StoreSuite – Frontend Shop Manager for WooCommerce with AI – Product, Order, Coupon Management & Analytics Dashboard

1.5.0

• Advanced Custom Fields on the product form. Field groups located on products now render as cards on the frontend add/edit product form and save through ACF, so wp-admin and get_field() stay in sync. Supports text, text area, number, range, email, URL, password, color picker, select, checkbox, radio, button group, true/false, date, date time, time, WYSIWYG editor, image, message and separator fields; honours conditional logic and runs ACF’s validation before saving, with empty required fields flagged under the field like the product title. Other field types show a read-only note. A toggle on Settings → General turns the integration off. Deliberate differences from wp-admin (ISO date display, passwords never prefilled, ignored UI-only settings) are listed in the products documentation.
• Shipment tracking on orders. With the free Advanced Shipment Tracking for WooCommerce plugin active, the order details page and the add/edit order form show a Shipment Tracking card and the orders list gains a Shipment Tracking column and an Add Tracking action. Tracking is saved through that plugin, so its customer emails, order notes and order status changes work as they do in wp-admin.
• Developers: new storesuite_order_list_columns filter and storesuite_order_list_column_{$key} action for adding columns to the orders list.
• Developers: new storesuite_product_form_after_others template action and storesuite_product_pre_save_validation filter on the product form.
• Stopped querying the deprecated point_of_sale feature flag on WooCommerce 11.
• Fix an “unexpected error” when saving a product on older WooCommerce versions (such as 10.4) that have Point of Sale enabled but cannot store a product’s POS visibility. The Available for POS switch is hidden on those versions.

1.4.0

• Lower the minimum PHP version to 7.4 (previously 8.1), matching the WordPress and WooCommerce floors so StoreSuite can be installed on the same hosts they run on. PHP compatibility is now checked in CI on every change.
• Fix a fatal error when using AI product text or image generation on WordPress 6.9. The WordPress AI Client only ships with WordPress 7.0, so on older versions the AI buttons now return a clear message instead of crashing the request.
• The plugin name shown in the Plugins list now matches the WordPress.org listing.
• The release package no longer includes development-only files.

1.3.1

• Fix the login screen redirecting to My Account before anyone had logged in. The redirect fired while the login form was rendering, which broke plain wp-login.php and hidden login URLs from plugins such as WPS Hide Login. The form now renders normally; the redirect only runs after a successful login.
• Blocked shop managers who open wp-admin now land on the StoreSuite dashboard instead of the shop homepage.
• The Documentation button in the settings header is now enabled and links to the StoreSuite docs.

1.3.0

• Add dark mode to the frontend dashboard: a sun/moon toggle in the header flips between light and dark, the choice is saved per user, and the operating system prefers-color-scheme setting is honoured on the first visit. The theme resolves before the first paint, so there is no flash of the wrong theme on load.
• Dark mode covers the whole dashboard — tables, forms, badges, buttons, pagination, switches, selects, dialogs, the quick-edit modal, the filter off-canvas, the loading skeletons, order details, account and address forms, and the TinyMCE editor content.
• Add a dark mode theme picker in WooCommerce → StoreSuite → Appearance: choose from Dark default, Soft dark, Midnight black, and Carbon. Each palette sets the dark neutrals only — the accent colour carries over from your light palette.
• Dark mode also covers the full Analytics suite: report charts, summary KPI tiles, loading skeletons, data tables, advanced filters, the date-range picker, and the interval selects.
• Add optional dark variants for the sidebar logo and sidebar icon, so branding stays legible in both themes.
• Add product CSV import on the Products page: a guided wizard walks through uploading a CSV, mapping its columns to product fields, live import progress, and a summary of what was imported, with an expandable import log.
• Add a realtime notifications system: a bell in the dashboard header badges new activity, with a full notifications page and per-event toggles in WooCommerce → StoreSuite → Notifications for new orders, new customer registrations, and new product reviews. Polling pauses while the browser tab is hidden. Notifications are visible only to users who can manage WooCommerce, and each recipient has their own copy — marking as read or clearing affects only that user.
• Notifications older than 90 days are removed automatically by a daily cleanup task, so the notifications table does not grow without bound. The retention window is filterable with storesuite_notification_retention_days.
• Add PDF invoice plugin support: when WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips or WebToffee Print Invoices, Packing Slips, Delivery Notes & Shipping Labels is active, their documents appear as print and download actions in the order list row actions and in a Documents card on the order details page.
• Add icons to the order row actions and open the browser print dialog directly for print actions.
• Add two dashboard endpoints, import-products and notifications, with pagination support on the notifications list. Both slugs can be changed with the storesuite_myshop_import_product_endpoint and storesuite_myshop_notifications_endpoint options.
• Add storesuite_notification_poll_interval, storesuite_notification_retention_days, storesuite_notifications_per_page, and storesuite_order_list_row_actions hooks, plus storesuite_load_import_products_template and storesuite_load_notifications_template for overriding the new pages.
• On update, the notifications table is created, the daily cleanup is scheduled, and rewrite rules are flushed automatically — no need to re-save permalinks after upgrading.
• Fix undefined --storesuite-title-text-color references so title text uses the defined colour token.
• Fix the WordPress login page (wp-login.php, or a custom login slug from plugins such as WPS Hide Login) redirecting logged-out visitors to My Account. StoreSuite now only picks a destination after a successful login and leaves the login screen alone otherwise.
• Shop managers who are blocked from wp-admin now land on the StoreSuite dashboard instead of the shop homepage.

1.2.3

• Add optional, opt-in telemetry via the Appsero SDK. No data is collected unless you explicitly allow it from the admin notice.
• Document the telemetry behaviour in a new Privacy Policy section.

1.2.2

• Refresh the plugin listing: new title, tags, short description, and description intro.
• Add All Features, Documentation, and Support links to the listing description.
• Add a donate link and the PluginizeLab contributor to the listing.
