often has major bugs that can have critical impact on your production website. For example after a recent minor update  we discovered a bug where any URL with a special character in it started returning a 404, causing several of our pages to suddenly become unavailable to users and delisted from Google, and this went on for many months before we realized it.



There have been many similar instances. My general approach is to lean more on WordPress's REST API over time which is more reliable since it's maintained by the WordPress team, and only use WPGraphQL when it's necessary.



Also recommend turning off auto-updates and test your website extremely thoroughly after any upgrade.

Thank you for this plugin. Building my headless application with WPGraphQL is fun. 
The repl interface to test queries is A+.
