## Description

StoreRuler is a free WooCommerce order management plugin and back office for small
shops. Prepare and ship orders from one order desk, print pick lists and packing
slips, give customers an order tracking page, fix products with missing details,
see live carts and follow your sales, all inside the WordPress admin.

StoreRuler works on top of WooCommerce. It reads the orders, products and customers
you already have, so there is nothing to import, and they stay WooCommerce records.
WooCommerce’s own screens keep working.

#### What you can do with it

 * **Get through the day’s orders.** See what is new, what is being prepared and
   what is ready to ship.
 * **Pack with fewer mistakes.** Confirm each line by scanning or typing its SKU
   or barcode.
 * **Answer “where is my order?”** Send the tracking details, or let customers look
   them up themselves.
 * **Keep the catalogue clean.** Find products with no price, SKU, photo, barcode
   or category, and fix them from the list.
 * **See demand you would otherwise miss.** Live carts, back-in-stock requests and
   shop searches that found nothing.

#### WooCommerce order management

 * **Order desk.** Every order in one list, grouped by stage: New, Preparing, Ready
   to ship and Completed. Filter by payment status, date and sales channel, and 
   search by order number, customer name, email or phone.
 * **Saved views.** Save a set of filters under a name, for yourself or for the 
   whole team.
 * **Order page.** The next step at the top, then the products with photos, the 
   payment summary, shipping details and the order’s activity.
 * **Preparing and shipping.** Confirm each line by scanning or typing its SKU or
   barcode. Record the shipment with carrier, tracking number and expected delivery
   date, or record that the customer collected the order in person.
 * **Several orders at once.** Start preparing the selected orders, or mark them
   ready, in one step. An order that cannot take the step is listed with the reason.
 * **CSV export.** Download the selected orders as a CSV file for a spreadsheet.

#### Pick lists and packing slips

 * **Printouts.** For up to 100 selected orders: a pick list with each product once
   and the units to pick per order, packing slips without prices, and order summaries
   with WooCommerce’s totals.

#### Shipment and order tracking

 * **Tracking messages.** Send the customer their tracking details with WooCommerce’s
   customer note email after a preview, copy the message, or open it as a WhatsApp
   draft.
 * **Carrier list.** Keep the names of up to eight carriers you use, so recording
   a shipment is one choice.
 * **“Where is my order?” page.** Customers see their order’s status and tracking
   numbers by order number and email.

#### Product management and stock

 * **Product list.** One row per product, with its variations underneath. Search
   by name, SKU or barcode, and show published products or those that are drafts,
   pending review, private or scheduled.
 * **Quick edit.** Change regular and sale prices right in the list, and the name,
   SKU and barcode in the product window. A change made elsewhere in the meantime
   is never overwritten.
 * **Product window.** A wide window with the product’s details, prices and stock,
   and a table of every variation for changing SKUs and prices together.
 * **Product health.** Counts and filters for products that are out of stock, or
   that have no price, SKU, photo, barcode or category other than “Uncategorized”.
 * **New simple product.** One form for name, prices, SKU or barcode, photo and 
   stock. Products with options are created in WooCommerce’s product editor.
 * **AI text for one product.** Draft a description or photo alt text with your 
   own OpenAI key; review it before applying.

#### Customer management

 * **Customer directory.** Every customer account, including people who have not
   ordered yet. Search matches words across name, company, email and phone numbers
   written in different ways.
 * **Customer card.** Orders and spending per currency, what is still to be paid,
   recent orders and a timeline, plus your team’s notes, tags and contact preferences(
   email, SMS, WhatsApp).

#### Live carts, back-in-stock notifications and lost searches

 * **Live carts** (on unless you turn them off). Web carts changed in the last hour
   and those left longer, with products, estimated totals and where the shopper 
   came from (Instagram, Google, Yandex and others, as WooCommerce order attribution
   recorded it). Guests stay anonymous; a signed-in customer’s cart links to their
   card, and your team’s carts are marked as tests. Cart data is deleted after 72
   hours, or at once when you turn live carts off.
 * **Back-in-stock requests** (off until you turn them on). Shoppers can ask, with
   a consent box, for one email when an out-of-stock product or variation is back.
   StoreRuler then sends each of them one WooCommerce email (editable under WooCommerce
   Settings  Emails, or sent by hand) and shows how many shoppers wait for each 
   product.
 * **Searches with no results.** Shop searches of the last 30 days that found no
   product, most searched first. Only the words are kept; email addresses, links,
   phone numbers and your team’s searches are left out.

