# Formipay — Product Requirements Document
|
||
|
||
**Version:** 1.0
|
||
**Date:** April 17, 2026
|
||
**Status:** Approved for Implementation
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 1. Current State
|
||
|
||
Formipay is a WordPress payment form plugin (~60 files, ~15,000 lines). It supports:
|
||
- Custom post types for Forms, Products, Coupons, Access Items, Licenses
|
||
- Payment gateways: PayPal, Bank Transfer
|
||
- Custom database tables for Orders, Customers, Tokens, Notification Logs
|
||
- Admin pages via WPCFTO framework + Vue.js partial editor
|
||
- Public form rendering via PHP shortcode `[formipay]`
|
||
|
||
A comprehensive audit (`FINDINGS.md`) identified **6 critical bugs**, **6 moderate bugs**, **10 security concerns**, and **12 performance issues**. Several features are stubs or incomplete (ExchangeRateAPI, License API, stock management, tax system).
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 2. Product Vision
|
||
|
||
Transform Formipay into a production-ready, modern WordPress payment plugin using an **incremental modernization** strategy:
|
||
|
||
- **Fix all critical bugs** immediately (Phase 1)
|
||
- **Introduce React for admin UX** (Phase 2)
|
||
- **Enhance frontend with React islands** while preserving SSR as default (Phase 3)
|
||
- **Complete missing features** (Phase 4)
|
||
|
||
This follows the same pattern used by WooCommerce, GiveWP, and Gravity Forms: SSR for public forms, React for admin.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## 3. Phase 1 — Critical Fixes & Stabilization (Weeks 1–2)
|
||
|
||
### Goal
|
||
Make the plugin production-ready. Zero fatal errors, no critical security holes, acceptable performance.
|
||
|
||
### Requirements
|
||
|
||
| ID | Requirement | Files |
|
||
|----|-------------|-------|
|
||
| F1.1 | Fix `Customer::update()` undefined `$table_name` and `$new_args` — fatal error on every update | `includes/Customer.php` |
|
||
| F1.2 | Fix `Order::delete()` — uses `$id` instead of `$order_id` parameter | `includes/Order.php` |
|
||
| F1.3 | Fix `Order::formipay_bulk_delete_order()` — iterates `$ids` but calls `delete($order_id)` instead of loop variable | `includes/Order.php` |
|
||
| F1.4 | Fix `Email::send_email()` — calls non-existent `\Formipay_Notification::` instead of `parent::` | `includes/Notification/Email.php` |
|
||
| F1.5 | Fix `Paypal::auto_cancel_order_on_timeout()` — missing `use Formipay\Order as Order` import | `includes/Integration/Paypal.php` |
|
||
| F1.6 | Fix `Paypal::paypal_settings` — undefined property, no declaration | `includes/Integration/Paypal.php` |
|
||
| F1.7 | Fix `BankTransfer::add_unique_code_details()` — calls `check_unique_code()` 3 times, may get different values | `includes/Payment/BankTransfer.php` |
|
||
| F1.8 | Fix color field label showing "Number" instead of "Color" | `admin/functions.php` |
|
||
| F1.9 | Add nonce check to `Customer::formipay_tabledata_customers()` | `includes/Customer.php` |
|
||
| F1.10 | Replace `maybe_serialize()` in cookie handling with `json_encode()` | `includes/Order.php` |
|
||
| F1.11 | Move `flush_rewrite_rules()` from `init` to activation hook only (Thankyou + Payment) | `includes/Thankyou.php`, `includes/Payment/Payment.php` |
|
||
| F1.12 | Add PayPal webhook signature verification | `includes/Integration/Paypal.php` |
|
||
| F1.13 | Cache `formipay_currency_array()` and `formipay_country_array()` JSON reads in static variables | `admin/functions.php` |
|
||
| F1.14 | Add pagination to `Customer::formipay_tabledata_customers()` | `includes/Customer.php` |
|
||
| F1.15 | Optimize `Order::formipay_tabledata_orders()` — use `COUNT(*) GROUP BY status` | `includes/Order.php` |
|
||
| F1.16 | Delete `Paypal.phpbak` backup file from production | `includes/Integration/Paypal.phpbak` |
|
||
| F1.17 | Add `uninstall.php` for cleanup (options, tables, scheduled events) | `uninstall.php` (new) |
|
||
|
||
### Success Criteria
|
||
- Zero PHP fatal errors on all CRUD operations (Customer, Order, Product, Coupon)
|
||
- All admin-ajax endpoints have nonce verification
|
||
- `flush_rewrite_rules()` fires only on activation/deactivation
|
||
- PayPal webhook rejects unsigned payloads
|
||
- Customer table pagination works for 10,000+ records
|

