## Description

KartoDesk gives your team one fast screen for daily order work, without leaving 
WordPress.

 * **Overview** of the five most recent orders, clearly labelled as a snapshot rather
   than store-wide totals.
 * **Orders list** with search, status filter, pagination and bulk status changes(
   with a confirmation).
 * **Order workspace** with items, photos, SKU and variation details, an exact totals
   breakdown (items, discount, fees, shipping, tax, refunds), shipping and billing
   addresses, the customer’s checkout note, guest or registered customer, and payment
   details.
 * **Products and inventory**: browse products, create simple products using Media
   Library image URLs and update stock.
 * **Customers**: search registered customers.
 * **Reports**: filter orders and inventory and export CSV.
 * **Settings**: panel name and theme, store details and WordPress account access.
 * **Order notes**: read and add private notes or customer-facing notes. The email
   consequence is shown before a customer note is added.
 * **Shipment tracking** without another plugin: courier, tracking number, optional
   HTTPS tracking link and shipped date, stored on the order. Optionally add a customer-
   facing tracking note.

KartoDesk uses WooCommerce’s own REST API inside your site as the signed-in user.
It needs no API keys, stores no data of its own beyond tracking on the order, and
makes no requests to external services.

#### Who can use it

Administrators always have full access, and Shop managers start with full access.
Under KartoDesk > Settings, administrators choose what each other role can do: view
orders, change order status, add private notes, notify customers, manage shipment
tracking, view products, edit products, change stock, view customers, view reports,
open settings, issue refunds, manage discounts, edit customers and run maintenance
tools. Permissions are standard WordPress capabilities (prefixed `kartodesk_`), 
so role-editor plugins can manage them as well. WooCommerce’s own permission checks
still apply to every request.

#### Emails

Customer-facing notes are sent by WooCommerce’s **Customer note** email to the order’s
billing email, if that email is enabled under WooCommerce  Settings  Emails. KartoDesk
reports only that WooCommerce accepted the note; it cannot confirm delivery. Changing
an order status can also trigger WooCommerce’s own status emails.

#### Source code

The JavaScript in `build/` is compiled from TypeScript and React source in the public
repository: https://github.com/shantz1/wooops (the panel components are in `src/`,
the plugin entry in `wordpress/`). Build it with `npm ci && npm run build:wp`.

### Privacy

KartoDesk does not track users or send telemetry. Its own scripts and styles load
locally; product images can use the store’s image or CDN URLs. It displays customer
details that WooCommerce already stores, only to users who can manage WooCommerce.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate WooCommerce.
 2. Upload the `kartodesk-for-woocommerce` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or upload
    the zip under Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin.
 3. Activate **KartoDesk for WooCommerce**.
 4. Open **KartoDesk** in the admin menu.

## FAQ

### Does it change my orders automatically?

No. Adding tracking does not change the order status and does not email anyone unless
you choose to add a customer-facing note.

### Where is tracking stored?

In the order’s `wooops_shipments` metadata, in the same format as the standalone
WooOps app, so both can be used on one store. It does not appear in other shipment
tracking plugins.

### Can two people edit tracking on the same order at once?

Avoid it. Tracking is saved as one value on the order; two simultaneous edits can
overwrite each other. Reload the order before editing if others may be working on
it.

### Does it support High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS)?

Yes. It works through WooCommerce’s REST controllers and declares HPOS compatibility.

### What else can I manage?

Products, simple product creation, stock, registered customers, order and inventory
reports with CSV, and panel settings. Product and customer lists have pagination.
Reports load up to 500 records and flag incomplete results; inventory reports exclude
variation stock. Enabling stock management requires explicit confirmation.