#### URL redirects, 404 report and SEO health

 * **URL redirects and 404 report.** 301, 302 or 410 redirects for an address or
   everything under it, with CSV import and export. A renamed category, tag or brand
   redirects from its old address by itself. The 404 report lists the missing addresses,
   each with a Redirect button that opens the redirect form already filled in; it
   keeps the path, the visit count and the referring site, never IP addresses.
 * **SEO health.** A score and the top SEO issues, read only.

#### Sales reports and dashboard

 * **Home.** Net sales, orders and average order for 7, 30 or 90 days against the
   period before, with daily sales, orders by stage, best sellers and stock that
   needs attention.
 * **Today.** A start to the day: the orders waiting to be prepared or paid. A new
   store also gets a setup checklist (store details, first product, payment methods)
   on the Help page.
 * **Sales report.** Net sales, orders, average order and refunds for 7, 30 or 90
   days against the period before, with daily sales, best sellers and cash on delivery
   still to collect, and a detailed view for any dates by channel and currency with
   refunds, amounts still due, current stock and saved report views.

#### Built for everyday work

 * **Four languages.** English, Turkish, German and Spanish are included. StoreRuler
   follows your WordPress language settings.
 * **On your phone.** Add StoreRuler to your phone’s home screen and open it like
   an app, with a shortcut to the order desk. It is the same signed-in admin; nothing
   is stored for offline use.
 * **Store health and support report.** Checks the store details and time zone, 
   the checkout (and, for stores shipping in Turkey, that it asks for a phone number),
   payment methods, policy pages, product details, a first test order, the WordPress
   scheduler and StoreRuler’s storage. It changes nothing. The support file lists
   versions, plugins and a few settings, without customer data.
 * **Email history.** Every email your site handed to its mail server in the last
   30 days, with the result, and the reason when it could not be sent.
 * **Store email connection.** An administrator can connect an existing email account
   in Settings  Email, verify it with a test code and send WordPress and WooCommerce
   emails through it. Existing email plugins keep control of their own connection.
 * **Activity log.** Who did what in StoreRuler and when, such as order steps, product
   edits and setting changes, with links to the records.
 * **Search.** One search box for orders (also by tracking number), customers, products
   and StoreRuler’s screens.
 * **Privacy tools.** StoreRuler’s data (back-in-stock requests, email history, 
   signed-in customers’ carts, customer notes, tags and contact preferences) joins
   WordPress’s personal data export and erasure. When WooCommerce removes an order’s
   personal data, StoreRuler removes its own copies too.

### StoreRuler Pro

StoreRuler Pro is a separate, paid plugin from Eren Labs, sold in three plans. It
runs instead of the free plugin and uses the same StoreRuler data and settings.

 * **Pro**, for stores that sell online: manual and phone orders, returns and order
   editing, payments and collections, campaigns, cart reminders, gift cards and 
   store credit, Google and Meta product feeds, bulk editing, smart categories, 
   bundles, reviews and product questions, an SEO centre, AI Studio with your own
   OpenAI account, reports, team roles, automations and phone notifications.
 * **Plus**, for shops with a till, stock and suppliers: everything in Pro, plus
   a quick-sale screen and cash register, purchase orders, suppliers and goods in,
   stock counts with barcodes, landed cost and profit, files for your accountant,
   and sales on account with customer statements.
 * **Business**, for stores that also sell to dealers: everything in Plus, plus 
   dealer groups and wholesale price lists, quotes and prices on request, payment
   terms and credit limits per customer, and receivables.

Everything described above works without Pro and has no time limit. More about StoreRuler
Pro: [storeruler.com](https://storeruler.com/)

### External services

StoreRuler uses Freemius and, only when you choose to connect them, your email provider
and OpenAI, in the cases listed below.

