## Description

Virtual Solutions Client CRM (“Client CRM” in your dashboard) turns WordPress into
a clean, fast CRM. Use it on its own to manage the clients of a service business,
or connect it to WooCommerce and every shop customer becomes a client card with 
orders, revenue and history.

**Client cards with everything in one place**

 * Individuals and businesses, with photo/logo, title, job, department, birthday
   and language
 * Contact details: two emails, phone, mobile, website, preferred contact method(
   email, phone, SMS, WhatsApp, Viber, in person)
 * Billing and shipping address
 * Business & tax: VAT / Tax ID, tax office, registration number, industry, company
   size
 * Client / account number, contact persons (name, role, email, phone), legal form,
   annual revenue
 * Billing: invoices email, payment method, IBAN, credit limit, discount, payment
   terms
 * Social profiles (incl. TikTok, YouTube), background notes, files & documents
 * Pipeline: status, source, referred by (another client), owner, tags, rating, 
   estimated value, client since
 * Account & consent: linked WordPress/WooCommerce user, marketing consent with 
   date, GDPR / SMS consent, do not contact

**Industry packs — free**

Tick your industry in Settings  Industries and the client card gets its own section
with the details that business keeps. 33 packs, 300+ fields:

 * For every business: personal details & ID, family & important dates, contracts&
   subscriptions
 * Health & wellness: medical practices, dental, therapy & coaching, gyms & fitness,
   beauty & spa, veterinary
 * Professional services: legal, accounting & payroll, insurance, banking & finance,
   consulting, recruitment, architecture & interior design
 * Property & home: real estate, property management & rentals, construction & home
   services
 * Retail, food & hospitality: retail & e-commerce, wholesale, restaurants & catering,
   hotels & rentals, travel, events & photography
 * Automotive & transport: automotive (vehicles, service & inspection dates), logistics&
   freight
 * Education & community: education & tutoring, nonprofits & clubs
 * Tech & creative: software & IT services, marketing & creative agencies
 * Industry & trade: manufacturing, agriculture

Important details (allergies, access notes, learning needs…) are pinned to a “Keep
in mind” card, and renewal, expiry and appointment dates show under “Key dates”,
on the dashboard and in the daily email. Switching a pack off only hides its fields—
nothing is deleted.

**Email your clients**

 * Send to everyone, a group (status, tag, segment, type, source, owner), a selection
   from the client list, or one client
 * Personalize with {first_name}, {company}, {client_code} and any other client 
   field, with fallbacks: {first_name|there}
 * Rich editor with images, buttons and attachments; preview for a real client and
   send yourself a test
 * Newsletters include an unsubscribe link (one-click unsubscribe in Gmail and Apple
   Mail when you send through SMTP or a mail plugin) and skip clients who unsubscribed,
   are marked “Do not contact” or haven’t given consent
 * Sent in the background at a safe pace (emails per minute), with a live report:
   sent, failed with reasons, skipped with reasons, retry failed
 * Every email shows up on the client’s timeline
 * Works side by side with SMTP and email plugins (WP Mail SMTP, FluentSMTP, Post
   SMTP…): when one handles email on your site, Client CRM sends through it and 
   never changes how the rest of your site sends email. No SMTP plugin? Set up your
   own mail server in Settings  Email (password stored encrypted)

**Team roles & permissions**

 * Settings  Roles & permissions lists every role on your site — WordPress’s own,
   WooCommerce’s and ones added by other plugins — and lets you choose what each
   one can do in the CRM: open it, see all clients or only their own, add and edit,
   log activity, delete, email one client or send newsletters, import, export, manage
   tags, change settings
 * Create your own roles (start from Manager, Sales agent, Assistant or Viewer),
   and give people roles right there
 * “Only their own clients” also limits tasks, appointments, the calendar, emails,
   reports and exports
 * Only Client CRM’s permissions are changed — what a role can do elsewhere in WordPress
   stays as it is. Site administrators always have full access

**Your clients’ data stays private, even if your database leaks — free**

 * Encryption of client data (Settings  Security): names, contact details, notes,
   timeline, tasks, appointments, emails and files are encrypted with XChaCha20-
   Poly1305 before they reach the database, so a stolen copy of the database or 
   a leaked database backup can’t be read
 * The key is stored locked with your site’s secret keys from wp-config.php, and
   you save a recovery key to unlock the CRM if those secret keys ever change
 * Search, filters, sorting, key dates and birthdays keep working while everything
   is encrypted
 * Protected client files: files and photos of clients are kept in a private folder
   instead of the public Media Library, only people who may see the client can open
   them, and they are encrypted too
 * Activity log & alerts: who opened, changed, exported or deleted clients, tamper-
   evident; email alerts about unusual activity (bulk viewing, mass deletes, exports,
   repeated wrong passwords), and the account that does it can be paused automatically
 * Sensitive steps (showing the recovery key, changing the key, turning encryption
   off, changing alerts) ask for your password again

