## Description

**BigBad Store Toolkit** is a modular WooCommerce toolkit that gives store owners
powerful tools for cost tracking and inventory management — all under one unified
admin panel.

Each feature is a self-contained addon that you can enable or disable independently.
The free version ships with essential tools, and Pro unlocks advanced addons individually
or as a bundle.

#### Free Addons

**COGS — Cost of Goods Sold**

 * Per-product cost input field in the product editor
 * Per-variation cost tracking for variable products
 * Category-level cost defaults (set once, apply to all products in a category)
 * Global fallback cost in settings
 * Cost and margin columns on the Products list table (sortable)
 * Quick Edit support for fast cost entry

**Shared Variation Inventory**

 * Define a shared stock pool for variable products
 * Each variation draws a configurable number of units from the pool per sale
 * Automatic stock deduction on order completion
 * Automatic stock restoration on cancellation/refund
 * Low stock warnings when the shared pool runs low
 * Shared pool stock column on the Products list table
 * Frontend low stock / out of stock notices

**Settings Panel**

 * Toggle addons on/off from a central dashboard
 * Configure COGS defaults (display column, global fallback cost)
 * Shared inventory low stock threshold
 * Data cleanup option on uninstall

#### Pro Addons (available separately or as a bundle)

 * **COGS Analytics** — Margin reports, cost trends over time, category-level profitability
   dashboards
 * **Advanced Inventory Rules** — Low-stock alerts on shared pool, reorder-point
   thresholds per product
 * **Bulk Operations** — CSV import/export of COGS data, bulk category cost assignment
 * Additional addons released over time

#### Why BigBad Store Toolkit?

 * **Modular** — Only enable what you need. No bloat.
 * **WooCommerce native** — Uses standard WooCommerce hooks, meta fields, and admin
   patterns.
 * **HPOS compatible** — Fully compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order
   Storage.
 * **Extensible** — Pro addons integrate seamlessly. Developers can register custom
   addons.
 * **Lightweight** — No external API calls, no tracking, no unnecessary JavaScript
   libraries.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `bigbad-store-toolkit` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Navigate to WooCommerce > BigBad Store Toolkit to configure settings and manage
    addons.
 4. WooCommerce must be installed and active.

## FAQ

### Does this require WooCommerce?

Yes. BigBad Store Toolkit requires WooCommerce 7.0 or later.

### How does the COGS cost hierarchy work?

The plugin checks for cost in this order: per-product cost > parent product cost(
for variations) > category default cost > global default cost from settings. The
first value found is used.

### How does Shared Variation Inventory work?

When enabled on a variable product, you set a total pool stock quantity. Each variation
has a “unit size” (defaults to 1). When a customer buys a variation, its unit size
multiplied by the quantity ordered is deducted from the shared pool.

### Will my data be deleted if I deactivate the plugin?

No. Deactivating the plugin does not delete any data. Data is only removed if you
uninstall (delete) the plugin AND have enabled “Delete Data on Uninstall” in the
settings.

### Is this compatible with HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage)?

Yes. The plugin declares HPOS compatibility and uses standard WooCommerce APIs.

### Can I add my own addons?

Yes. Developers can register custom addons using the `bbetk_register_addons` action
hook. See the documentation for details.