Apart from Freemius and the optional email and OpenAI connections described below,
the free version contacts no external service: it calls no third-party API, and 
it loads no fonts, scripts or images from other servers.

**Freemius** (Freemius, Inc.) runs StoreRuler’s optional data-sharing opt-in and
the plans, checkout and licenses of StoreRuler Pro.

 * **Opt-in.** The first time you open StoreRuler, it asks whether you want to share
   data with Freemius. If you click “Allow & Continue”, Freemius receives the first
   name, last name and email address of the WordPress user who clicked; your site’s
   address and title, WordPress and PHP versions and site language; the StoreRuler
   and Freemius SDK versions and whether StoreRuler is active, deactivated or uninstalled;
   and the names, versions and status of your installed plugins and themes, unless
   you switch that list off on the same screen. Freemius keeps this information 
   up to date while you stay opted in. If you click “Skip”, nothing is sent. You
   can opt in or out later from the Plugins screen.
 * **StoreRuler Pro page.** The StoreRuler Pro page (“Upgrade to Pro” in the StoreRuler
   admin menu, `admin.php?page=storesuit-pro`) is part of StoreRuler and loads nothing
   from Freemius or any other server. Its buttons are plain links, and nothing reaches
   Freemius until you click one. For a site administrator they open Freemius’s checkout
   for the chosen plan, which loads the plan and its price from Freemius (the request
   includes the StoreRuler version and your site’s address). Buying a plan sends
   the opt-in details above, and the checkout asks for what it needs for the payment.
   While Freemius is not set up for StoreRuler, and for shop managers, the buttons
   open StoreRuler’s page on storeruler.com instead.
 * **Contact Us.** This link in the StoreRuler admin menu opens a contact form on
   the Freemius website and passes it your site’s address, its login address and
   the StoreRuler version.
 * **Deactivation feedback.** When you deactivate StoreRuler, Freemius may ask why.
   Answering is optional. If you send an answer, Freemius receives it when the plugin
   is deleted: with an anonymous site ID if you tick “Anonymous feedback”, otherwise
   with the opt-in details above.

Freemius’s [terms of service](https://freemius.com/terms/) and [privacy policy](https://freemius.com/privacy/)
apply to these cases.

Links that a team member clicks, such as “Send on WhatsApp” or a carrier’s tracking
page, open that website in their browser; StoreRuler itself sends nothing to it.
Emails such as back-in-stock and tracking emails go out through your site’s own 
email setup.

**Your email provider (optional).** Settings  Email can connect an existing Hostinger
Email, Gmail/Google Workspace or other provider account using authenticated SMTP
over verified TLS on port 465 or 587. Saving an account stores its credentials encrypted
in your WordPress database; it sends nothing and leaves the connection disabled.
Clicking “Send one test email” resolves the chosen server and sends its sign-in 
details and one verification email to that server, addressed only to the current
administrator’s WordPress account. Enabling requires the code from the received 
test email. Once enabled, WordPress and WooCommerce messages use this account: the
provider receives the sign-in credentials, sender, recipients, subject, content 
and any attachments of each message. Each feature’s own sending and consent settings
still apply. Eren Labs receives none of these details. Turning the connection off
returns to the previous WordPress email settings; disconnecting removes the saved
credentials. If an email plugin already handles delivery, StoreRuler preserves it
and can test that existing connection.

The account owner’s chosen provider’s terms and privacy policy apply. Presets: Hostinger’s
[terms](https://www.hostinger.com/legal/universal-terms-of-service-agreement) and
[privacy policy](https://www.hostinger.com/legal/privacy-policy); Google’s [terms](https://policies.google.com/terms)
and [privacy policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy). For another provider,
consult the terms and privacy policy for that account. Provider instructions are
ordinary links that open only when clicked.

**OpenAI (optional).** Only when a team member asks for an AI draft for a product,
StoreRuler sends that product’s texts, categories and attributes, or its main photo,
to api.openai.com with the store’s own key (details in the FAQ). OpenAI’s [terms of use](https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use/)
and [privacy policy](https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy/) apply.

