## Description

Cartdini is a WooCommerce checkout field editor for delivery instructions, gift 
notes, purchase references and other order details. Add questions without writing
code and keep customers’ answers with the order.

The Free plugin includes nine custom field types in both Classic Checkout and Checkout
Blocks: text, select, checkbox, textarea, email, telephone, number, radio and URL.
It works without a Cartdini account, license or external service.

#### What you can do with Free

 * Add up to 100 custom fields to order information, contact details or both billing
   and shipping addresses.
 * Write labels and help text, choose optional or required answers, and configure
   supported text limits, number ranges and steps.
 * Reorder or duplicate questions and preview their structure before saving.
 * Choose answer display in admin/customer orders and supported admin/customer emails.
 * Edit supported existing checkout fields while keeping WooCommerce’s essential
   address validation.
 * Recover an unfinished local editor draft, review it and save explicitly.
 * Use WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) or legacy order storage.

Add an optional “Delivery instructions” textarea, save it, add a test product to
your cart and check its answer on a test order. A gift note is Free; showing it 
only when another answer matches is Pro.

#### Editing existing checkout fields

Classic supports label, placeholder and position changes for supported billing, 
shipping and order fields. Essential address/email visibility and validation remain
native. Six optional-field controls allow visibility/requirement changes; reset 
individual overrides.

Checkout Blocks supports shared Company, Phone and Address line 2 visibility/requirement
settings, labels and order for ten shared address fields, and the default Place 
Order button text. Shared address changes can also affect Classic checkout; explicit
Classic overrides take precedence. Native settings save separately, outside custom-
field imports, templates and history. WooCommerce retains country-specific requirements,
hidden fields and validation. Blocks contact email, address placeholders and section
content remain native controls; payment extensions may supply their own button text.

#### When you need Pro

[Cartdini Pro](https://cartdini.com/free-vs-pro) is a separate paid add-on. It adds
conditional questions, fixed paid extras for eligible order choices, private file
uploads, date availability rules, time and multiple-choice inputs, repeatable groups,
reusable custom-field setups and order-answer CSV tools. Check workflow requirements
before purchase. Pro is optional.

Optional Pro previews show local examples and real control screenshots. Hide or 
restore the preview group for your administrator account on this store. Examples
never publish fields, upload files or add charges. Tasks require an explicit remember/
pricing action; previewing does not enable measurement.

### Privacy and local preferences

Free stores answers in your WordPress/WooCommerce database. It sends no answers 
or administrator preferences to Cartdini. Request only necessary information and
explain its purpose, recipients and retention in your store’s privacy policy. Suggested
wording is available in WordPress Settings > Privacy.

Browser drafts store field settings, not shopper answers, preview answers, files
or license credentials. Full-screen and contextual suggestion preferences use browser
storage; WordPress navigation is visible by default. Optional remembered Pro tasks
use site-scoped administrator metadata and expire after seven days. Preview-navigation
visibility is also administrator/store scoped.

Optional local action counts are off by default. If enabled, they count preview 
opens, pricing-link clicks and matching workflow saves for 90 days; they do not 
measure purchases or conversion rates. Counts contain no shopper answers or license
keys, stay on the store and are cleared when disabled. Expired tasks and counts 
are scheduled for removal through WordPress cron while active and are included in
personal-data export/erasure. Opening an example is not consent to measurement. 
Free makes no external service requests; following documentation, support or pricing
links opens the selected website. Pro license connections are separately disclosed
and require an explicit administrator action.

A quiet review invitation appears only in Cartdini settings after at least 30 days
from the first recorded qualifying checkout and use on three distinct days. Eligibility
keeps only a local first-use time and up to three checkout creation dates, without
order identifiers, customer details or answer copies. It is not payment verification
or external analytics. The invitation is disabled in WordPress development, local
and staging environments. Review-link and dismissal preferences are scoped to the
administrator and website, persist across updates, and are included in personal-
data export and erasure. Reminders can be delayed for 30 days or stopped permanently.
Opening the WordPress.org review link does not tell Cartdini whether a review was
submitted.

