Genius Checkout for WooCommerce

Changelog

1.5.12

• Fixed: every scheduled renewal after a terminal decline now creates a new Genius Checkout payment attempt and transaction while network retries remain safely idempotent.
• Fixed: an already-paid renewal order cannot be charged a second time if WooCommerce dispatches its scheduled-payment hook again.
• Improved: pending renewal approvals are retained as the current attempt instead of being incorrectly marked as a terminal failure.

1.5.11

• Fixed: structured API errors now show their actionable message in renewal and refund order notes instead of the literal word “Array”.

1.5.10

• Fixed: a successful retry of a previously declined order is verified before WooCommerce renders its thank-you page, preventing WooCommerce’s stale bank-decline warning from appearing above a paid order and active subscription.

1.5.9

• Fixed: saved cards can complete a $0 free-trial setup without attempting an invalid zero-value gateway charge.
• Fixed: successful trial setup now activates the WooCommerce order instead of leaving it failed or treating it as an uncaptured authorization.
• Fixed: Genius Checkout remains available when customers recover on-hold subscriptions or change a subscription payment method, and replacement tokens are retained for future renewals.
• Improved: orders and subscriptions now show a masked payment-method hint such as Visa ending in 8021, Lynk wallet ending in 8387, or Nequi account ending in 0593 when the provider supplies one.
• Fixed: late failure webhooks from an earlier checkout attempt can no longer overwrite a newer successful retry.
• Improved: buyer-safe checkout-session errors returned by Genius Checkout are shown instead of an unrelated generic retry message.

1.5.8

• Updated the WordPress.org tags to better surface Genius Checkout, Wompi, Powertranz, FAC, MPGS, First Atlantic Commerce, Lynk, and NCB.

1.5.7

• Fixed: the accepted-payment-methods settings control now hides the native select once SelectWoo is active, preventing the duplicate side-by-side input field on the WooCommerce settings page.

1.5.6

• Compatibility: preserves the actionable unauthorized-domain checkout notice with the updated Genius Checkout allowed-domain policy.

1.5.5

• Improved: checkout now identifies when the store domain is not authorized for Genius Checkout payments instead of showing an unrelated generic retry message.
• Fixed: Accepted Payment Methods now recovers from an interrupted SelectWoo initialization instead of leaving a blank, hidden selector.

1.5.4

• New: authorize-only payments remain On hold and expose a native Capture Genius Checkout payment action on the WooCommerce order.
• Fixed: capture confirmation now moves the order to its paid state while preserving the Genius Checkout transaction and card details.

1.5.3

• Fixed: the connected-account panel now opens the live Genius Checkout merchant dashboard instead of a nonexistent route.
• Fixed: cancelling a hosted checkout now returns through WooCommerce’s signed cancel-order URL so pending orders are handled consistently.

1.5.2

• New: Nequi, PSE, and Bre-B join Lynk and the card networks in the accepted payment-method selector, using official brand artwork.
• Improved: Powertranz naming now follows the brand’s official capitalization across buyer-facing gateway choices.
• Improved: refreshed WordPress.org screenshots cover the upgraded settings page, all supported Genius Checkout gateway options, and the WooCommerce checkout presentation.
• Improved: refreshed the WordPress.org banner with the complete Genius Checkout lockup and all supported gateway brands.

1.5.1

• New: Lynk joins the accepted payment methods and uses its official checkout wordmark.
• Improved: accepted payment methods now use official network artwork and a searchable, tag-style settings control.
• Improved: the connection panel now shows a verified merchant-account identity, environment, and operational details in a clearer connected-state card.

1.5.0

• New: configure the checkout payment-method title, accepted-card icons, and whether to show the Genius Checkout logo, a custom Media Library logo, or no provider logo.
• Improved: provider and card artwork is consistently bounded and aligned in both classic and Blocks checkout.
• Fixed: WooCommerce customer name, email, phone number, and billing-address hints now use the hosted checkout’s canonical prefill contract.

1.4.2

• Fixed: WooCommerce settings now save without a fatal error on current WooCommerce releases; API-key and webhook-secret validation preserve the last valid value.
• Fixed: current versioned webhook signatures and X-GC-Event-ID delivery deduplication now match the Genius Checkout platform contract, while legacy signatures remain compatible.
• Fixed: subscription signups request reusable payment tokens, renewal events resolve consistently, and captured renewals require a transaction ID.
• Fixed: multicurrency checkouts use the order currency, completed payments require exact signed amount/currency data, and malformed checkout/refund responses fail safely.
• Improved: checkout, refund, and renewal idempotency; buyer-safe error notices; admin connection diagnostics; Blocks availability checks; and webhook replay protection.

1.4.1

• New: daily API-key health-check. The plugin pings Genius Checkout once a day with your stored key; if the key has been rotated or revoked it raises a dismissable admin notice and emails the site admin once per failure streak, so a dead key is caught before it fails a live order.
• Fixed: the payment gateway class is now loaded only after WooCommerce has finished loading, preventing a fatal error on sites where the plugin initialised before WooCommerce.
• Fixed: corrected the internal text domain so all admin, checkout, and order-note strings load their es / fr / pt translations.
• Internal: aligned the plugin folder, text domain, and language file names for WordPress.org distribution.

1.3.2

• Subscriptions: rebound scheduled_subscription_payment to the gateway-specific hook so renewals fire even for orders that took an alternate payment method on the initial signup
• Block checkout: ship the Genius Checkout brand badge inline with the payment method label in the WC Blocks checkout step
• Translations: regenerated the POT and filled in 20 missing strings across es / fr / pt — order notes for refund/renewal HTTP failures, correlation_id error lines, and the “card setup for free trial” note now translate correctly
• Internal: brought GC_PLUGIN_VERSION back in sync with the plugin header (was stuck at 1.2.0 so cache-bust query strings for the Blocks JS asset served stale after upgrade)

1.3.1

• Defensive: re-set the WC payment transaction id after payment_complete in case a third-party plugin short-circuits the core flow before our handler runs

1.3.0

• X-Correlation-ID on every outbound API call; failed-order notes now include the correlation_id + platform request_id alongside the gateway error code/message so support can grep platform logs without timestamp triangulation
• Order notes on failed payments now lead with the buyer-facing decline reason (the same text the customer saw on the hosted checkout), then append the raw gateway reason — so the merchant has the customer’s exact context when they get a support call
• Removed the legacy 1¢-refund block for $0 trial orders; the platform’s setup-mode session already does a 1-cent auth + immediate void, the post-completion refund was a no-op at best and a confusing audit note at worst
• Webhook handler reads the new buyer_message field from payment.failed payloads (locale-aware text mapped from ISO 8583 codes on the platform side)

1.2.0

• Replaced placeholder gateway icon with the official Genius Checkout brand lockup
• Fixed webhook signature verification to match the platform’s HMAC-SHA256(“{timestamp}.{payload}”, secret) shape with 5-minute replay protection
• Added X-GC-Event-Type header support for reliable event routing
• Hardened input sanitization, switched idempotency keys to UUIDv4, added structured logging via WooCommerce → Status → Logs

1.1.0

• Subscription renewals via stored Genius Checkout token
• Improved order-meta tracking for refunds and audit trails

1.0.0

• Initial release
