WooCommerce must be installed and active. ### Will my settings be kept if I update from an older 1.0.0-beta build? If you previously used this plugin under an earlier working name, the plugin performs a one-time, automatic migration of your saved settings the first time it runs after updating. ### Can I add custom CSS or JavaScript? No. To keep the plugin secure, it does not accept arbitrary CSS, JavaScript, or PHP from the settings screen. Banner appearance is controlled through the provided color pickers. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0e07089e65cb0633acdb039ac10f6a2263840a30dee552d393c4610d207f0414? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Nice one](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-one-452/)󠁿 [Peter Kagunda](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kagunda/) September 16, 2026 Delivers the job [ Read all 1 review ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/kagunda-stock-take-mode-for-woocommerce/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Kagunda Stock Take Mode for WooCommerce” is open source software.
