How to debug plugins in general? exampleexport.xml exampleexport.php")* Hi, The onAfterOrderConfirm function of a payment plugin will be called by HikaShop after the end of the checkout, after the customer confirms the creation of the order if the payment method corresponding to the plugin is selected as payment method. So this function is normally only implemented by payment plugins, and mainly to redirect the customer to the payment gateway. I think that it's not what you want to do. I think you want to develop a plugin of the group "hikashop" and implement the "onAfterOrderCreate(&$order)" and "onAfterOrderUpdate(&$order)" triggers and check the value of $order->order_status and $order->old->order_status so that when the order's status changes from "created" to "confirmed" you can do your processing.
