## Description

WaffarAD is WaffarX’s affiliate network. WaffarX is the first cashback aggregator
in the MENA region. This plugin connects your WooCommerce store to WaffarAD/WaffarX
and provides three features, each of which can be enabled independently:

 1. Affiliate order tracking — reports orders referred through WaffarAD (and their 
    status changes) to the WaffarX conversion server so conversions and cashback can
    be attributed and reconciled.
 2. In-App Order payment gateway — an API-only gateway (hidden from the storefront 
    checkout) that lets WaffarX place orders on your store via a private REST API, 
    carrying installment/BNPL transaction metadata (e.g. ValU).
 3. WaffarX Coupons — an API-only feature that lets WaffarX mint single-use WooCommerce
    coupons when a customer redeems a WaffarX gift-card voucher. Issuance, redemption(
    with the actual discount applied), and reversal are reported to WaffarX for billing
    reconciliation.
 4. WaffarX Platform API — a private REST API that lets WaffarX run the full in-app
    commerce flow (browse products, read payment gateways and shipping data, quote 
    shipping rates, place/fetch/cancel/refund orders, and manage a cart) authenticated
    by the single WaffarX credential. This means WaffarX does not need separate WooCommerce
    REST consumer keys; the merchant only configures one API Key and API Secret.

### External services

This plugin connects to services operated by WaffarAD/WaffarX:

 1. Tracking script — https://waffarad.com/integration/general.js
     A JavaScript file
    loaded on the front end that sets and reads the WaffarAD affiliate tracking cookies.
    Loaded only while affiliate tracking is enabled.
 2. Conversion server — https://conversion.waffarx.com
     The plugin POSTs to this server:
 3.  * Woo/AddOrder — when a tracked order is created (the order details and affiliate
       identifiers).
     * Woo/UpdateOrder — when a tracked order changes status (updated status and totals).
     * Woo/PluginState — when the plugin or a feature is activated, deactivated, toggled,
       or uninstalled.
     * Woo/Settings — read periodically (hourly) for WaffarX-controlled settings, such
       as whether to report updates for all orders.
     * Woo/Coupon — when a WaffarX-issued coupon is created (issued), redeemed on an
       order, or reversed (the order is cancelled/refunded). Each event carries a unique
       event id and, for redemptions/reversals, the actual discount applied.
 4. When an API secret is configured, requests are signed with HMAC-SHA256 (X-WaffarX-
    Key / X-WaffarX-Timestamp / X-WaffarX-Signature); the secret itself is never transmitted.

The plugin also exposes an inbound REST API (namespace waffarx/v1) that WaffarX 
calls to place/fetch/cancel/refund orders, mint/fetch/void coupons, and read catalog/
shipping/payment data (the WaffarX Platform API). All of it is authenticated with
the single WaffarX API credential — either a Bearer token (the API Secret) or an
HMAC signature — so no WooCommerce consumer keys are required. See the FAQ.

These services are provided by WaffarAD. For details, see https://waffarad.com/Home/

## FAQ

### How do I enable or disable each feature?

Affiliate tracking: Settings  WaffarAD Tracking  “Enable affiliate order tracking”(
on by default).
 In-App Order gateway: WooCommerce  Settings  Payments  In-App Order
Enable/Disable. WaffarX Coupons: Settings  WaffarAD Tracking  “Enable WaffarX Coupons”(
on by default). WaffarX Platform API: Settings  WaffarAD Tracking  “Enable the WaffarX
Platform API” (on by default). Turn this off if you do not want the catalog/cart/
shipping/order-list/refund API exposed. Each toggle notifies WaffarX.

### Where do I configure the credentials?

Settings  WaffarAD Tracking  “WaffarX API Credentials”: a single API Key and API
Secret, provided to you by WaffarX. This one pair powers everything — it identifies
your store, signs outbound reporting, and authenticates every inbound WaffarX API
call. Alternatively, define WAFFARAD_API_KEY and WAFFARAD_API_SECRET in wp-config.
php; those constants take precedence. No WooCommerce REST consumer keys are needed.
Inbound requests are not run as any WordPress user; the Platform API authorizes 
its internal WooCommerce calls only for the duration of each request.

### How does WaffarX authenticate to the API?

With the single API Secret, either way:
 * Bearer token: Authorization: Bearer *
HMAC signature: X-WaffarX-Key + X-WaffarX-Timestamp + X-WaffarX-Signature, where
the signature is HMAC-SHA256 of “timestamp.rawBody” using the secret (a short timestamp
window guards against replay).

### Where do I configure the In-App Order gateway?

WooCommerce  Settings  Payments  In-App Order: the allowed gateway values and allowed
gateway statuses. (Authentication uses the unified WaffarX API Secret above — there
is no separate gateway token.)