**Your client data stays on your server**

 * Client CRM keeps everything on your own website and never sends your client data
   to us
 * Optional usage statistics: only if a site administrator agrees (in the setup 
   wizard or Settings  Data), Client CRM sends us general statistics once a week
   to help improve it — never client data. Settings  Data shows exactly what is 
   sent. See “External services” below

**A user guide inside the CRM**

 * Help center with 33 in-depth topics in English and Greek, searchable, with a “?”
   on every screen that opens the right topic

**English, Ελληνικά and any other language**

 * English and Greek built in (Settings  General  Language): for everyone on the
   site and in the emails your clients get, whatever language WordPress is in — 
   or “Same as WordPress”, so each person sees the language of their own WordPress
   profile
 * Ready for translation into any language, like any WordPress plugin (wordpress.
   org language packs, Loco Translate, Poedit); the built-in guide can be translated
   too
 * On a new install it follows WordPress: Greek sites start in Greek, English sites
   in English, sites in other languages in “Same as WordPress”
 * Dates, months and numbers follow the chosen language too

**Calendar & appointments**

 * Book appointments, bookings, meetings, calls and events with a client, a time,
   a place and who they’re with — types and colors are yours to set
 * One calendar with everything that has a date: appointments, tasks, industry key
   dates (next appointment, service due, lease end…), birthdays and, with Pro, scheduled
   emails
 * Month, week, day and list views; filter by what to show and whose calendar
 * Drag appointments and tasks to move them, or an appointment’s lower edge to change
   its length; click an empty slot to book
 * Statuses: scheduled, confirmed, completed, cancelled, no-show — completed appointments
   count as contact and show on the client’s timeline
 * Upcoming appointments on the client card and the dashboard, and today’s appointments
   in the daily email
 * Works on phones: a month overview with dots and the day’s agenda below

**Work with your clients**

 * Activity timeline: log notes, calls, meetings, emails and messages (also for 
   things that happened earlier)
 * Tasks & reminders with due dates, times, priorities and assignees, plus a daily
   email digest
 * Tags with colors, filters, and saved segments
 * Quick actions: email, call, WhatsApp, log, add task
 * Dashboard with new clients per month, pipeline, tasks, recent activity, top clients,
   leads going cold and a “Coming up” list of birthdays, renewals and key dates

**WooCommerce**

 * Customers and guest checkouts become clients automatically (matched by account
   and email)
 * Order count, total spent, average order and last order on every card, orders 
   on the timeline
 * One-click sync for existing customers and past orders
 * “Virtual Solutions Client CRM” box on the order screen
 * Compatible with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS)

**Light, dark or automatic — for each user**

 * Every CRM user picks their own look in Settings  My preferences: Automatic (follows
   the computer or phone), Light or Dark
 * Switch any time with the theme button in the top bar — it changes instantly and
   is remembered for that user only

**Import / export**

 * CSV import with column matching, duplicate handling (update or skip), comma/semicolon/
   tab detection and Excel encodings (including Greek)
 * CSV export of everything, a filtered list, a segment or selected clients

**Virtual Solutions Client CRM Pro** adds a drag-and-drop custom field builder (
16 field types, your own sections, hiding built-in fields, custom fields as list
columns, in search, in CSV files, in email personal tags and as key dates), email
templates, scheduled emails, open & click tracking, repeating appointments, automatic
reminder emails to clients and calendar sync with Google, Apple and Outlook. The“
Go Pro” button in Client CRM opens a full Free vs Pro comparison.

Pro’s plans and the full Free vs Pro comparison are on our store: [wp.virtualsolutions.gr/virtual-clients-crm](https://wp.virtualsolutions.gr/virtual-clients-crm/)

Virtual Solutions Client CRM is made by Virtual Solutions: [virtualsolutions.gr](https://virtualsolutions.gr/)

 * `vclients_industry_packs` — add or change industry packs
 * `vclients_client_saved`, `vclients_client_deleted`, `vclients_activity_added`,`
   vclients_task_saved` — actions

   how Client CRM sends email; `vclients_phpmailer_init` — adjust Client CRM’s own
   mail connection (it never uses WordPress’s shared one)

   another language than WordPress (e.g. Greek on an English site), most important
   first

### External services

Virtual Solutions Client CRM can send usage statistics to a service run by Virtual
Solutions, the makers of Client CRM, to help decide what to improve. **It is off
by default** and only starts after a site administrator ticks “Help improve Client
CRM” on the last step of the setup wizard, switches on “Share usage statistics” 
in Settings  Data, or answers “Yes, share” to the one-time question on the Client
CRM dashboard. It stops as soon as it is switched off, and when the plugin is deactivated
or deleted.

