## Description

NowOrCry is where local shops post deals and shoppers nearby grab them. This plugin
puts your shop’s live NowOrCry deals on your WordPress site.

 * **Four layouts** – a swipeable carousel, cards, a compact list for sidebars, 
   or one spotlight deal.
 * **One deal in a post** – paste a deal’s link from NowOrCry on its own line and
   it becomes the live deal card. Inside a sentence, the link gets a small live 
   price tag.
 * **Always live** – deals load from NowOrCry in the visitor’s browser on every 
   page view. Nothing is stored on your site, so page-cache plugins and CDNs never
   show an old deal. Time left counts down on the page, and a deal that ends or 
   sells out leaves your site by itself.
 * **Follow button** – visitors follow your shop on NowOrCry and get your next deals
   on their phone.
 * **Block, widget and shortcode** – `[noworcry_deals layout="carousel" count="6"]`.
 * **Private API key** – your key stays on your server. Visitors never see it.
 * **You stay in control** – revoke the key in NowOrCry and your deals leave the
   site at the next page view, even on cached pages.
 * **No credit link unless you want one** – a small “Deals by NowOrCry” link is 
   off by default.

#### Shortcode options

    ```
    [noworcry_deals layout="carousel" count="6" follow="yes" new_tab="yes" prices="yes"]
    ```

 * `layout` – carousel, cards, list or spotlight
 * `count` – 1 to 24
 * `follow`, `new_tab`, `prices` – yes or no

### External services

This plugin shows deals from NowOrCry (https://noworcry.com), a service run by Connester
SB Global Tech Private Limited. It cannot work without it.

 * **When you save an API key** in Settings › NowOrCry Deals, your server sends 
   the key to https://api.noworcry.com to check it and learn your shop’s name. The
   key is sent only from your server, never from a visitor’s browser.
 * **When a visitor opens a page with deals** (a block, widget, shortcode or pasted
   deal link), the visitor’s browser asks https://api.noworcry.com for that shop’s
   or that deal’s current public details: title, price, picture, time left and coupons
   left. The request carries the shop or deal id and your API key’s id (not the 
   key itself), so NowOrCry can stop showing deals on your site when you revoke 
   the key. No cookies or visitor details are sent; like any web request, NowOrCry
   receives the visitor’s IP address and browser details.
 * **Pictures** of deals load from NowOrCry’s image service.

## Blocks

This plugin provides 1 block.

 *   NowOrCry Deals Your shop's live deals from NowOrCry. They load fresh for every
   visitor, so an ended deal never shows.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate the plugin.
 2. On noworcry.com open your store’s Settings › API Keys and create a key with “Read
    deals” and “Read store profile”.
 3. In WordPress open Settings › NowOrCry Deals, paste the key and press Save & test.
 4. Add the NowOrCry Deals block, the widget or the shortcode – or paste a deal’s link
    into a post.

## FAQ

### Will a caching plugin show old deals?

No. The page only holds an empty box; deals are fetched fresh from NowOrCry in the
visitor’s browser every time, with caching switched off for those requests.

### What if NowOrCry cannot be reached?

The box shows a plain “See our deals on NowOrCry” link – never old deals.

### How do I take the deals off my site?

Revoke the key in NowOrCry (your store’s Settings › API Keys). From the next page
view the deal boxes are empty, even on cached pages. Or press Disconnect in Settings›
NowOrCry Deals.

### Can I show another shop’s deal?

Yes – paste any public NowOrCry deal link into a post.

## Changelog

#### 1.0.2

   NowOrCry checks it on every view.
 * The settings page warns when NowOrCry no longer accepts your key.
 * Permission names match the NowOrCry dashboard: “Read deals” and “Read store profile”.
 * A deal without a picture, or whose picture can no longer be loaded, shows NowOrCry’s
   placeholder instead of an empty tile.

#### 1.0.1

 * Settings: the live price tag example is shown in dollars.

#### 1.0.0

 * First release.
