## Description

GoHeartMe is the all-in-one platform for creators to accept hearts (tips), memberships,
and digital shop purchases. This plugin brings your GoHeartMe presence into WordPress.

#### External Service

This plugin connects to the GoHeartMe API (https://goheartme.com) to fetch creator
metrics, generate widget images, and authenticate your account. No personal data
is sent to GoHeartMe without your explicit action (connecting your account). By 
using this plugin, you agree to the GoHeartMe Terms of Service (https://goheartme.
com/terms) and Privacy Policy (https://goheartme.com/privacy).

#### Features

 * **One-click connection**: authorize your GoHeartMe account from your WordPress
   dashboard. No manual tokens.
 * **Support Button widget**: display a support button on any post, page, or sidebar
   using a simple shortcode.
 * **Goal Tracker widget**: show your funding progress live on your site.
 * **Heart Gift form**: embed the full heart-gift form for fans to send hearts directly.
 * **Live metrics**: display total hearts, supporter count, or a full profile card
   anywhere.
 * **Dashboard snapshot**: see your key metrics (hearts, supporters, raised) right
   in the WP admin dashboard widget.
 * **7 shortcodes**: buttons, goal trackers, heart forms, counts, and profile cards
   with theme and dimension options.

#### Shortcodes

 Shortcode
 Description Example

 `[goheartme_button]`
 Standard support button badge `[goheartme_button theme="dark"]`

 `[goheartme_goal]`
 Goal tracker progress badge `[goheartme_goal title="My Goal"]`

 `[goheartme_gift]`
 Full heart-gift form (iframe) `[goheartme_gift width="300" 
height="350"]`

 `[goheartme_hearts]`
 Total hearts count `[goheartme_hearts]`

 `[goheartme_supporters]`
 Supporter count `[goheartme_supporters label="fans"]`

 `[goheartme_profile]`
 Full creator profile card `[goheartme_profile]`

All shortcodes accept a `username` attribute to override the default connected account.

#### Widget Previews

View live previews of every widget directly in your WordPress dashboard after connecting
your account. No guesswork: see exactly what your audience will see.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `goheartme-for-creators` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen
 3. Go to GoHeartMe  Settings in your WordPress admin
 4. Click **Connect to GoHeartMe** and authorize your account
 5. Use shortcodes to embed widgets on your site

## FAQ

### Do I need a GoHeartMe account?

Yes. Sign up for free at https://goheartme.com to create your creator profile. The
plugin walks you through account creation if you don't have one yet.

### Do the widgets require JavaScript?

The button and goal widgets are static badge images (no JS). The heart gift form
uses an iframe for the interactive experience.

### Can I use this with any WordPress theme?

Yes. All widgets use shortcodes that work with any theme. Inline styles keep the
widgets looking consistent.

### How do I display hearts on a page?

Use the `[goheartme_hearts]` shortcode anywhere in your content. It shows the total
hearts your audience has sent.

### Can I change the widget colors?

The support button and goal tracker support `theme="dark"` and `theme="light"` attributes.

### How often are metrics refreshed?

Metrics are cached for 5 minutes by default. You can adjust the cache duration in
GoHeartMe  Settings. The cache also refreshes automatically once daily.