### What are the In-App Order REST endpoints?

Base: https://your-domain.com/wp-json/waffarx/v1
 * POST /order — place an order(
requires gateway + transaction metadata; accepts optional affiliate attribution).*
GET /order/{id} — fetch an order. * GET /order/by-idempotency-key?key=… — look up
an order by idempotency key (full WooCommerce data). * POST /order/{id}/cancel —
cancel an order. All require the unified WaffarX authentication (Bearer token = 
the API Secret, or an X-WaffarX HMAC signature).

### What are the WaffarX Platform API endpoints?

Base: https://your-domain.com/wp-json/waffarx/v1 (all authenticated with the unified
WaffarX credential; enabled via Settings  WaffarAD Tracking  “WaffarX Platform API”):
*
GET /products, GET /products/{id}, GET /products/{id}/variations — catalog. * GET/
payment-gateways — available payment methods. * GET /data/countries, GET /data/countries/{
code} — countries and provinces. * GET /shipping/zones, GET /shipping/zones/{id}/
methods — shipping configuration. * POST /shipping-rates — stateless shipping quote
for given line_items + destination. * GET /orders — list orders. * POST /order/{
id}/refund — refund an order (send api_refund=false for a manual/records-only refund).*
GET /cart, POST /cart/add-item, POST /cart/update-customer, POST /cart/select-shipping-
rate — cart (Store API; pass the Cart-Token header returned by GET /cart). These
forward to WooCommerce’s own REST endpoints internally, so behavior and schemas 
match core WooCommerce.

### What are the WaffarX Coupons REST endpoints?

Base: https://your-domain.com/wp-json/waffarx/v1
 * POST /coupon — mint a single-
use coupon. Body: amount (required), waffarx_reference (required object with voucher_id
and optional batch_id/third_party_id/partner_id), and optional code, discount_type(
default fixed_cart), expiry_date (YYYY-MM-DD), and individual_use (default false).
If no code is supplied the plugin generates one and returns it. Minting is idempotent
per voucher_id; a supplied code that already exists is rejected. * GET /coupon/{
code} — fetch a WaffarX-issued coupon. * POST /coupon/{code}/void — disable an unused
WaffarX-issued coupon. The same authentication as the In-App Order API applies; 
mutating routes (create, void) require the feature to be enabled.

## Changelog

#### 2.0.1

 * In-App Order gateway orders: any order update is now mirrored (signed, non-blocking)
   to the WaffarX order-update webhook, when the new “Order-Update Webhook af_id”
   setting is filled. Payload is the full order plus a “waffarx” block (affiliate
   attribution + gateway metadata such as loan id). Sent once per order per request.

#### 2.0.0

 * Renamed to “WaffarAD Affiliate Network” and merged in the WaffarX In-App Order
   payment gateway.
 * Affiliate tracking, the In-App Order gateway, and WaffarX Coupons can each be
   enabled/disabled independently; each toggle notifies WaffarX.
 * In-App Order: API-only WooCommerce gateway (hidden from checkout) with REST endpoints
   to place/fetch/cancel orders, idempotency, and a custom transactions table.
 * Orders placed via the gateway are marked paid + processing (BNPL authorized &
   captured) and reported to the conversion server; the order API accepts optional
   affiliate attribution.
 * WaffarX Coupons: API-only minting of single-use WooCommerce coupons (REST endpoints
   to create/fetch/void), idempotent per voucher, with issuance, redemption (actual
   discount applied), and reversal reported to the conversion server on a single
   Woo/Coupon route carrying an event field and a unique event id.
 * Unified credentials: a single WaffarX API Key + API Secret powers every feature(
   signing outbound reporting AND authenticating all inbound calls). Inbound authentication
   accepts either a Bearer token (the API Secret) or an HMAC signature (X-WaffarX-
   Key / X-WaffarX-Timestamp / X-WaffarX-Signature) with replay protection.
 * WaffarX Platform API (namespace waffarx/v1, separately toggleable): products,
   payment gateways, countries/provinces, shipping zones, a stateless shipping-rate
   quote, order listing and refunds, and cart (Store API) — all authenticated by
   the single WaffarX credential, with WooCommerce calls authorized per-request (
   no user impersonation), so WooCommerce REST consumer keys are not required.
 * Webhook on plugin/feature activate, deactivate, toggle, and uninstall.
 * Class-based structure; HPOS compatible.

#### 1.0.5

 * Order-insertion rewrite: send on order creation (classic + block checkout), idempotency
   guard, presence-based attribution check, paid-price fix, HMAC signing, settings
   screen, status-change reporting (UpdateOrder), optional all-orders reporting 
   via a remote switch, privacy disclosure.

#### 1.0.4

 * WordPress.org standards/security pass (ABSPATH guard, GPL header, escaping, cookie
   sanitization, documented external services).
