The plugin connects your store to the Barcode Man service using WooCommerce’s official authorization flow (`/wc-auth/v1/authorize`). WooCommerce creates and manages the authorization credentials; the plugin does not keep its own copy. This version is a connector: designing and printing happen in the Barcode Man workspace at https://woocommerce.barcodeman.app, which opens in its own browser tab. Nothing is embedded in your WordPress admin, and this package ships no compiled application code. Connecting needs a Barcode Man account (email and password), because the workspace belongs to the person signed in, not to the site alone. ### External services This plugin connects your store to Barcode Man, a third-party label and barcode service operated by Gookit (company website: https://gookit.co/barcodeman/), so that your product and order data can be turned into printable labels and barcodes. The service runs on its own domain, not on the company website: * API: https://prod-bcm-api.barcodeman.app * Workspace (WordPress.org build): https://woocommerce.barcodeman.app What is sent, and when. This describes the WordPress.org connector; the Woo Marketplace build of this plugin authenticates with a store session instead of a Barcode Man account and has no sign-in step: * On connect: your store URL is sent to the Barcode Man API to open the connection, and your browser is sent to the workspace (https://woocommerce.barcodeman.app) to sign in. You create or sign in to a Barcode Man account there with an email address and password and accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. That sign-in form talks directly to Barcode Man’s identity service, which is hosted on Supabase (an endpoint on supabase.co), so the email address and password you type are submitted to that service, which holds your email address for sign-in and support. After you approve the WooCommerce authorization, WooCommerce sends an API credential for your store directly to the Barcode Man API (server-to-server); the plugin itself never receives or stores that secret. Once you confirm the account and site, the Barcode Man API returns a Site Account ID plus a revocable plugin token, which the plugin stores to keep the connection. Supabase Terms of Service: https://supabase.com/terms Supabase Privacy Policy: https://supabase. com/privacy * While connected: opening the connector page sends the Site Account ID and plugin token to the Barcode Man API to check the connection status. The workspace runs in your browser and authenticates as the signed-in person; the site’s own token cannot open it. * While in use: the Barcode Man service reads your products, variations, and orders( and writes back generated SKUs / barcodes when you choose to) through the WooCommerce REST API in order to render and print labels. * While a connection is being made: this plugin publishes one value at /wp-json/ barcode-man-wporg/v1/connect-proof — the SHA-256 of a random challenge the Barcode Man API just issued for this connection. The API reads it back from your site to confirm that a site administrator started the connection before it grants anything. It contains no personal or store data, and it is removed as soon as the connection finishes or is cancelled. * On disconnect: the stored Site Account ID and plugin token are sent to the Barcode Man API so it revokes workspace access to this site immediately. Both values stay on your site afterwards so you can reconnect the same account later; neither can open anything on its own. This service is required for the plugin to function. By connecting you agree to the Barcode Man Terms of Service (https://gookit.co/terms/) and Privacy Policy ( https://gookit.co/privacy/). Paid billing depends on where this plugin build is distributed. The WooCommerce Marketplace build uses the WooCommerce.com Billing API and does not send Marketplace customers to Stripe. The WordPress.org build uses Stripe Checkout. This plugin may also use these third-party services from within the app: * Stripe — if you choose to subscribe to a paid plan, the app requests a checkout link from the Barcode Man API and redirects your browser to Stripe Checkout ( checkout.stripe.com) to complete payment. Only the data needed for checkout is sent by the Barcode Man API: a store-level Site Account ID in Stripe customer metadata, the Stripe customer ID, selected plan price, and success/cancel return URLs. Payment details you enter in Stripe Checkout are handled by Stripe. Product and order records are not sent for billing. Stripe Terms of Service: https:// stripe.com/legal/consumer Stripe Privacy Policy: https://stripe.com/privacy * Google Fonts — the label editor loads font families from Google Fonts (fonts. googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com) when the connected app opens, so fonts are available for label designs. Your browser sends its IP address and request headers to Google when requesting the stylesheet and font files. Google Fonts Terms of Service: https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy * Formspree — when you submit the optional support form, your browser sends your name, email, message, any attachments you select, platform, app version, Site Account ID and any prefilled support topic to formspree.io so we can respond. Formspree also receives ordinary request information such as your IP address. Sending a support request is not required to use the plugin. Formspree Terms of Service: https://formspree.io/legal/terms-of-service/ Formspree Privacy Policy: https://formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy/ * Bytescale — when you upload an image for a label template, the Barcode Man API sends the image and a storage path containing the platform, Site Account ID and template ID to api.bytescale.com. Your browser requests the stored image from Bytescale’s CDN (upcdn.io) to display it; those requests include your IP address and browser request headers. Bytescale Terms of Service: https://www.bytescale. com/terms Bytescale Privacy Policy: https://www.bytescale.com/privacy * DigitalOcean Spaces — when you generate labels, the Barcode Man service stores the generated PDF in DigitalOcean Spaces. It contains whatever your template renders, including any product or customer/order information. Your browser requests the PDF from a digitaloceanspaces.com delivery URL when opening or downloading it, sending ordinary request information such as your IP address. No WordPress login or WooCommerce API credential is sent with that download request. DigitalOcean Terms of Service: https://www.digitalocean.com/legal/terms-of-service-agreement DigitalOcean Privacy Policy: https://www.digitalocean.com/legal/privacy-policy * Sentry — the Barcode Man application reports errors and performance data to Sentry (sentry.io) so failures can be diagnosed, and loads its session-replay module from browser.sentry-cdn.com. Replay records a playback of the screens you use: in production a sample of sessions, plus any session where an error occurs. That recording can include product names, the customer names and addresses shown on address labels, and images such as label previews and any logo you upload, along with your IP address and browser details. This happens in the hosted workspace, which is not part of this package: it ships no compiled application, so nothing is sent to Sentry from your WordPress admin. Sentry Terms of Service: https:// sentry.io/terms/ Sentry Privacy Policy: https://sentry.io/privacy/ ### Development This package contains no compiled, minified or obfuscated code. Everything it ships is the human-readable source that runs: the PHP (`barcode-man-for-woocommerce.php`,` includes/`, `uninstall.php`) and one small admin script (`assets/js/bcm-connect- poll.js`), which waits for the connection to finish. The Barcode Man workspace itself is a hosted service at https://woocommerce.barcodeman. app. In this version it is not part of the plugin, is not downloaded by it, and is not executed inside WordPress. ### License The plugin is distributed under GPLv2 or later; see LICENSE.txt. Builds that also ship the compiled Barcode Man application keep their dependencies’ own compatible licenses and copyright notices in THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt and licenses/. These software licenses are separate from the terms for the hosted service. ## Screenshots [⌊Connecting the store from WooCommerce > Barcode Man in the WordPress admin.⌉⌊Connecting the store from WooCommerce > Barcode Man in the WordPress admin.⌉[ Connecting the store from WooCommerce > Barcode Man in the WordPress admin.

