## Description

Codestorm Technology Ticketing for WooCommerce is a lightweight ticketing layer 
that works with WooCommerce. It keeps payments and product pricing in WooCommerce
and adds the essentials needed to issue and validate tickets.

Version 1.0.8 includes:

 * A simple Ticketing for WooCommerce dashboard.
 * Ticket-enabled WooCommerce products.
 * Global visit calendar with open weekdays and time slots.
 * Visit date/time captured in the cart and order.
 * One ticket per purchased unit after payment confirmation.
 * Local QR Code generation. Ticket QR payloads are not sent to third-party QR services.
 * Downloadable ticket PDFs generated locally by the plugin, with the QR drawn from
   the bundled QR matrix.
 * Ticket links added to customer WooCommerce emails.
 * Admin check-in with read-before-confirm flow.
 * Atomic one-time consumption: a second entry is blocked.
 * Optional camera scanning through the browser BarcodeDetector API, with manual/
   USB scanner fallback.
 * Basic ticket list, settings and help screens.
 * Ticket, calendar and protected operator check-in shortcodes.
 * WordPress personal data exporter and eraser integration.
 * RTL, keyboard-focus and reduced-motion friendly admin UI.

The plugin does not process payments itself. WooCommerce remains responsible for
products, prices, checkout, payment gateways, taxes and refunds.

### Privacy

The plugin stores the minimum purchaser information needed to issue and validate
tickets: order reference, ticket code, customer name/e-mail, visit date/time and
usage state. Check-in audit records store hashed IP address and hashed user-agent
values rather than their raw values.

The plugin registers with the WordPress personal data exporter and eraser tools.
Erasure anonymizes customer name/e-mail and the WordPress user reference while retaining
the order reference and operational ticket state for transaction integrity.

QR Codes and ticket PDFs are generated locally. Version 1.0.9 does not send ticket
payloads to any Codestorm Technology service.

### External services

The plugin does not contact a Codestorm Technology API or cloud service. QR Codes
and ticket PDFs are generated locally by the bundled PHP libraries.

WooCommerce itself, payment gateways, e-mail providers, hosting services, browser
features and other extensions installed by the site owner may communicate with their
own external services independently of this plugin.

The optional camera scanner uses the browser BarcodeDetector API when the visitor’s
browser supports it; the plugin does not upload camera images to Codestorm Technology.

### Third-party libraries

The production ZIP bundles only the following runtime libraries locally; no CDN 
is required. Their upstream license files remain included under `vendor/`.

 * chillerlan/php-qrcode 6.0.1 — MIT and Apache-2.0
 * chillerlan/php-settings-container 3.3.0 — MIT

Ticket PDFs are generated by the plugin itself with core PDF operators. QR graphics
are drawn directly from the local QR matrix, so no HTML-to-PDF library, remote QR
service or CDN is required.

The plugin folder and text domain are `codestormtechnology-ticketing-woocommerce`,
matching the requested WordPress.org permalink. Existing database keys and `aibo_*`
implementation prefixes are retained only for upgrade/data compatibility and are
not the plugin display name or permalink.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate WooCommerce.
 2. Upload the `codestormtechnology-ticketing-woocommerce` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
    or install the ZIP through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
 3. Activate Codestorm Technology Ticketing for WooCommerce.
 4. Open Ticketing for WooCommerce > Calendar and configure available days and times.
 5. Create or edit a WooCommerce product and enable the ticket option in Product data
    > General.
 6. Complete a test purchase and use Ticketing for WooCommerce > Check-in to validate
    the generated ticket.

## FAQ

### Which shortcodes are available?

[codestorm_ticketing_tickets] lists published WooCommerce products marked as tickets.
Optional parameters: `limit` and `columns`.

    ```
    [codestorm_ticketing_calendar] shows the next available dates and time slots from the global calendar. Optional parameters: `days` and `limit`.

    [codestorm_ticketing_checkin] provides a protected front-end check-in for authenticated users who have ticket-validation permission. Reading a ticket does not consume it; confirmation is still required.
    ```

For backward compatibility, the legacy shortcode aliases `[ai_box_office_tickets]`,`[
ai_box_office_calendar]` and `[ai_box_office_checkin]` are also accepted.

### Does the plugin handle payments?

No. WooCommerce remains responsible for products, prices, checkout, payment gateways,
taxes and refunds.

### Does reading a QR Code immediately use the ticket?

No. Reading only inspects the ticket. The operator must press Confirm entry to consume
it.

### Can the same ticket be used twice?

No. The database update that consumes a ticket only succeeds while the ticket is
still active. Later attempts are rejected.

### Is the QR Code sent to an external API?

No. QR images are rendered locally using the bundled QR library.

### Where are ticket PDFs stored?

They are generated on demand and streamed to the authorized requester. Version 1.0.9
does not store generated PDF files permanently.

### Does it support WooCommerce HPOS?

The plugin uses WooCommerce order APIs and declares compatibility with High-Performance
Order Storage.

### Can I use a USB QR scanner?

Yes. Scanners that behave like a keyboard can fill the check-in field. Supported
browsers can also use the camera through the BarcodeDetector API.
