## Description

PinoyTrade Product Scanner Lite is a free WooCommerce browser-based scanner for 
quick product lookup and basic product updates.

Lite includes:

 * Barcode scanning through a supported phone or browser camera.
 * Open Scanner button and local QR code to the WordPress browser scanner.
 * Local scanner access code generated and stored in WordPress.
 * Product lookup by scanner barcode, SKU and product name.
 * Scanner barcode add/update/remove per WooCommerce product.
 * Barcode conflict checks.
 * Basic product updates for product name, SKU and stock quantity.
 * WooCommerce product edit metabox for the scanner barcode.

The scanner barcode table is the source of truth. Zettle, GTIN and feed fields such
as _zettle_barcode, _wc_gla_gtin and _webwinkelkeur_gtin are not used as scanner
barcode masters and are not updated by Lite.

Available in Pro: CSV import/export, Zettle sync, price and sale price updates, 
expiry date, stock location, native mobile app, Connect QR, REST API and future 
POS connection.

### Privacy

PinoyTrade Product Scanner Lite does not send scanner barcode data, product data
or usage data to PinoyTrade servers.

Scanner barcode data, scanner access code and product updates remain stored locally
in your WordPress/WooCommerce database. The local QR code is generated in the browser
from the local WordPress scanner URL. The plugin does not use external tracking 
and does not load external scripts or CDN assets.

### External Services

This Lite plugin does not require an external license server, trial server, activation
server or PinoyTrade cloud service.

### Uninstall / Data Retention

By default, uninstall does not automatically delete scanner barcode tables, change
logs or WooCommerce product meta. This prevents accidental loss of product barcode
history and local product data.

If you want to remove retained data, make a database backup first and then remove
the plugin tables and related product meta manually.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin ZIP through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Make sure WooCommerce is active.
 4. Open WooCommerce > Product Scanner Lite.
 5. Use the browser scanner or search field to find products by barcode, SKU or product
    name.

Only users with the manage_woocommerce capability can access the scanner and save
product changes. The phone/browser scanner uses the normal WordPress login plus 
a local scanner access code.

## FAQ

### Does Lite require a license key?

No. Lite works without a license key, trial period or external license check.

### Does the plugin update GTIN fields?

No. The scanner barcode is stored in the plugin’s own local table. The plugin does
not write to _wc_gla_gtin, _webwinkelkeur_gtin or other GTIN/feed fields.

### What happens when the same barcode is saved on the same product?

The plugin accepts it as no conflict/no meaningful change.

### What happens when the same barcode is saved on another product?

Saving is blocked to prevent barcode conflicts.

### Does Lite sync to Zettle?

No. Zettle sync is a Pro feature. Lite does not write to _zettle_barcode.

### Does Lite include price editing, sale price editing, expiry date, stock location, native apps, REST API or POS?

No. Those are not active in Lite.
