It offers an optional Modern application interface alongside the default Classic interface, with independent Comfortable and Compact display-density preferences. Administrators can also use RCM Setup Transfer to move whitelisted RCM configuration between sites with a mandatory dry-run; it never transfers transactional history, WooCommerce data, passwords, or credentials. Current active workflows include branch cash-ups, Cash Control V2 Clearing, whole- bag Cash Drop recounts, pending expected/actual channel values, cash denomination counting in cash-ups, branch standard float, cash-location setup, authoritative scoped Safe Count reconciliation, proposed and formally confirmed sealed cash drops, an immutable cash movement ledger, guarded legacy-drop migration and first-live till cutover, payment channel discrepancies, expenses, safe expense cancellation, staff signoff names, branch-scoped permissions, dashboard summaries, daily/range reports, Daily Cash-Up Breakdown, email notifications, branch-specific notification recipients, audit log, an admin-only test data reset, an admin-only staff signoff copy utility, and an admin-only guarded historical import validation/apply screen. Movement references are displayed in the concise MOV-00001 format while stable UUID and technical references remain available internally. Lodgement Preparation, change deliveries, generic transfers, denomination exchanges, advanced cash-control reports, and multi-till cash-ups are not active yet. Classic remains the default interface; Classic and Modern use the same operational data, permissions, and handlers. ## Installation 1. Upload the `website-guy-retail-cash-manager` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or upload `website-guy-retail-cash-manager.zip` through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin. 2. Activate Website Guy Retail Cash Manager through the Plugins screen. 3. Use the generated Cash Management page or place `[websiteguy_retail_cash_manager]` on a page manually. ## FAQ ### Does this plugin create WordPress users? No. WordPress users are managed by WordPress. Staff signoff names are branch-scoped operational labels used for cash-up and expense accountability. ### Does this build include denomination counts, safes, cash drops, or lodgements? Denomination counting is active for Cash-Up cash channels, Safe Counts, and whole- bag Cash Drop recounts. New manual and denomination Cash-Ups both count the full physical drawer. Submitted V2 Safe Counts preserve their variance and reconcile expected ledger balance to the physical count through an explicit immutable movement when needed. Cash-Up Clearing, sealed Cash Drops, and Cash Drop recount reconciliation are active. Lodgements, transfers, deliveries, and denomination exchanges are not active yet. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Website Guy Retail Cash Manager” is open source software.

retaining Classic as the default fallback. * Added a per-user Classic/Modern preference, safe preview, responsive desktop sidebar, and mobile navigation drawer. * Added independent Comfortable and Compact display-density preferences, context- preserving interface switching, and dirty-form protection. * Improved dashboard and shared application presentation, Cash-Up semantic columns and field alignment, Compact nested content/control density, accessibility, and button-state contrast. * Fixed Classic Compact Cash-Up column overlap and inconsistent Modern action-button and field widths. * Hardened WordPress.org identifiers and verified every active translation call uses the literal `website-guy-retail-cash-manager` text domain. * Removed the generic legacy shortcode; use `[websiteguy_retail_cash_manager]`. * Isolated the configurable Classic accent from the fixed blue Modern interface palette. * No database schema migration is required; both interfaces use the same operational data and handlers. #### 0.4.1 * Added whole-bag Cash Drop recount drafts with exclusive bag reservations and denomination snapshots. * Matching recounts transfer recorded value to Banking Safe Available; shortages and overages use an explicit variance movement. * Added Staff Signoff completion, manager variance review, stale-draft warnings, cancellation, immutable history, and reversal. * Added recount permissions, audit/ledger integration, Setup Transfer exclusions, and dependency-safe Danger Zone ordering. * Added provider-agnostic zero-, one-, and two-value card modes, staged provider- total completion after cash is closed, and audited card corrections. * Added an authorised branch picker that preserves allowlisted view context, protects unsaved forms, and retains Cash Control fragments. * Extended Compact density to populated Cash-Up, Cash Drop, recount, Safe Count, movement, and history detail components. * Cash-side correction is blocked when downstream recount evidence exists; no bag, movement, or recount history is rewritten. * Hardened Setup Transfer, streamed import validation, localisation, and release packaging for WordPress.org review. * Lodgement Preparation remains future work. * This version is a release candidate undergoing final local package review. #### 0.4.0 * Added Cash Control V2 Phase 1 stable references, branch migration state, and guarded legacy Cash Drop reclassification. * Banking Safe now represents available loose cash; confirmed V2 drops are tracked separately as Sealed Cash Drops. * Added idempotent Cash-Up Clearing so the Shared Till ledger closes to standard float plus retained carried-forward cash. * Added an authorised correction workflow that reverses a finalised Cash-Up cash- position operation before a replacement revision is posted. * Historical Safe Counts remain visible as Legacy / scope unknown and are excluded from authoritative V2 latest-count selection. * Submitted V2 Safe Counts require active branch Staff Signoff and reconcile expected balance to physical count through one idempotent movement when variance is non- zero. * Added Sealed Cash Drops to Safe Overview and clarified first-live Shared Till cutover. * Manual and denomination Cash-Up modes now share the full physical drawer basis without reinterpreting historical manual records. * Setup Transfer format 2 carries V2 location definitions only; Danger Zone understands V2 transactional dependencies. * Movement references use concise MOV-00001 display codes while retaining stable UUIDs and technical references internally. * Fixed guarded Shared Till cutover confirmation handling and preserved form state after rejected requests. * Cash Drop recount, lodgement, delivery, transfer, exchange, and full transactional transfer workflows remain out of scope. #### 0.3.26.2 * Added a shared Comfortable / Compact display preference per user. * Added collapsible Cash Control sections and per-denomination bundle-counting controls. * Improved compact Cash-Up and report layouts, Safe Count cards, history links, and Setup Transfer handling of disabled bundle overrides. * Fixed Setup Transfer dry-run feedback, Safe Count first-save persistence, Safe Count History deep links, and required Staff Signoff validation when submitting a Safe Count. #### 0.3.26.1 * Added administrator-only RCM Setup Transfer for setup/configuration JSON export and merge-only import dry-runs. * Added checksum validation, stable-key configuration matching, guarded apply confirmation, optional local test-user creation, and notification-recipient safety controls. * Setup exports exclude cash-ups, expenses, movements, counts, audit history, WooCommerce data, passwords, and credentials. #### 0.3.26 * Added Safe Counts under Cash Control with manual or denomination count methods. * Added explicit safe opening balance movements and reviewed safe variance adjustments. *

