Usage of 3rd Party Service

ArkPay plugin utilizes ArkPay service in the following circumstances:

Cart page

• Users can pay for their orders directly from the cart by clicking the “Pay via ArkPay” button. At that moment, a request is sent to the ArkPay service to create a transaction, redirecting users to a new Hosted Payment Page (HPP) to complete the payment for their order.

Checkout page

• Users can also pay for their orders on the checkout page. It’s necessary for users to enter valid credit card information and select the ArkPay service as their payment method. By clicking the “Pay/Place Order” button, the plugin sends a request to the ArkPay service to create a transaction and another request to immediately process the payment using the entered credit card information.

Requests

• Create transaction
• Pay transaction