### Privacy

StoreRuler stores its data in your WordPress database and sends nothing to Eren 
Labs, except what you choose to share through Freemius (see External services). 
You stay responsible for your customers’ data, so mention the features you turn 
on, such as back-in-stock emails and live carts, in your privacy notice.

Optional email credentials use authenticated encryption bound to this site’s WordPress
salts. They are never returned to the browser, included in StoreRuler settings backups
or support reports, or added to personal-data exports. Reconnect the account after
changing the site’s salts or moving the encrypted settings to another site. A test
code is stored only as a hash, expires after 10 minutes and is limited to five attempts.
Email servers accepting a message does not guarantee delivery to the inbox.
 Deleting
StoreRuler removes its saved email credentials and setup-test records; store business
records are retained. The optional OpenAI key is encrypted the same way and removed
on deletion.

While it is active, StoreRuler deletes time-limited data by itself: live carts after
72 hours; email history after 30 days (at most 5,000 entries); shop searches after
30 days; 404 report entries 30 days after they were last seen; sent or cancelled
back-in-stock requests 90 days after the request, and requests still waiting after
one year. The activity log has no automatic time limit. The back-in-stock form uses
the visitor’s IP address only in hashed form, for an hourly limit; the address itself
is not stored. The order tracking page counts failed lookups for an hour under hashed
keys only.

See the [StoreRuler privacy policy](https://storeruler.com/privacy/).

## Installation

 1. Install and activate WooCommerce 8.0 or later.
 2. In WordPress, go to Plugins  Add New Plugin, search for “StoreRuler”, then click
    Install Now and Activate.
 3. Open StoreRuler from the admin menu. The first time, you are asked whether to share
    some data with Freemius; click “Skip” to continue without sharing anything.
 4. Optional: on an empty store, open Help  Quick actions in StoreRuler and click “
    Try with sample data” to look around with a few sample products, customers and 
    orders. “Remove sample data” deletes them again.
 5. Optional: turn on live carts and back-in-stock requests under Marketing.
 6. Optional: in StoreRuler  Settings  Email, verify your current email connection 
    or connect the store’s existing email account. Complete the email provider’s domain
    authentication settings for reliable delivery.
 7. Optional: open StoreRuler  Settings  System and fix what Store health marks as “
    Fix first”.

StoreRuler needs WordPress 6.5 or later, PHP 8.0 or later, WooCommerce 8.0 or later,
and a MySQL or MariaDB database with InnoDB tables.

## FAQ

### Is StoreRuler free?

Yes. Everything under Description works for free, with no time limit and no account.
StoreRuler Pro is a separate, paid plugin for stores that need more.

### Can I print pick lists and packing slips for several orders at once?

Yes, for up to 100 selected orders. The pick list shows each product once with the
units to pick per order; packing slips leave out prices; order summaries use WooCommerce’s
totals. They are working papers, not tax invoices.

### Can I scan barcodes when I pack an order?

Yes. When you prepare an order, confirm each line by scanning or typing its SKU 
or barcode.

### Can customers track their order without an account?

Yes. On the “Where is my order?” page a customer enters the order number and the
email address on the order; no account or login is needed. They see the order’s 
status and its tracking numbers.

### How do back-in-stock notifications work?

Turn back-in-stock requests on under StoreRuler  Marketing. Out-of-stock products
and variations then show a short form with a consent box. When the product is back
in stock, StoreRuler sends each waiting shopper one WooCommerce email, which you
can edit under WooCommerce  Settings  Emails, and it shows you how many shoppers
wait for each product.

### Can StoreRuler fix 404 errors?

It finds them and helps you redirect them. The 404 report lists the addresses visitors
asked for in the last 30 days that your store does not have, with visit counts and
the referring site. The Redirect button on each row opens the redirect form with
the old address filled in: choose the new address and save. A renamed category, 
tag or brand redirects from its old address by itself.

### Which sales reports are included?

Home and the sales report show net sales, orders, average order and refunds for 
7, 30 or 90 days against the period before, with daily sales, best sellers and cash
on delivery still to collect. A detailed view covers any dates, by channel and currency.