 * **When:** once a week, in the background (WP-Cron).
 * **What is sent:** a random ID made on your site when sharing is switched on (
   switching off forgets it); the Client CRM version and the Client CRM Pro version
   if it is active; some of your setup answers — country, Client CRM language, currency,
   industry and other industry packs, team size and the word you use for clients;
   rough ranges of how many clients, tasks, appointments, tags, segments, sent emails,
   CRM users and custom roles you have, and of how long ago Client CRM was installed;
   whether the setup wizard was finished, skipped or hidden, and whether sample 
   clients are in; which features are on (encryption, security alerts, WooCommerce
   sync, the daily email, how emails are sent); the versions of WordPress, PHP, 
   the database and WooCommerce, WordPress’s language, whether it is a multisite
   and the environment type (production, staging, development or local).
 * **What is never sent:** your clients or anything else kept in the CRM, your business
   name, email, phone or logo, your users and team, and your site address. The request
   doesn’t carry WordPress’s usual user agent, which names the site.
 * **Where to:** https://europe-west1-wp-crm-34828.cloudfunctions.net/usageStats—
   the Client CRM statistics service, run by Virtual Solutions on Google Cloud (
   Firebase) in the EU (Belgium). Reports are kept for 24 months, and IP addresses
   aren’t stored with them.
 * **Terms of service:** https://wp.virtualsolutions.gr/legal/terms/ — **Privacy
   policy:** https://wp.virtualsolutions.gr/legal/privacy/

Settings  Data  Usage statistics shows the exact report before anything is sent.

## Installation

 1. In WordPress, go to Plugins  Add New Plugin, search for “Virtual Solutions Client
    CRM” and click Install Now (or upload the `virtual-solutions-client-crm` folder
    to `/wp-content/plugins/`).
 2. Activate the plugin. A short setup wizard opens (you can skip it), then the Client
    CRM dashboard.
 3. Add your first client, import a CSV, or (with WooCommerce) go to Client CRM  Settings
    WooCommerce and click “Run sync”.

Administrators and WooCommerce shop managers get access through the `manage_vclients`
capability.

## FAQ

### Does it need WooCommerce?

No. Everything works without it. When WooCommerce is active, the shop features switch
on automatically.

### Where is my data stored?

In your own WordPress database, in tables starting with `wp_vclients_` (with your
site’s table prefix), and client files in a private folder in `wp-content/uploads`.
Client CRM never sends your client data to us or to any other service; it only leaves
your site when you send an email, export a file or connect a calendar app (Pro).

### Does Client CRM send anything to you?

Only if you agree. The setup wizard, Settings  Data and a one-time question on the
dashboard let a site administrator switch on usage statistics; it is off until then.
Once a week Client CRM then sends general statistics that help us decide what to
improve: some of your setup answers (country, language, currency, industry, team
size, your word for clients), rough ranges of how much you use the CRM, which features
are on, and software versions — see “External services” for the full list. Your 
clients, your business name, email and phone, your team and your site address are
never sent. Settings  Data shows the exact report and lets you switch it off anytime.

### Can I translate Client CRM or change its wording?

Yes. The text domain is `virtual-solutions-client-crm` (Pro: `virtual-clients-crm-
pro`) and the template is `languages/virtual-solutions-client-crm.pot`. Use a wordpress.
org language pack, Loco Translate, or a `.mo` file in `wp-content/languages/plugins/`(
for example `virtual-solutions-client-crm-de_DE.mo`). For other languages choose
Settings  General  Language  “Same as WordPress”. A translation for English (`en_US`)
or Greek (`el`) changes the wording in that language. The built-in guide: Settings
General  “Download the help text to translate”, then save your translation as `wp-
content/languages/virtual-solutions-client-crm/help-de_DE.json` (or `help-de.json`).

### What happens when I delete the plugin?

Nothing is deleted unless you turn on Settings  Data  “Delete all CRM data when 
the plugin is deleted”.

### What happens if I lose the encryption key?

The key is stored locked with your site’s secret keys (the “salts” in wp-config.
php). If those change, for example when a site is moved without its wp-config.php
or a security plugin renews them, Client CRM locks and asks for your recovery key.
Paste it and everything works again. Without the key and the recovery key the encrypted
data can’t be read by anyone, including you, so keep the recovery key somewhere 
safe away from the website.

### Does encryption stop every attack?

No. It protects your clients when a copy of the database or a database backup gets
out. Someone who takes over the whole website (its files and its database) can read
client data, and someone who signs in with a CRM user’s password sees what that 
user may see; the activity log and its alerts help you notice and stop that.

### Does encryption protect WooCommerce orders?

No. It covers the data Client CRM keeps. WooCommerce keeps its own copy of customer
details in its orders.
