JavaScript source lives in resources/vue/ and resources/js/ . Compiled assets are written to assets/ with Laravel Mix.

The plugin ZIP includes the build tools at the plugin root:

• package.json — npm dependencies and scripts
• package-lock.json — lockfile for npm ci
• webpack.mix.js — Laravel Mix / Webpack configuration

To rebuild production assets from the plugin directory:

npm ci npm run production

Behind a reverse proxy that overwrites client IPs, define APEDO_TRUST_FORWARDED_FOR as true in wp-config.php so donation rate limiting can use X-Forwarded-For . By default only REMOTE_ADDR is used.

The admin dashboard bundle ( assets/js/admin.js ) includes Vue 3, Element Plus, and ECharts. Those libraries are used only in wp-admin. Public donation forms use separate, smaller frontend assets.

External Services

This plugin connects to third-party services when those features are used.

Stripe

• Purpose: Process donations through Stripe Checkout and verify payments with webhooks.
• Data sent: Amount, currency, donation ID, and payment metadata. Card details are entered on Stripe-hosted Checkout and are not stored by this plugin.
• When: When a donor submits a payment, and when Stripe sends webhook events.
• Terms of Service: https://stripe.com/legal
• Privacy Policy: https://stripe.com/privacy

Google reCAPTCHA (optional)

• Purpose: Reduce spam on donation forms.
• Data sent: Form interaction data used by Google to score or challenge the submission.
• When: Only if reCAPTCHA is enabled in Settings and a donor loads or submits a form.
• Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms
• Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

All requests to these services use HTTPS.

Privacy

• Card numbers are collected and processed by Stripe, not stored in WordPress.
• Donor name, email, phone, address, amount, campaign, donation message, and transaction status are stored in your WordPress database so you can manage donations and receipts.
• The plugin registers with WordPress Tools → Export Personal Data and Tools → Erase Personal Data . Erasure removes personal donor details and retains donation amounts and payment status for accounting.
• Donation records stay in the database after the plugin is deleted unless Remove all data on uninstall is enabled in Settings.
• Donation Success and Donation Failed pages are not deleted, so any customizations you made stay on the site.
• Google reCAPTCHA runs only when you enable it.
• Gift Aid and recurring billing run only when the matching addon is installed and activated.
