Frequently asked questions
Where do I get my API credentials?
Log in to your HUCH merchant account at huch.tech and navigate to the API settings section to retrieve your Merchant ID, Client ID, and Client Secret for each environment.
How do I test the integration before going live?
Set the Environment to Sandbox in the plugin settings and enter your sandbox credentials. Use the Test API connection button to verify they are correct. No real transactions are processed in sandbox mode.
What is my webhook URL?
Your webhook endpoint is: https://yoursite.com/?woocommerce-api=wc_huch_webhook Register this URL in your HUCH merchant dashboard to receive real-time payment status updates. Replace yoursite.com with your actual domain.
What currencies are supported?
HUCH supports all currencies available in your WooCommerce store. The currency is passed automatically from the order at the time of payment.
Are refunds supported?
Yes. Full and partial refunds can be issued directly from the WooCommerce order screen. The refund is submitted automatically to the HUCH payout API and a confirmation note is added to the order.
What happens if a payment fails?
The customer is redirected back to the checkout page with an error message. The order remains in “Pending” status and no charge is made.
What happens if my site misses a webhook?
A WP-Cron job runs hourly and polls the HUCH API for any HUCH orders still in “Pending” or “On Hold” status, so payment statuses are reconciled automatically even if a webhook was not delivered.
Is HPOS / High-Performance Order Storage supported?
Yes. The plugin uses wc_get_orders() for all order lookups, which is fully compatible with both classic and HPOS order storage.
