Setting up PayTech in PremiumPress

Activate the free plugin, then open your theme’s payment settings and add your PayTech credentials:

• API key — PayTech Dashboard → API. Sent as the API_KEY request header.
• API secret — Sent as the API_SECRET request header and used to verify IPN callbacks.
• IPN URL — PayTech POSTs payment notifications here. It is sent automatically with each payment request.

Amounts are whole XOF units (no decimals). PayTech confirms via its IPN callback, verified with SHA-256 hashes of your API key and secret. The plugin requires PremiumPress 12.