### Can I manage WooCommerce orders on my phone?

Yes, in your phone’s browser. You can also add StoreRuler to the home screen and
open it like an app, with a shortcut to the order desk. It is the same signed-in
WordPress admin; nothing is stored for offline use.

### Can StoreRuler recover abandoned carts?

The free version shows you live carts and carts left for longer, with their products
and estimated totals; it sends shoppers no reminders. Cart reminders are part of
StoreRuler Pro.

### Can I bulk edit products?

In the free version you can edit prices right in the product list and set the regular
or sale price of all variations of a product at once, after a preview. Bulk editing
across products is part of StoreRuler Pro.

### Does StoreRuler replace WooCommerce’s screens?

No. StoreRuler adds its own screens and leaves WooCommerce’s in place. Orders, products
and customers stay WooCommerce records, so a change made in one place shows in the
other. When an order is fully shipped or handed over and nothing is left to pay,
StoreRuler sets it to Completed in WooCommerce; when you cancel an order, it is 
cancelled in WooCommerce, which restores its stock. WooCommerce sends its usual 
emails for these status changes.

### Are the contract templates legal advice?

No. Contract templates (the Turkish pre-information form and distance sales contract)
are provided as drafts, not legal advice: the store owner is responsible for checking
them (preferably with a lawyer), adapting them and keeping them up to date. StoreRuler
asks you to confirm this once before it uses them.

### Do I need an account to use StoreRuler?

No. The free version works without an account with Eren Labs or Freemius. The data-
sharing opt-in shown when you first open StoreRuler is optional. StoreRuler Pro 
needs a license, bought through Freemius.

### What data leaves my site?

None by default. StoreRuler keeps its data in your WordPress database and does not
connect to any Eren Labs server. Data leaves your site only:

 * if you opt in to share data with Freemius, click a plan button on the StoreRuler
   Pro page, use the Contact Us link or send deactivation feedback (see External
   services);
 * when your site sends emails, such as back-in-stock emails or a tracking email
   you send to a customer, through your own email setup;
 * when a team member asks for an AI draft for a product, after an administrator
   connected the store’s own OpenAI key (see External services);
 * when a team member opens a link, such as a WhatsApp draft or a carrier’s tracking
   page, in their browser.

The support report is a file you download. It reaches us only if you send it to 
us.

### How does the AI text for a product work?

An administrator enters the store’s own OpenAI API key in a product’s Content tab.
Saving it sends nothing; it is stored encrypted in your WordPress database, never
shown again and removed when StoreRuler is deleted. When a team member clicks “Write
the draft”, StoreRuler sends one request to OpenAI’s API (api.openai.com, OpenAI,
L.L.C.) with that key: for a description, the product’s name, description, short
description, categories, tags and visible attributes and any note the team member
typed; for alt text, the product’s main photo, name and categories. No price, stock,
order or customer data is sent. The answer is a draft that changes nothing until
you apply it, and the last applied draft can be undone. You pay OpenAI for what 
you use, within a daily limit that an administrator sets next to the key (20 drafts
by default); Eren Labs receives none of it. OpenAI’s [terms of use](https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use/),
[services agreement](https://openai.com/policies/services-agreement/) and [privacy policy](https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy/)
apply.

### Which languages are included?

English, Turkish, German and Spanish. StoreRuler follows your WordPress language
settings: the site language, or the language in your own profile.

### Does it work with HPOS?

Yes. StoreRuler declares compatibility with WooCommerce’s High-Performance Order
Storage (HPOS) and also works with the older posts-based order storage.

### Does it work on multisite?

Yes. Activate StoreRuler on each store site where you need it, or network-wide. 
Every site keeps its own StoreRuler data. When it is network-activated, each site
is set up on its first visit while WooCommerce is active there (a site added later
too); sites without WooCommerce are left alone. Network deactivation stops StoreRuler’s
scheduled tasks on every site.

