Solana Pay Wordpress Plugin

This is a proof of concept for running Solana Pay on Wordpress / WooCommerce.

It is currently in development. NOT ready for production unless you're ready to mess around.

Test it out here

Adding The Plugin

To add the plugin to your WooCommerce store:

1. Define your SOL receiver address in your .env file by adding SHOP_SOL_ADDRESS={YOURADDRESS} and SOL_ENV= to be the SOL environment. SHOP_SOL_ADDRESS is where payment will go.
2. Browse to the plugins page. Should look like https://{YOUR_STORE}/wp-admin/plugins.php
3. Install npm dependencies
4. Build the zip: npm run zip
5. Upload the zip file as a plugin and activate it.

Configuring Each Product

All of the logic on rendering lies in backend-scripts.tsx. You'll need to customize it to recognize which pages to add the SOL button for.

You can either fire based off a particular DOM element, or look for a product title. We'll have better WooCommerce integration soon.

Next, pass in the payAmount and payCurrency (SOL for now), to show the Pay button.

Customizing Pay Button

The Solana Pay Button currently uses @solana/wallet-adapter-react and a basic button. Setting it up takes place in solana-pay-button.tsx.

Wordpress vs Shopify

Why build this plugin for Wordpress instead of Shopify? Well a couple of reasons:

1. Wordpress is open-source.
2. There's already a Solana Pay shopify integration at https://solanapay.com.
3. Shopify Pay required partners to be approved to build payment apps. I believe there's some revenue share with Shopify going on.

If the point of Solana is to reduce payment processing fees, why pay Shopify's revenue share?
