The team has been working diligently to integrate ZGo's capabilities into WooCommerce, one of the most popular e-commerce platforms for WordPress. It currently has over five million installations worldwide and with ZGo's new Payment Gateway, these e-commerce shops can now provide the option of paying with Zcash to their customers. ![](https://hedgedoc.vergara.tech/uploads/335bf024-aa64-41d4-a7f4-bdebe9e83866.png) In addition to the ability to prompt customers for payment with QR codes and confirm payment on-chain, the ZGo Payment Gateway plugin integrates with the WordPress Settings page and provides a dashboard for the shop owner to monitor the orders paid with ZEC and review information about each one. ![](https://hedgedoc.vergara.tech/uploads/8b821171-b777-4d19-8eb6-a0c0f070ca38.png) We have also added a new feature that allows ZGo shop owners to download their order data in CSV format, giving them greater flexibility for accounting and reporting. We look forward to hear from the community and support ZGo users in our Matrix room, [#zgo-support:vergara.tech](https://matrix.to/#/#zgo-support:vergara.tech) ## Progress Report ```mermaid gantt title ZGo Development 2022-2023 dateFormat YYYY-MM-DD axisFormat %b-%y todayMarker off Payment Confirmation :done, a1, 2022-06-01, 60d Milestone 1:milestone, done, 2022-07-31, 0d Xero Integration :done, a4, after a1, 60d Milestone 2:milestone, done, 2022-09-30, 0d WooCommerce Itegration:done, a4a, after a4, 100d Data Export :done, a2, 2022-11-01, 30d Milestone 3:milestone, 2023-01-10, 0d CRM Integrations :active, after a4a, 120d Spanish Translation :a6, 2023-01-10, 60d Unified Addresses : 60d Milestone 4:milestone, 2023-03-10, 0d Tipping :a3, after a6, 30d Tax Line :after a3, 30d Milestone 5:milestone, 2023-05-10, 0d User Support :active, 2022-06-30, 360d Milestone 6:milestone, 2023-06-30, 0d ``` ### Front End #### Added - Display app version - Support for WooComerce: - New tab in Settings to generate authentication token. - Display of WooCommerce credentials for configuration. - New service to interact with WooCommerce-related API endpoints. - A "Return To Shop" button added to ZGo Invoice component #### Changed - Copyright year #### Fixed - Remove unnecessary logging in `fullnode.service.ts`. ### Back End #### Added - New utility to refresh Xero tokens periodically. - New module for WooCommerce interaction. - New `/auth` endpoint to authenticate with the WooCommerce plugin and corresponding tests - New `/woopayment` endpoint to generate a new order from the WooCommerce plugin and corresponding tests - New `/wootoken` endpoint to generate a new token and query the token from the database. #### Changed - Refactored code for requesting Xero tokens to make it reusable. - Changed API authentication to allow for endpoints that don't require an `Authorization` header to support the WooCommerce integration - Enhanced the on-chain order confirmation functionality to support WooCommerce integration and future integrations. ### WooCommerce Plugin #### Added - Production server integration. - Monitor page look-and-feel enhancements. - Integrate ZGo Payments Monitor - ZGo's WooCommerce backend API in test mode - Set licence to GPL v2 or later - Integration to ZGo's Authentication End Point in test mode - Integration to ZGo's Authentication End Point in test mode - Initial alpha release - Uses test authentication and payment REST API () ### Marketing We have re-designed the [main website](https://zgo.cash/) to make it friendlier to people that are new to the cryptocurrency space. We have also added better descriptions of ZGo's features and integrations to help new visitors understand the application better. We have created a presence in the Fediverse on [Zeal Center](https://zeal.center/@zgo), thanks to the efforts of the community to implement this instance. The Fediverse provides a great opportunity to spread the ideas of financial privacy given the inflow of new users and the lack of an algorithm filtering posts. We look forward to growing our connections in the Fediverse. A new [video overview](https://youtu.be/VzJkDxInemw) and an [installation walthrough](https://youtu.be/wpKHdKkQYlo) of the WooCommerce plugin is available on the ZGo Youtube channel, as well as a [step-by-step guide](https://hedgedoc.vergara.tech/s/Tvq04u8iY#) in our documentation and we will be promoting these. ## Next Steps We will spend the next few weeks supporting any users that implement the WooCommerce plugin while we continue the research on other platforms for integration. We continue monitoring the progress of the rollout of Unified Addresses among wallets and will begin working on implementing UAs in ZGo once the functionality to import viewing keys is available in `zcashd`.
