About Spoddano – Cardano For Woocommerce
From the official readme · v1.3.0Description
PLEASE NOTE: THIS PLUGIN ONLY WORKS WITH THE CLASSIC WOOCOMMERCE CHECKOUT
Spoddano – Cardano For Woocommerce enables sellers to accept Cardano (ADA) cryptocurrency as payment for their products on woocommerce stores.
It uses real time exchange rates provided by coinmarketcap.com api. Sellers enter in their receiving address and a QR code image(optional) and then it’s up to the buyer to process the transaction using their wallets.
Once they have sent the ADA they enter in a transaction ID and place the order. They will get sent the processing order email as standard by Woocommerce. The seller will need to then confirm the transaction on their end and complete the order.

Changelog
1.3.0
- Security: hidden checkout fields (“Total ADA Sent” and rate) are no longer trusted; the values are recalculated server-side from the order total and the cached rate at order save time.
- Compatibility: declare support for WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS); switch all order meta read/write to CRUD ($order->get_meta / update_meta_data).
- Reliability: gracefully handle CoinMarketCap failures (timeout, non-200, malformed response, zero rate) instead of crashing the checkout with a division-by-zero error on PHP 8+.
- Performance: exchange-rate cache key now includes the store currency, so changing currency no longer serves stale data; admin save still clears the cache.
- Hardening: escape every dynamic value on the front-end (esc_html / esc_attr / esc_url); admin disclaimer rendered through wp_kses_post.
- Hardening: stop misusing _e() to print HTML blocks with interpolated PHP variables.
- Fix: correctly declare the Text Domain header (was lowercase “text-domain:” and ignored by WordPress); switch text domain to “spoddano” to match the plugin slug.
- Fix: spod-ada-txt / spod-ccg-txt typo in the copy-amount script block.
- Refactor: copy buttons are real elements; copy-to-clipboard moved to a real .js file using the modern Clipboard API, enqueued only on checkout / order pages.
- Refactor: API key field is now a password input.
- Refactor: dead methods removed (is_accessing_settings, get_matching_rates, email_instructions).
- Refactor: brittle in_array() WC check at file load removed; rely on the plugins_loaded callback.
- Cardano explorer link in admin / order details / emails now points at cardanoscan.io and the transaction ID is URL-encoded and escaped.
- New: uninstall.php removes plugin settings and cached transients when the plugin is deleted.
- Compat: bump Requires PHP to 7.4 and declare Requires Plugins: woocommerce.
