Glossary

Terms used across KommandHub plugins. Standard Shopware terms (sales channel, Flow Builder, Rule Builder, custom field, …) are not repeated here — see the Shopware documentation.

Acknowledgement — (Order Export) Confirmation from the receiving system that it processed an exported order: implicit (2xx), read from the response, or sent later as a callback.

BVN — Bank Verification Number, an 11-digit identifier used by Nigerian banks. Optional field in the Paystack and Flutterwave bank-details forms.

Circuit breaker — (Order Export) Stops calling a target for a while after repeated failures, so a system that is down is not flooded.

Correlation ID — (Order Export) A unique ID written into an exported payload and echoed back in the acknowledgement.

Credential — (Order Export) Stored authentication details for a receiving system. The secret is encrypted.

Dial code — The international calling prefix of a country, e.g. +234 for Nigeria. Used by the SMS plugin to normalise phone numbers.

DND — Do not disturb: a Nigerian registry of numbers that opted out of marketing SMS, reachable only on a special route (SMS plugin, Termii).

Idempotent — Doing the same thing twice has the same effect as doing it once. Webhook handling, SMS sending and the demo-data seeder are idempotent.

Major / minor units — ₦100.50 in major units is 100.50; in minor units (kobo) 10050. Paystack expects minor units, Flutterwave major units.

Mapping — (Order Export) A definition of how an order is turned into the document sent to another system. Published mappings are versioned.

Pickup location — (Click and Pick) A store or collection point customers can collect from.

Sandbox / test mode — Provider environment where no real money or messages move.

Segment — One billed SMS part: 160 GSM-7 or 70 Unicode characters for a single message, 153 / 67 per part when longer.

Sender ID — The name or number an SMS appears to come from. Usually needs provider approval.

Split payment — (Paystack) Sending a share of each payment to a subaccount.

Target — (Order Export) A receiving system: endpoint, method, mapping, credential and delivery rules.

Webhook — A request an external service sends to the shop to report an event (payment succeeded, SMS delivered). Each plugin's installation page lists the URL to register.
