## Description

**Heartly** connects your WooCommerce store to the Heartly flash sales platform.
Create time-limited sales with countdown timers, automatic checkout redirects, and
real-time analytics — all from the Heartly dashboard.

#### What this plugin does

 * **Automatic checkout redirect**: Customers who click “Go to Checkout” on a Heartly
   flash sale land directly on your checkout page with the product in their cart
 * **Coupon application**: Discount codes from flash sale URLs are automatically
   applied at checkout
 * **Order tracking**: Flash sale ID is saved to each order so you can measure campaign
   revenue
 * **Price history sync**: Product price changes are forwarded to Heartly for PAngV
   compliance tracking
 * **Settings sync**: Your checkout and cart URLs are kept in sync with the Heartly
   platform automatically

#### Who this is for

WooCommerce store owners who want to run flash sales without touching code. You 
create the campaign in the Heartly dashboard, install this plugin once, and it handles
the storefront logic.

#### Requirements

 * A Heartly account — sign up at [heartly.io](https://www.heartly.io)
 * WooCommerce 5.0 or higher
 * WordPress 5.8 or higher
 * PHP 7.4 or higher

 4. Go to WooCommerce  Heartly to confirm the connection

**Option B — From your Heartly dashboard**

 1. Sign up or log in at [heartly.io](https://www.heartly.io)

## FAQ

### Do I need a Heartly account?

Yes. This plugin is the WooCommerce-side bridge for the Heartly platform. Without
a Heartly account the plugin has no effect. You can sign up free at [heartly.io](https://www.heartly.io).

### Will this affect my normal WooCommerce functionality?

No. The checkout redirect and coupon logic only activates when a customer arrives
via a Heartly flash sale URL (URL contains `flash_sale_id` or `heartly=1`). All 
standard WooCommerce behavior is unchanged.

### Can I disable the auto-redirect to checkout?

Yes. Go to WooCommerce  Heartly and uncheck **Auto-Redirect to Checkout**.

### What data is sent to Heartly?

When the plugin is active and connected, the following data is sent to heartly.io:

 * Your store’s checkout and cart URLs (on activation and once every 24 hours)
 * Product price changes (used for PAngV compliance price history)
 * Order metadata when a purchase originates from a Heartly flash sale (flash sale
   ID only)
 * A deactivation signal when the plugin is deactivated

No customer personal data (name, email, address) is ever sent to Heartly.

### Is this GDPR compliant?

Yes. The plugin does not collect or transmit customer personal data. Order tracking
only stores the internal Heartly flash sale ID as order metadata. A GDPR data exporter
and eraser are included for completeness.

## Changelog

#### 1.1.5 – 2026-06-10

 * Fixed: Plugin Check errors — replaced parse_url() with wp_parse_url() in settings
   sync, added translators comment to GDPR eraser message
 * Fixed: Plugin Check warnings — documented intentional cases for storefront query
   inspection (read-only) and GDPR meta_query (Privacy Tools only) with inline phpcs:
   ignore annotations

#### 1.1.4 – 2026-06-10

 * Fixed: Fatal error on activation in the WordPress.org build — get_shop_url() 
   was removed together with the updater code but is required by the settings sync.
   The method now lives outside the updater block.

#### 1.1.3 – 2026-05-30

 * Security: REST `/heartly/v1/status` endpoint now uses `__return_true` permission
   callback. The endpoint returns only plugin status and version (intentionally 
   public, no PII or fingerprinting); the previous header-presence check was security
   theatre and has been removed.

#### 1.1.2 – 2026-05-21

 * Updated: Declared Tested up to WordPress 7.0

#### 1.1.1 – 2026-05-21

 * Fixed: Plugin URI now resolves to the public WooCommerce plugin landing page

 * Updated: Contributors list now reflects all WordPress.org committers

#### 1.1.0 – 2026-04-01

 * Added: PAngV-compliant price history ingestion (save_post_product, updated_post_meta,
   woocommerce_update_product_variation hooks)
 * Added: HEARTLY_WPORG_BUILD constant support — disables custom updater when running
   as a WP.org-distributed plugin
 * Improved: Variation price changes now walk up to the parent product for complete
   payload

#### 1.0.27 – 2026-03-25

 * Updated: Declared Tested up to WordPress 6.9.4 and WC tested up to 10.6.1

#### 1.0.25 – 2026-03-24

 * Updated: Declared Tested up to WordPress 6.9 and WC tested up to 10.6

#### 1.0.24 – 2026-03-24

 * Fixed: WooCommerce QIT Security — logging uses WooCommerce logger; admin UI uses
   proper escaping

#### 1.0.23 – 2026-03-24

 * Fixed: Auto-redirect only runs for Heartly flash-sale URLs, not standard add-
   to-cart
 * Fixed: Settings/webhook sync messages no longer write to PHP error log unless
   HEARTLY_DIAGNOSTIC is enabled

#### 1.0.22 – 2026-03-24

 * Fixed: WooCommerce dependency check and admin notice load order
 * Fixed: Settings checkbox saves correctly when auto-redirect is disabled

#### 1.0.11 – 2025-12-04
