## Description

**PopVid** adds a floating, story-style video widget to your WordPress site. Visitors
tap a launcher, watch a short video answer, pick a follow-up question, and reach
you on WhatsApp or by phone — all without leaving the page.

Everything is configured from a single live-preview admin panel: choose your design,
drop in your videos, write your questions, and watch the phone + desktop preview
update instantly. No license key, no account — install and go.

#### Free edition includes

 * **Floating video widget** with a story-style launcher and full-screen player 
   panel.
 * **Up to 2 video questions** — each visitor taps a question and watches your video
   answer.
 * **Teaser (launcher) video** that autoplays in the round button to catch attention.
 * **WhatsApp + Click-to-Call buttons** with custom labels.
 * **Live admin customizer** — real phone + desktop preview that updates as you 
   type.
 * **Brand, colours, font, headline & tooltip** controls.
 * **Vertical (9:16) or horizontal (16:9)** video format.
 * **Position, launcher size & behaviour** (autoplay sequence, repeat, auto-hide).
 * Lightweight vanilla-JS front end — no jQuery, assets cache-busted automatically.

#### Upgrade to PopVid Pro

[PopVid Pro](https://wpopw.com/plugins/popvid/) unlocks the full toolkit for turning
the widget into a lead machine:

 * **50+ ready-made industry designs** (the free edition ships one).
 * **Unlimited questions + drill-in sub-questions.**
 * **“Call Me Back” lead capture** — visitors leave a phone number (all countries,
   auto dial code, live masking) behind your callback video. Requests are stored
   in your WordPress and emailed to you, with GDPR / CCPA / KVKK-ready consent.
 * **Built-in statistics** — impressions, opens, plays, completions, click and conversion
   rates, 7-day trends and top questions.
 * **Page-specific content** — different headline / videos / questions / design 
   per URL.
 * **Smart triggers** — auto-open on time delay, exit intent, scroll depth, or any
   click selector.
 * **Targeting** — by URL, device and traffic source (referrer).
 * **Business hours** — hide, disable, or switch the contact buttons to callback
   outside working hours.
 * **GA4 + Meta Pixel** conversion tracking.
 * **Cloudflare R2 / CDN hosting** — upload videos straight from the editor to your
   own bucket.

### Privacy

The free edition does not phone home unless you opt in, and there are two independent
opt-ins, both OFF by default:

 * **Usage ping** (see the FAQ) — transmits only your site URL and WordPress/plugin
   version to api.wpopw.com.
 * **Badge click counting** — by default the “Powered by PopVid” badge is an ordinary
   outbound link that sends nothing. Only if you enable click counting does a badge
   click send an anonymous ping (your site address and optional affiliate code) 
   to api.wpopw.com. No visitor data and no personal data are ever collected or 
   sent by either option.

### External services

This plugin relies on the following third-party / external services. What each one
is, what data is sent and when, and links to its terms and privacy policy are listed
below. The two api.wpopw.com features are opt-in and OFF by default; Google Fonts
is used to render the widget’s typeface.

**Google Fonts** (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com)
 The widget’s text is
displayed in a Google web font. On every page that shows the widget, the visitor’s
browser requests the selected font’s stylesheet from fonts.googleapis.com and the
font files from fonts.gstatic.com. As with any browser request, this exposes the
visitor’s IP address and user-agent to Google; the plugin itself sends no other 
data. This happens whenever the widget is displayed. Terms: https://developers.google.
com/fonts/faq — Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

**PopVid usage ping** (api.wpopw.com) — optional, OFF by default
 Only if the site
administrator explicitly opts in (“Help improve PopVid”), the plugin sends your 
site address (URL) and your WordPress and plugin version numbers to api.wpopw.com
so we can see which versions are in use and prioritise compatibility. It is sent
once when you opt in, about once a day while the plugin is active, and once on deactivation.
No visitor data and no personal data are sent. You can opt out at any time under
PopVid  Affiliate. This service is provided by WpopW. Terms: https://wpopw.com/legal/
terms — Privacy policy: https://wpopw.com/legal/privacy

