Store-Main Integration Plan

Goal Description

Establish a data sharing mechanism between the "Store" (purchase site) and "Main" (support/docs/license site). Implement a Support Forum on the Main site that integrates purchase information to display user statuses (e.g., "Cross Poster Pro" user).

User Review Required

• Architecture Confirmation: Are "Main" and "Store" the same WordPress instance or separate?
  • Assumption: They might be separate, requiring an API or shared database user table?
  • User Input Needed: Clarify if they are separate domains.
• Badge Logic: cross-poster-pro=1 logic.
  • Default: ON.
  • User Toggle: ON/OFF.

Proposed Architecture

Data Sharing

• Mechanism: API or Shared Database (TBD based on architecture).
• Data Points:
  • Purchase History (Product IDs).
  • License Status (Active/Expired).
  • Personal Info (Name, Email - for account syncing).

Support Forum (Main Site)

• Access Control:
  • Open registration.
  • Specialized access for Pro users (Priority Support section?).
• Profile Badges:
  • Logic: Check user's license data.
  • Tags: [Cross Poster Pro], [Priority Support].
  • User Settings: Checkbox in profile to "Show Pro Status". Default: Checked.

Component Changes

software-license-manager (Main Site)

• Profile Management: Extend user profile fields.
• Integration Layer: Service to fetch/verify "Store" data.

Store Site (External?)

• Webhooks/API: Provide user data to Main site on purchase.

Verification

• User Flow:
  1. Buy Plugin on Store.
  2. Register/Login on Main (Support).
  3. Check Profile -> Badge appears automatically.
  4. Toggle Badge -> Badge disappears.
