## Description

YPSupport Handmade Manager is a WordPress plugin designed for handmade craft artists
who want to manage their business more efficiently.

Stop paying high commissions to craft marketplaces. YPSupport Handmade Manager gives
you the tools to manage your handmade business directly on your own WordPress site.

**Key Features:**

 * **Materials Inventory** — Track materials with quantity, unit price, stock levels
   and low-stock thresholds
 * **Parts Inventory** — Manage handmade & purchased parts with stock and cost, 
   and mix them into product recipes
 * **Recipe Management** — Define which materials (and parts) are used in each product
 * **Real-time Cost & Profit Calculation** — Costs always reflect the latest material
   prices
 * **Product Options** — Register color/size variations with a per-option price 
   difference and an optional per-option recipe
 * **Material Purchase Log & Shopping List** — Record purchases (weighted-average
   unit price) and build a shopping list with a shopping mode
 * **Sales Records** — Log sales by channel with cost and profit, plus channel and
   monthly summaries
 * **Currency Switching** — Store amounts in a base currency and display them in
   another, with daily exchange rates
 * **Artisan Profile, Gallery & Slideshow** — Front-end shortcodes with 6 design
   themes
 * **OGP Optimization** — Automatic Open Graph meta tags for better social sharing
 * **WooCommerce-aware** — When WooCommerce is active, its monthly sales are added
   to the dashboard total

**Pro Features:**

 * Stock alert email notifications (daily low-stock check)
 * Sales dashboard with year-over-year and monthly analytics, plus sales CSV export
 * Order & production schedule management (calendar, Gantt chart, working-hours 
   capacity)
 * Order CSV import (minne / Creema, with per-service column mapping)
 * WooCommerce integration: link products, auto-register orders, and deduct part
   stock on completion
 * Manual exchange-rate override (set your own rates instead of the daily auto-fetch)

[//]: # fs_premium_only_begin

#### Pro Plan

Upgrade to Pro to unlock stock alert emails, a full sales dashboard with CSV export,
order & production scheduling, order CSV import (minne / Creema), WooCommerce order
integration, and manual exchange-rate override.

[//]: # fs_premium_only_end

[//]: # fs_free_only_begin

#### Free Plan

The free plan is fully functional with no usage limits: register unlimited materials,
parts, products (each with its own recipe) and sales records, with real-time cost&
profit calculation, multi-currency display, and the artisan profile, gallery and
slideshow shortcodes.

#### Who Is This For?

This plugin is built for independent handmade artists who:

 * Sell on minne, Creema, Etsy, BASE, or their own WordPress site
 * Want to know the true cost and profit of each product they make
 * Struggle to track material stock across multiple projects
 * Need a simple order and production workflow without a full e-commerce setup

### External services

This plugin connects to an external exchange-rate API to convert the amounts shown
in the WordPress admin into the selected display currency. This only happens in 
the admin area for the currency feature; no data about your site visitors is ever
sent.

**open.er-api.com (default, no API key required)**
 When you click “Update now” 
on the Currency Settings screen, switch the display currency, or when the once-daily
background update (WP-Cron) runs, the plugin sends a request containing only your
base currency code (for example “JPY” or “USD”) to retrieve the latest exchange 
rates. No personal data is transmitted. Terms of use: https://www.exchangerate-api.
com/terms Privacy policy: https://www.exchangerate-api.com/privacy

**v6.exchangerate-api.com (optional, only used if you enter an API key)**
 If you
enter an exchangerate-api.com API key on the Currency Settings screen, rate requests
are sent to this endpoint instead, including your API key and base currency code.
Same purpose and same provider as above. Terms of use: https://www.exchangerate-
api.com/terms Privacy policy: https://www.exchangerate-api.com/privacy

If you do not use the currency switching feature, no external requests are made.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `ypsupport-handmade-manager` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress
 3. Go to **Handmade** in the admin menu to get started

## FAQ

### How is the production cost calculated?

The cost is calculated in real-time: sum of (quantity × unit price) for all materials
in the recipe. It always reflects the latest material prices — no stale cached values.

### What’s the difference between the free and Pro versions?

The free version is fully functional with no usage limits. Pro adds separate features:
stock alert emails, a sales dashboard with CSV export, order & production scheduling,
order CSV import (minne / Creema), WooCommerce order integration, and manual exchange-
rate override.

### Do I need WooCommerce to use this plugin?

No. The plugin works fully standalone. If WooCommerce is active it is detected automatically:
the dashboard adds WooCommerce monthly sales to the total, and in Pro a linked product’s
WooCommerce orders can be auto-registered with part-stock deduction on completion.
WooCommerce is never required.

### Is the plugin compatible with multisite?

Multisite compatibility is not officially tested in v1. Single-site use is recommended.

### Where can I find the shortcode list?

After activation, go to **Handmade > Theme Settings** to see all available shortcodes
with auto-generated attribute examples.
