External Services
This plugin relies on MontyPay, a third-party external service, to process payments.
What the Service Is and Its Purpose
MontyPay is a payment service provider that securely processes online transactions made through this plugin. It is required to create payment sessions, initiate transactions, redirect users to secure checkout pages, and confirm payment status updates.
What Data Is Sent and When
When a user initiates a payment, the plugin communicates with MontyPay’s external APIs. The following data may be transmitted:
- Transaction amount and currency
- Order or reference ID
- Customer details (name, email address, billing information, depending on configuration)
- Technical data required to complete the transaction (e.g., transaction identifiers, callback URLs, session tokens)
This data is only sent when a payment is created, processed, or verified, and is essential for the payment functionality to work correctly. The plugin does not store or process card details. MontyPay’s secure infrastructure handles all sensitive payment information.
External Service Endpoints
To function properly, this plugin may connect to the following MontyPay domains and API endpoints:
- https://api.montypay.com/post
- https://checkout.montypay.com/api/v1/session
- https://mm-core.montypay.com/api/v1/transaction/checkout
- https://checkout.montypay.com/*
- https://.montypay.com/
These endpoints facilitate payment session creation, transaction processing, user redirection to hosted checkout pages, and transaction status updates.
Terms of Service and Privacy Policy
MontyPay’s data handling practices are governed by its legal documents:
Terms and Conditions: https://montypay.com/terms-and-conditions
Privacy Policy: https://montypay.com/privacy-policy