### Does StoreRuler remove old records by itself?

Yes, only working records past a stated age, with nothing to set. Action Scheduler
keeps finished jobs for 7 days instead of 30; this applies to every plugin’s jobs,
and a shorter period set elsewhere stays. Catalogue import changes go after 30 days,
finished connection jobs after 180 days, and a few activity log entries after 2 
years. Orders, payments, stock, customers, legal records and other plugins’ tables
are not touched. If the database is filling up or starts refusing new records, the
site’s admin email address gets a short message, at most once a week or once a day.
The `storeruler_database_mail` filter turns these messages off.

### What happens to my data if I deactivate or delete StoreRuler?

Your WooCommerce orders, products and customers are not changed. Deactivating StoreRuler
stops its screens and scheduled clean-ups. Deleting it keeps StoreRuler’s business
records: its database tables (your table prefix followed by `storesuit_`, StoreRuler’s
internal name), its ordinary settings (options starting with `storesuit_`) and details
saved on orders and customer accounts, such as shipments and customer notes (meta
keys starting with `_storesuit_`). Saved email credentials, email setup-test records
and the saved OpenAI key are removed on deletion, so reconnect them after reinstalling.
A reinstall otherwise picks up where you left off. To remove the business records
for good, take a backup and delete them with a database tool.

### Is StoreRuler a theme or a storefront plugin?

No. StoreRuler works in the WordPress admin. It does not change your theme, shop
pages, cart or checkout. On your shop’s pages it only adds the back-in-stock form
on out-of-stock products, after you turn it on, and the “Where is my order?” form
on a page where you place its block or shortcode. It also sends visitors on from
an address that has a redirect: one you set up, or the old address of a category,
tag or brand you renamed. For its reports it also counts the addresses that were
not found and the shop searches that found nothing, without IP addresses.

### Does StoreRuler create invoices, receipts or other legal documents?

No. Pick lists, packing slips and order summaries are working papers for your team
and information for your customers; the order summary states that it is not a tax
invoice. StoreRuler does not issue invoices, receipts or any other official document.
Use an invoicing service or plugin that meets your country’s rules.

### How do I add the “Where is my order?” page?

Add the Order tracking block, or the `[storesuit_order_tracking]` shortcode, to 
a page and publish it. Customers enter their order number and the email address 
on the order; repeated failed lookups are limited. Its settings are under StoreRuler
Settings  Order tracking.

### Does StoreRuler email my customers on its own?

Only for features you turn on. A back-in-stock email goes once to each shopper who
asked for it, when the product is back in stock, and a tracking message is sent 
only after you preview it. WooCommerce sends its own order emails as usual. Email
history lists every email your site handed to its mail server in the last 30 days.

### Who can use StoreRuler’s screens?

Administrators and shop managers.

### What does StoreRuler need from my hosting?

WordPress 6.5 or later, PHP 8.0 or later, WooCommerce 8.0 or later, and a MySQL 
or MariaDB database with InnoDB tables, which most hosts provide. SQLite databases
are not supported.

### Is StoreRuler’s code readable, and what does it bundle?

StoreRuler’s own PHP, JavaScript and CSS files are its source code, shipped as written:
nothing in them is compiled, minified or obfuscated. Some style sheets are written
compactly, one rule after another. The German and Spanish files in `languages/` 
are plain PHP lists of the translated texts.

StoreRuler includes the Freemius WordPress SDK (folder `vendor/freemius`, GPLv3),
which runs the opt-in and the pages described under External services. Its CSS and
JavaScript files are compiled; their source code is public: [Freemius WordPress SDK](https://github.com/Freemius/wordpress-sdk)(
SCSS and scripts) and [Freemius pricing page](https://github.com/Freemius/pricing-page)(
MIT), the script of Freemius’s pricing page.

Apart from the Freemius SDK, StoreRuler bundles no third-party code, fonts or images.
Its app icons in `assets/` were drawn for StoreRuler and are released with it under
the GPLv2 or later.

### Can I try StoreRuler without real data?

Yes. On an empty store, open Help  Quick actions in StoreRuler and click “Try with
sample data”. It creates one category, three products, two customers and three orders;“
Remove sample data” deletes them again. The sample records send no emails, move 
no stock and cannot be bought.
