Feature suggestion
- Dark mode for the dashboard
- Showing a button with the WhatsApp icon in front of orders, so that when the store manager clicks it, it automatically opens the WhatsApp web or app (if on the cell phone) with the cell phone number registered by the customer in the order, this is something that would help a lot, a lot when fulfilling orders.

- [suggestion for the future, long term, not so important] Integration with a central panel to change plugin settings en masse, or standardize for everyone, I thought of something of my own, but an integration with something like MainWp would also do the job

Hi Lincoln, thanks again for the ideas. Here is where these land:

Thank you very much, I’ve made all the changes you requested and released the new version 3.2.3 . If you notice anything missing, please let me know here. In the meantime, you need to download and install the new version from the plugin’s wp.org page because the update notification will appear after 24 hours.

WhatsApp on orders: done, and it will be in the next update. You now get a green WhatsApp icon right in front of the order number in the Orders list (only on orders that have a phone), and a “Message on WhatsApp” button on the order edit screen under the billing address. Clicking either opens WhatsApp Web on desktop, or the app on mobile, targeting that customer’s number. It figures out the country code automatically from the order’s billing country, so local numbers just work. If you ever want to hide the list column, you can toggle it from Screen Options at the top right of the Orders page. This should save you a lot of time during fulfillment.

Dark mode for the dashboard: still on the roadmap. It is a larger visual change, so it will come as its own update.

Central panel to manage settings across many sites (or MainWP integration): noted for the long term, as you said. It is a bigger piece, but it is on our list to explore, since managing many client sites is clearly a big part of how you use BrikPanel.

As always, thank you for the detailed suggestions. 🙂

Hi Latti, Thank you very much, I’ll send a few more recommendations 🙂

1 – Integration with CAPTCHA services (Google reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare Turnstile, etc.) for WooCommerce login and checkout.

2 – A small feature for coupons. The current coupon system is already excellent, but if you could add the features found in the “Auto Coupons” plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/woo-auto-coupons/), it would cover 90% of current store use cases (I say this based on my agency clients; that plugin currently meets almost everyone’s needs).

3 – An option to set wholesale rules: minimum order value, minimum unit quantities, etc.—similar to what the “Min Max Quantities” plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/wc-min-max-quantities/) does. To be honest, I’m not sure if this fits the plugin’s core concept, but since you asked for suggestions, I know many stores use this, and using a separate plugin often leads to conflicts.

4 – A “gift” option at checkout: a simple feature to charge a small fee for gift wrapping/preparation. Just a checkbox with some text and a gift icon—allowing the customer to select it for, say, an extra $1—so the order is shipped already gift-wrapped. Simple, but a really nice touch.
There is a plugin that does something similar (https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-gift-wrapper/), but I was thinking of something simpler: just define the text, icon, and price, and have it appear in the cart or at checkout—nothing more.

5 – Another extremely useful feature would be discounts based on the payment method. I’m not sure if this would be better linked to the automatically applied coupons I suggested earlier or handled as a separate setting, but it is something we use a lot around here. 6 – Another recommendation—which is quite simple and cool—is one we currently use in another plugin called “Flashing tab”; you can learn more about it here: https://notificationx.com/pt/flashing-tab/

Note: I’ve included all the features I could think of that seem simple and align with the panel’s purpose. My idea is to potentially eliminate some simpler plugins to avoid conflicts with Brikpanel, so feel free to ignore anything that doesn’t make sense.
I’m also going to test the new version now; if I come across anything, I’ll send it to you in a new topic to make tracking easier.

Thanks again!

Hi, thank you very much. I’ve added all of these to the roadmap and may include them in future updates.