**PopVid badge click counting & affiliate registration** (api.wpopw.com) — optional,
OFF by default
 The “Powered by PopVid” badge is an ordinary outbound link and sends
nothing by default. Only if you switch on click counting (PopVid  Affiliate) does
a click on the badge send an anonymous ping to api.wpopw.com containing your site
address and, if you have set one, your affiliate code, so the click can appear in
your affiliate dashboard. In addition, if you enter an affiliate code, that code
and your site address are sent once to api.wpopw.com when you save the settings,
to register/activate the code. No visitor data and no personal data are sent. This
service is provided by WpopW. Terms: https://wpopw.com/legal/terms — Privacy policy:
https://wpopw.com/legal/privacy

## Installation

 1. In WordPress go to **Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin** and choose the PopVid zip(
    or search “PopVid” in the plugin directory).
 2. Click **Install Now**, then **Activate**.
 3. Open **PopVid** in the admin menu and configure the widget. The live preview updates
    as you type.
 4. Add your video URLs, WhatsApp number and phone, then click **Save**. The widget
    is now live on your site.

The free edition works immediately — no license key required.

## FAQ

### Do I need a license or an account?

No. The free edition works out of the box with no key and no external activation.
A license is only needed for [PopVid Pro](https://wpopw.com/plugins/popvid/).

### Where do I host my videos?

Any public HTTPS video URL works — the WordPress Media Library, a CDN, etc. Direct-
to-Cloudflare-R2 uploading is a Pro feature.

### How many videos can I add in the free edition?

Up to 2 question videos plus a teaser (launcher) video. Unlimited questions and 
follow-up sub-questions are available in Pro.

### Will it slow down my site?

No. The front-end engine is a single lightweight vanilla-JS file with no jQuery 
dependency, and videos load on demand.

### Does it show a “Powered by PopVid” link?

By default the free edition shows a small “Powered by PopVid” credit on the widget.
You can turn it off any time under **PopVid  Affiliate**. If you keep it on and 
add your free affiliate code, the badge becomes your referral link and you earn 
a commission when someone you send buys a paid plan.

### Does it work with caching plugins?

Yes. The widget renders server-side as a pure function of the request, so page caches
stay correct.

### Does the plugin send any data to your servers?

Only if you choose to. There are two separate, off-by-default options:

 1. **Usage ping.** After activation we show a one-time notice asking whether you’d
    like to help improve PopVid. Only if you click “Sure, share” does the plugin send
    your site address (URL) and your WordPress + plugin version to api.wpopw.com — 
    nothing else.
 2. **Badge click counting.** The “Powered by PopVid” badge is a plain link and sends
    nothing by default. If you switch on click counting under **PopVid  Affiliate**,
    then when a visitor clicks the badge an anonymous ping (your site address and, 
    if set, your affiliate code — no visitor or personal data) is sent to api.wpopw.
    com so those clicks show in your affiliate dashboard.

Both are opt-in, and neither collects visitor or personal data. The widget works
fully with both turned off.

Since I started using PopVid, my bounce rate has decreased. The video presentation
is smooth and keeps visitors on the page longer.

## Changelog

#### 1.2.79

 * Documented all external services (Google Fonts and the two opt-in api.wpopw.com
   pings) in the readme.
 * The free edition no longer bundles any GA4 / Meta Pixel loader code (those are
   Pro-only), so it never contacts googletagmanager.com or connect.facebook.net.
 * Hardening: all admin form input is now recursively sanitized on input in addition
   to per-field validation.

#### 1.2.76

 * The “Powered by PopVid” badge can now be turned off from the settings (Affiliate
   tab).
 * Badge click counting is now a separate opt-in, off by default — the badge sends
   nothing unless you enable it.
 * Localized customer emails and various stability improvements.

#### 1.2.64

 * First public (free) edition of PopVid: 1 design, up to 2 videos, WhatsApp & Call
   buttons, live customizer.