Banking Safe per branch. * Added opt-in Change Float Safe configuration with a branch-specific target. * Associated existing and new cash-ups with the default till group without enabling multiple cash-ups per date. * Kept dormant till, safe, and safe-ledger tables as non-authoritative compatibility placeholders. * Added no cash movements, formal drops, safe counts, lodgements, deliveries, or transfers. #### 0.3.23 * Added controlled compact-mode line wrapping for Daily Cash-Up Breakdown headers. * Added accessible collapsible Branch Settings sections. * Added inclusive From/To date

assignment reasons to admin dry-run samples. * Added an admin System / Maintenance audit filter so import/reset audit entries are easier to find. #### 0.3.17 * Added explicit Import Tools support for historical expense-only cash-up candidates, with separate dry-run/apply counts and no invented payment channel values. #### 0.3.16 * Fixed Import Tools dry-run validation so expenses without matching imported branch/ date cash-up candidates are reported as blocking errors before apply. #### 0.3.15 * Improved historical import staff matching with accent-insensitive normalisation, first-component

installed RCM database. No database writes or apply/import action are available. #### 0.3.9 * Made the admin Danger Zone reset safer by leaving audit-entry removal unchecked by default, adding a stronger irreversible warning, requiring backup/export acknowledgement, and styling the reset button as destructive. #### 0.3.8 * Added an admin-only Danger Zone reset for clearing test cash-ups, expenses, and related cash-up count data while preserving setup/configuration records. #### 0.3.7 * Moved Cash-Up Staff Signoff to the bottom of the form. * Collapsed inline expense rows by default behind an Add expense button. * Kept multiple inline expense rows inside the main Save Cash-Up flow. #### 0.3.6 * Added repeatable Cash-Up inline expense rows. * Added Cash-Up same-day expenses list after the save form. * Blank inline expense rows are ignored; partially started rows are validated. #### 0.3.5 * Folded Cash-Up inline expense entry into the main Save Cash-Up flow. * Widened dashboard hover breakdown panels on desktop while preserving narrow-screen scrolling fallback. * Added optional inline expense validation so blank fields do not create empty expenses. #### 0.3.4 * Added Today and Yesterday shortcuts to Cash-Up. * Hid scoped numeric input spinner controls in the RCM app. * Added a non-blocking all-zero denomination count warning. * Improved dashboard hover breakdowns with low-height horizontal scrolling. #### 0.3.3 * Added pending expected/actual flags for cash-up channel values so blanks no longer create false zero discrepancies. * Added an internal normalized cash-up save path for future CSV/Excel import tooling. #### 0.3.2 * Cleaned up the branch denomination query so the enabled-only condition is handled with explicit prepared SQL. #### 0.3.1 * Fixed a Cash-Up fatal error caused by an unavailable readonly helper. * Added a QA guard to prevent the same helper call being reintroduced. #### 0.3.0 * Added EUR currency and denomination schema defaults. * Added branch denomination settings and cash count mode. * Added denomination counting to Cash-Up cash channels with live totals and saved count snapshots. * Existing manual cash-up entry remains valid. #### 0.2.0 * Updated WordPress.org metadata, text domain, prefixes, and version consistency. * Added Daily Cash-Up Breakdown, safe expense cancellation, improved notification settings, and branch-specific notification recipients. #### 0.1.9 * Added Expenses Yesterday shortcut, configurable email notifications, branch notification recipients, and Users tab layout polish. #### 0.1.8 * Added Phase 2.5 workflow polish for button contrast, staff signoff management, expense type deactivation, cash-up expense entry, and yesterday dashboard cards. * Documented a safe CSV-first historical import pathway. #### 0.1.7 * Coding standards cleanup for metadata, request handling, escaping annotations, and readme structure. #### 0.1.6 * Added user-to-staff-signoff pathway and global accent colour reset. #### 0.1.5 * Phase 2 polish and dashboard/email improvements. ## Meta * Version **0.4.2** * Last updated **7 hours ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.2 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.0.4** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Tags * [audit](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/audit/)[branch](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/branch/) [reports](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/reports/)[retail](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/retail/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/website-guy-retail-cash-manager/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
