Driftclear turns invisible dead stock into a recovery opportunity.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Most WooCommerce stores have products sitting untouched for 30, 60, even 90+ days. That's cash tied up in warehouse space, quietly bleeding carrying costs. Driftclear scans your catalog, flags the offenders, and tells you exactly how much capital is at risk \u2014 and what price would move them without sacrificing your margin.<\/p>\n\n

How it works<\/h4>\n\n
    \n
  1. Scan<\/strong> \u2014 Driftclear queries your WooCommerce order history to find products with no sales in the past N days.<\/li>\n
  2. Calculate<\/strong> \u2014 A three-tier discount engine (Warn \u2192 Act \u2192 Deep) suggests prices that respect your cost floor.<\/li>\n
  3. Report<\/strong> \u2014 A weekly digest email shows your capital-at-risk, recoverable revenue, and which products need attention most.<\/li>\n
  4. Simulate mode (default)<\/strong> \u2014 No prices are changed until you're ready. Preview everything first.<\/li>\n
  5. Auto-apply<\/strong> \u2014 With one setting, discounts run automatically on the weekly cron. Restore to original price is always one click away.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

      • HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) compatible<\/li>\n
      • Works alongside WC Cost of Goods, Profit & Loss by WooCommerce, Iconic WooCommerce Cost of Goods, and similar cost plugins<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Upload the driftclear-dead-stock-for-woocommerce<\/code> folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>.<\/li>\n
        2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins<\/strong> menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
        3. Go to Driftclear \u2192 Settings<\/strong> and configure your thresholds.<\/li>\n
        4. Visit Driftclear \u2192 Dead Stock<\/strong> to run your first scan.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
          \n

          Will this change my prices automatically?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          No \u2014 Simulate mode is ON by default. Prices are only changed when you manually click Apply<\/strong> on a product, or when you explicitly enable Auto-apply in Settings.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          How does the margin floor work?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Driftclear never suggests a price below your floor. In percentage mode the floor is a percentage of the current list price (default 50%). In COGS mode the floor is calculated as cost \u00f7 (1 \u2212 minimum_margin%)<\/code>, identical to the industry-standard formula.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Which cost plugins are supported?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Driftclear reads cost data from _wc_cog_cost<\/code>, _wc_cogs_cost<\/code>, _alg_wc_cog_cost<\/code>, _cost<\/code>, _product_cost<\/code>, and _cpsm_product_cost<\/code> meta keys. If your cost plugin uses a different key, use the driftclear_product_cost_meta_keys<\/code> filter to add it.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          What is HPOS?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          High-Performance Order Storage is WooCommerce's modern database schema. Driftclear detects at runtime which schema your store uses and queries accordingly.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Does it work with variable products?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Driftclear operates at the parent product level for scanning. Prices are applied to the parent's regular price.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n

          1.2.2<\/h4>\n\n
            \n
          • Fix: HPOS query used wrong column names (date_created_gmt<\/code>, order_status<\/code>) from wc_order_product_lookup<\/code>; scanner returned 0 results on all stores with HPOS enabled. Query now correctly joins wc_orders<\/code> for status filtering.<\/li>\n
          • Fix: products with WooCommerce stock management disabled (digital products, services, unlimited-stock items) were silently excluded from the dead stock scan.<\/li>\n
          • Design: sales velocity (days since last sale) is now the primary detection signal; stock quantity is a secondary modifier affecting capital-at-risk calculation.<\/li>\n
          • New setting: \"Include untracked products\" (Scan Filters) \u2014 enabled by default; lets merchants opt out of scanning products without stock tracking.<\/li>\n
          • Dashboard: stock column now shows \"\u2014\" for products without inventory tracking.<\/li>\n
          • Capital at risk for untracked products is estimated as the unit list price.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

            1.2.1<\/h4>\n\n
              \n
            • WordPress.org compliance: remove all Pro\/freemium references \u2014 plugin is 100% free.<\/li>\n
            • Add license.txt.<\/li>\n
            • Fix: weekly cron schedule not registered during plugin activation on fresh install.<\/li>\n
            • Fix: orphaned docblock in DB layer.<\/li>\n
            • Remove .gitignore from distribution (hidden files not permitted by WP.org policy).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

              1.2.0<\/h4>\n\n
                \n
              • Product metabox: Driftclear status panel on the WooCommerce product edit screen.<\/li>\n
              • Per-product \"Exclude from scan\" flag \u2014 protect seasonal items, bundles, and new arrivals.<\/li>\n
              • Apply \/ Restore buttons directly from the product edit screen.<\/li>\n
              • Scan writes per-product status to post meta for instant metabox reads (no on-demand queries).<\/li>\n
              • Fix: stock quantity now correctly displayed in the dead stock table.<\/li>\n
              • WPCS \/ Plugin Check compliance improvements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                1.1.2<\/h4>\n\n
                  \n
                • Fix: simulate mode and auto-apply could both be enabled simultaneously.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                  1.1.1<\/h4>\n\n
                    \n
                  • Fix: settings keys were inconsistent, causing saved settings to be silently ignored.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                    1.1.0<\/h4>\n\n
                      \n
                    • Simulate mode instrumentation: track which simulated discounts were acted on vs. ignored.<\/li>\n
                    • Dashboard: \"Simulated & ignored (30d)\" metric.<\/li>\n
                    • Scan log: Outcome column.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                      1.0.0<\/h4>\n\n