Upload the `barcodeman-for-woocommerce` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the ZIP via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 3. Go to WooCommerce > Barcode Man. If the site uses Plain permalinks, a WordPress administrator must switch to any other permalink structure first; the plugin offers a one-click “Post name” option to authorized administrators. 4. Click “Connect this site to Barcode Man”. A WordPress administrator with WooCommerce permissions has to do this, because it decides which Barcode Man account controls this site’s data. 5. Sign in (or create your Barcode Man account) at https://woocommerce.barcodeman. app, accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and approve the authorization request on the WooCommerce screen. 6. Confirm the account and site shown, then return to WordPress. “Open workspace” takes you to Barcode Man whenever you need it. ## FAQ ### Does this plugin require an account or email sign-up? Yes. The workspace is tied to a Barcode Man account, so connecting asks you to sign in (or sign up) with an email address and password at https://woocommerce.barcodeman. app and to accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Your email address has to be confirmed before a site can be connected, so the account can be recovered and so we can reach the owner of a connection. ### Does the plugin store my WooCommerce API keys on my site? The plugin does not store its own copy. WooCommerce manages the API credential on your site and sends it directly to the Barcode Man API during authorization. The plugin stores a non-secret Site Account ID and a revocable plugin token. ### What is the Site Account ID? It is the stable, non-secret identifier for your store-level Barcode Man account. You can view and copy it in Settings when contacting support. It is not a password and cannot open a session without the separate plugin token. ### Does the plugin add anything to my site’s REST API? Only while a connection is in progress: one read-only route that returns the hash of a one-time challenge, so the Barcode Man service can confirm the connection was started by a site administrator here. It exposes no store or personal data and disappears when the connection finishes. ### What happens if I deactivate or delete the plugin? Deactivating leaves your settings untouched. Deleting the WordPress.org version keeps the Site Account ID and plugin credential so reinstalling can prove the original connection. It clears local handshake and binding state and removes Barcode Man’s per-plugin automatic-update selection. Deleting does not revoke remote workspace access: use Disconnect before deleting if you want to revoke it. The Woo Marketplace version removes its plugin token when deleted. ### Why does the Woo Marketplace version require automatic updates? Compatibility and security fixes for the Marketplace version are delivered by Woo and installed by WordPress’s native updater. Barcode Man adds only itself to the site’s per-plugin automatic-update list after an administrator explicitly agrees. WordPress or hosting conditions can still prevent an individual update from installing. You may turn the setting off from Plugins, but Barcode Man will ask you to restore it before starting a new app session. ### Does the plugin use an iframe? No. This version does not display the application inside WordPress at all: “Open workspace” opens Barcode Man at https://woocommerce.barcodeman.app in its own browser tab. ### Why does the plugin ask me to change Plain permalinks? WooCommerce’s official store authorization flow and REST API require rewrite routing that Plain permalinks do not provide. A WordPress administrator can use the one- click “Post name” option shown by Barcode Man, or select any non-Plain structure under Settings > Permalinks. Shop managers who cannot change this site-wide setting will see instructions to contact an administrator. ### Does deleting the plugin cancel my subscription or delete my service account? No. Manage or cancel your paid plan before deleting the plugin. Deleting local plugin files does not cancel billing, revoke the current WooCommerce authorization, or delete data held by the Barcode Man service. Paid plans on this version are billed through Stripe; cancel yours in Barcode Man. You can revoke the authorization under WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > REST API. Contact hi@gookit.co to request service- account or personal-data deletion. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/cba4b0d309b1964a9e9f9db6c023f64d285359231cc89e341a4494da3d2bd9d9? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[This app is helpful](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-app-is-helpful/)󠁿 [maidenlanetp](https://profiles.wordpress.org/maidenlanetp/) October 7, 2021 I need an app for helping me do customized layout, and it did great job. not only include a label editor that support drag and drop but also have some common label to help me figure out how to use it. the installation is tedious, we hope you can improve it. the rest of all is good.