## 4. Phase 2 — React Admin Foundation (Weeks 3–6)
|
||
|
||
### Goal

|
||
| F2.3 | Create API client layer with nonce handling | `src/admin/api/client.js` |

||
|
||
## 5. Phase 3 — Frontend Enhancements (Weeks 7–10)
|
||
|
||
### Goal
|
||
Add React-powered frontend features while keeping SSR as the default rendering mode.
|
||
|
||
### Requirements
|
||
|
||
| ID | Requirement | Deliverable |
|
||
|----|-------------|-------------|
|
||
| F3.1 | Implement React island architecture — optional React mode alongside SSR | `src/frontend/widgets/FormRenderer.jsx` |
|
||
| F3.2 | Add render mode setting per form: "Classic (SSR)" or "Modern (React)" | Admin setting + Render.php update |
|
||
| F3.3 | Implement multi-step form navigation (missing in current SSR) | `src/frontend/widgets/MultiStepForm.jsx` |
|
||
| F3.4 | Register Gutenberg block `formipay/form` with `block.json` | `src/frontend/blocks/formipay-form/` |

|
||
|
||
### Success Criteria

|
||
- React mode provides multi-step navigation and real-time validation
|
||
- Gutenberg block renders form in editor with live preview
|
||
- Customer portal shows order history and download links
|
||
- Both render modes share the same PHP backend API
|
||

|
||
|
||
## 6. Phase 4 — Missing Features (Weeks 11–16)
|
||
|
||
### Goal
|
||
Complete all stubbed and missing features identified in the audit.
|
||
|
||
### Requirements
|

|
||
|----|-------------|----------|
|
||
| F4.1 | Implement ExchangeRateAPI (currently empty class) | High |

||
| F4.2 | Implement License API endpoints (verify, activate, deactivate, revoke — currently stubs) | High |
|
||
| F4.3 | Add Stripe payment gateway | High |
|
||
| F4.4 | Add tax calculation engine | Medium |
|
||
| F4.5 | Implement stock management (decrement on order, validation, "out of stock" UI) | Medium |
|
||
| F4.6 | Add product variations on frontend (variation dropdown rendered) | Medium |
|
||
| F4.7 | Build donation form mode (pay-what-you-want, suggested amounts) | Medium |

|
||
| F4.10 | Add CSV export for orders, customers, products | Low |

|
||

|
||
| F4.13 | Add form analytics (view tracking, conversion rate, abandonment) | Low |
|
||
| F4.14 | Full i18n — generate .pot file, wrap all hardcoded strings in `__()` | Medium |
|
||
|
||
### Success Criteria
|
||
- Exchange rates fetched and cached with configurable TTL
|
||
- License API actually validates, activates, deactivates licenses against DB
|
||
- Stripe payments complete end-to-end with webhook verification
|
||
- Stock decrements on successful order, prevents overselling
|
||
- Tax calculated per-product or per-order based on settings
|
||

## 7. Non-Functional Requirements
|
||
|
||

| **Compatibility** | PHP 7.4+ minimum, tested through PHP 8.3 |
|
||
| **Compatibility** | WordPress 6.0+ minimum |
|
||
| **Code Quality** | PSR-4 autoloading via Composer |
|
||
| **Code Quality** | Remove `.phpbak` files, commented-out code, dead code |
|
||
