PayLexer connects any payment gateway to your existing WordPress plugin checkout flow. Simple setup, no coding required.

== Description ==

If you want to accept payments through Stripe, PayPal, or any other gateway inside WooCommerce, WP Travel Engine, or your favorite WordPress plugin, but your plugin doesn't support it, PayLexer connects them for you.

Most WordPress plugins only work with a handful of payment gateways. If the one you want isn't on that list, you're stuck. You either switch plugins, hire a developer to build a custom connection, or just make do with whatever your plugin supports.

PayLexer adds your chosen gateway directly inside your existing checkout flow. Your customers stay in the same checkout process they already know. Nothing changes for them except that they have more ways to pay.

No coding. No developer. No switching plugins. You install PayLexer, connect your gateway, and you're ready to accept payments in less than 7 minutes.

PayLexer does not process or store payments. Every transaction goes directly through the gateway you choose.

== External Services ==

PayLexer is a WordPress plugin that links your WordPress store to the PayLexer platform, a cloud-based service. It connects your store's checkout to your chosen payment gateway. The plugin and the PayLexer platform do not process payments. Every transaction is handled directly by the gateway you choose. A PayLexer account is required for the plugin to work.

To do that, the plugin communicates with these PayLexer services:

1. Payment service (https://paylexer.com) — Initiates and tracks payment requests and keeps your gateway settings in sync. Sends order details and customer billing information needed to complete the payment, including name, email, address, and phone, along with your site URL and account credentials.

2. Checkout (https://checkout.paylexer.com) — Shows your customer the secure payment screen. Receives only a reference to the payment being made. No personal data is sent here.

3. App (https://app.paylexer.com) — Loads the payment-method logo images shown at checkout and in the settings, and provides admin links to your PayLexer dashboard. No order or customer data is sent here.

The plugin also sets one first-party cookie, "paylexer_session_id", to link a guest's checkout to their payment. It stores a random ID only, with no personal data.

Your use of these services is subject to the PayLexer Terms of Service (https://paylexer.com/terms) and Privacy Policy (https://paylexer.com/privacy-policy).
