By default, WordPress triggers scheduled tasks (WP-Cron) when users visit your website. For highly reliable, timely background syncing, it is recommended to set up a real system cron job: Open your wp-config.php file and add the following line to disable default visitor-triggered cron: define( ‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, true ); Set up a real cron job on your hosting server (via cPanel or SSH command line) to trigger every 10 minutes: wget -q -O – https://yourdomain.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron >/dev/null 2>&1 Disclaimer & External Services This plugin relies on external payment services to process transactions. By using this plugin, you agree to the terms and privacy policies of these providers: Paystack: Used for processing secure payments in Africa. Privacy Policy Flutterwave: Used for processing secure payments globally and in Africa.
