Privacy

This plugin sends order/customer data necessary for financing to BT Direct (Banca Transilvania). Logs may include request/response metadata for debugging. Review your privacy policy and data processing agreements accordingly.

Troubleshooting

• Gateway not visible: Ensure WooCommerce is active, currency is RON, and the gateway is enabled. Also, ensure the Checkout Page is not a static page — in this case payment methods are not displayed dynamically.

• Amount not eligible: Adjust min order thresholds in settings.