### Source and licenses

All executable PHP, JavaScript and CSS is included as readable source; no compilation
or external download is needed. See assets/SOURCE.md for dependencies and translation
instructions. Locally bundled fonts make no external request and include their SIL
Open Font License in assets/fonts/OFL.txt. Cartdini is licensed under GPLv2 or later;
see LICENSE.txt.

## Installation

Requires WordPress 6.7+, PHP 8.0+ and WooCommerce 9.9+. JavaScript is required for
the editor. Current matched release: Free 1.8.6 and Pro 1.8.6.

 1. Install and activate WooCommerce.
 2. In Plugins > Add New, search for Cartdini by pluginsshop and choose Install Now.
    Alternatively, use Upload Plugin with the Free ZIP.
 3. Use WordPress’s Activate Plugin control. A successful single manual activation 
    opens the Cartdini editor.
 4. Add your questions, review them and choose Save. For bulk/network activation, open
    WooCommerce > Cartdini yourself.
 5. Add a test product to your cart, then open checkout. Complete test checkouts, including
    missing or invalid answers, and check order/email display before using the configuration
    on a live store.

Back up your site before updating. Upload the new ZIP and choose Replace current
with uploaded; do not uninstall first. With Pro, update Free first and Pro second,
keeping both active. Pro 1.8.6 requires Free 1.8.4 or newer; the recommended matched
pair is 1.8.6. Settings and saved order answers are retained. Update pairs older
than 1.8.0 together: incompatible Pro extensions pause safely. Older formats/recovery:
administration-notes.txt.

## FAQ

### Does Free work without an account or license?

Yes. Free field editing and checkout features need no Cartdini account, license 
key or subscription. Free makes no requests to the Cartdini license service.

### Does activating Cartdini change my checkout immediately?

New installations enable no sample fields. Save to apply a configuration. Reactivation
resumes saved settings; previews and recovered drafts do not publish them.

### Does it work with WooCommerce Checkout Blocks and HPOS?

Yes. All nine Free custom field types support Classic and Checkout Blocks, and order
data uses WooCommerce’s CRUD APIs for HPOS and legacy orders. Existing-field controls
differ between checkouts as described above. Test your theme and payment extensions
on the actual checkout. The compatibility guide lists recorded environments and 
limits.

### Where can I see customers’ answers?

Answers stay with orders and, for supported contact/address fields, customer accounts.
Choose their display on supported order pages/emails; hiding answers does not delete
them. Order-answer CSV export and optional Orders-list answer columns belong to 
Pro.

### Can I make a question conditional, charge for a choice or accept a file?

Those are Pro features. Free collects ordinary notes. Pro adds conditions, fixed
positive fees for eligible order choices and private JPG/PNG/PDF files. Uploads 
and repeatable groups use the order location only. Pro’s initial license activation
unlocks editing and tools; disconnecting locks those tools while saved checkout 
behavior continues. Deactivating Pro pauses Pro-only behavior. Review the separate
add-on’s licensing and compatibility details.

### What happens to my unfinished work?

A draft stays in this browser tab for up to 24 hours, scoped to this administrator/
store. Closing the tab or clearing storage may remove it. Recovery checks newer 
settings and loads a draft for review; Save is still required. Custom fields and
native Blocks settings have separate save actions. Follow retry/reload guidance 
rather than deleting recovery records.

### Does deleting the plugin remove settings or order answers?

No. Deactivation and deletion retain configuration, recovery data and saved answers.
Removing a field does not erase historical answers. While Free and WooCommerce are
active, WordPress personal-data tools export saved account/order answers; erasure
removes account answers and follows WooCommerce’s order-retention settings. If an
order has private Pro uploads, keep or reactivate a compatible Pro for file erasure;
this needs no license. Failed or unreadable storage is reported for retry, and order
identity/answers are retained until private-file erasure can be checked safely. 
Removing both plugins leaves retained data outside their privacy tools.
