Description
Devlin Checkout Geo Flash is a WooCommerce plugin that broadcasts privacy-safe purchase notifications to storefront visitors through local WordPress event storage and storefront polling.
This release focuses on the WooCommerce plugin, owner preview controls, standalone polling, and the bundled storefront toast runtime.
What this slice does today:
- Hooks into WooCommerce checkout-created and payment-complete order events.
- Stores a minimal privacy-safe event payload inside WordPress.
- Injects the bundled universal toast client into the storefront.
- Ships plain white storefront toast notifications and owner preview cards.
- Keeps buyer IP addresses out of browser payloads.
- Uses owner-only preview controls with standard WordPress capability and nonce checks.
What is still planned:
- production-grade geo resolution
- persistent merchant settings outside the current scaffold runtime
- additional hosted dashboard and onboarding polish
External services
This release does not require an external service. Recent events are stored locally inside WordPress and read by the bundled storefront runtime through WordPress AJAX polling.
It does not download or execute remote storefront JavaScript. The toast runtime shipped to site visitors is bundled inside this plugin.

FAQ
-
Does this plugin store raw IP addresses?
-
No. The storefront payload excludes raw IP addresses, and the current standalone runtime resolves only a coarse fallback label without exposing buyer IPs to visitors.
-
Does this version need a database or Redis?
-
No. The current WooCommerce slice uses standard WordPress storage for short-lived recent events and does not require Redis or a separate event database.
-
Does this plugin execute remote JavaScript?
-
No. The storefront toast runtime is bundled in the plugin package.
-
Is this production-ready?
-
This version is suitable for WooCommerce deployment as a standalone plugin. Future releases are expected to add stronger geo-resolution and broader smoke coverage.
