## وەسف

DebugPay Toolkit for Payfast helps WooCommerce store owners, developers, and support
teams investigate Payfast payment issues without acting as a payment gateway.

Use it when Payfast payment activity appears successful but a WooCommerce order 
stays pending, failed, cancelled, on-hold, or unpaid. The plugin creates local payment
logs, order debug panels, and reports for comparing order activity, callback delivery,
ITN observations, sandbox/live mode signals, and common mismatch symptoms.

The plugin records WooCommerce order creation events for Payfast-related orders,
order status changes, likely Payfast ITN/callback metadata on recognized WooCommerce
callback routes, and environment diagnostics. It does not change order statuses 
automatically.

This plugin does not include, register, enable, or replace a payment gateway. For
full logging, your site must already have an active Payfast-compatible WooCommerce
gateway that creates Payfast orders and receives Payfast callbacks. If no compatible
gateway is detected, the admin screen shows setup diagnostics and a non-affiliated
checklist.

DebugPay Toolkit for Payfast is an independent diagnostic tool and is not affiliated
with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Payfast, WooCommerce, Woo, Automattic, or WordPress.

#### Key Features

 * Custom database table for local diagnostic logs.
 * WooCommerce > DebugPay Toolkit admin page.
 * Summary cards, AJAX filters, AJAX pagination, log detail view, CSV export, and
   clear logs action.
 * Settings for logging, retention, maximum logs, customer data masking, and uninstall
   cleanup.
 * WooCommerce order admin payment debug panel.
 * Human-readable copyable debug reports.
 * Payfast Health Check with setup status, last activity, ITN/callback observation,
   issue counts, and recommended actions.
 * Payfast Test Run Assistant for reviewing a manually tested WooCommerce order 
   by order ID.
 * Sanitized diagnostic report export for developers, agencies, hosting support,
   and store support teams.
 * Built-in issue guide for common Payfast payment gateway and WooCommerce order
   update problems.
 * Issue classification for common payment/order mismatch scenarios.
 * Site diagnostics for WooCommerce, Payfast gateway detection, SSL, permalinks,
   WP debug, and log table status.
 * Setup guidance when no Payfast-compatible WooCommerce gateway is detected.
 * Sandbox/live diagnostics that label activity as Sandbox, Live, or Unknown when
   safe signals are available.
 * WordPress.org Live Preview blueprint for a quick browser-based demo environment.

#### What This Plugin Does Not Do

 * It does not create, register, enable, or replace a Payfast payment gateway.
 * It does not process payments or collect card or bank details.
 * It does not automatically mark orders paid, cancel orders, or retry callbacks.
 * It does not store Payfast passphrases, API secrets, passwords, or sensitive tokens.
 * It does not claim official affiliation with Payfast, WooCommerce, Woo, Automattic,
   or WordPress.

#### Privacy

This plugin does not phone home, track usage, or load remote assets. It stores diagnostic
data locally in your WordPress database.

The plugin avoids storing passwords, secrets, passphrases, API keys, sensitive tokens,
and card or bank details. Diagnostic log rows include event details, order/payment
identifiers, request IP address, and user agent. Customer email and billing phone
are masked in generated reports by default.

Sandbox/live diagnostics are read-only. The plugin may inspect safe gateway settings,
endpoint hostnames, and callback context to label activity as Sandbox, Live, or 
Unknown. It does not modify gateway mode and does not read or store Payfast passphrases,
API secrets, or sensitive credentials.

## دامەزراندن

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/debugpay-toolkit-for-payfast/`.
 2. Activate the plugin from the Plugins screen.

    if you want full payment logging.
 4. Open WooCommerce > DebugPay Toolkit.
 5. Confirm logging is enabled and review diagnostics.

## پهد

### Is this a Payfast payment gateway for WooCommerce?

No. This plugin is a Payfast payment diagnostics and logging tool for WooCommerce.
You still need an active Payfast-compatible WooCommerce gateway to accept payments
and receive full logging.

### Will this fix Payfast orders that stay pending?

No. The plugin does not change order status or alter payment processing. It helps
identify why a Payfast-related WooCommerce order may remain pending, failed, cancelled,
on-hold, or unpaid.

### Does this plugin change WooCommerce order statuses?

No. The plugin only logs diagnostics and builds reports. It does not mark orders
paid, cancel orders, or retry callbacks.

### Can it diagnose Payfast ITN or callback problems?

Yes, it can log likely Payfast ITN/callback activity on recognized WooCommerce callback
routes and show whether an ITN was observed. It does not take over gateway validation
or guarantee that a callback was accepted by the payment gateway.

### Does this plugin validate Payfast signatures?

Only when a verified value is available from a safe integration point. The plugin
does not request or store your Payfast passphrase and does not replace the gateway
validation flow, so callback observations usually show signature status as “Unknown”
rather than pretending validation passed.

### Does it compare Payfast paid amount with the WooCommerce order total?

Only when both values are safely available. If the plugin cannot confidently compare
the paid amount and order total, the amount check remains “Unknown”.

### What is the Test Run Assistant?

It is a read-only checklist and order analyzer for a manual Payfast test order. 
It reviews local logs, ITN/callback observation, sandbox/live mode, and known mismatch
signals. It does not create orders, process payments, contact Payfast, or change
WooCommerce order status.

### What happens if WooCommerce or Payfast is inactive?

The plugin does not fatal error. It shows an admin notice if WooCommerce is unavailable
and reports Payfast gateway detection as no or unknown where appropriate. If no 
Payfast-compatible WooCommerce gateway is detected, it shows setup guidance and 
a checklist. It does not provide or enable a payment gateway.

### Does the plugin send data to an external service?

No. It does not phone home, track usage, or load remote assets. Diagnostic data 
is stored locally in your WordPress database.

### Can I delete plugin data on uninstall?

Yes. Enable “Delete data on uninstall” in WooCommerce > DebugPay Toolkit before 
uninstalling.
