Store Compass performs the commerce\nanalysis, evidence evaluation, weekly recommendations, action guidance, recommendation history,\nand outcome measurement on its hosted service.<\/p>\n\n<p>Once connected, Store Compass menu items in wp-admin securely open the corresponding hosted Store\nCompass dashboard view. The plugin also displays connection status and can display the current\nweekly recommendation in WordPress admin when that data is available from the service.<\/p>\n\n<h4>What this plugin does<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Adds Store Compass navigation to wp-admin - Home, Weekly Brief, Actions, Results, Weekly History,\nand Settings.<\/li>\n<li>Uses WooCommerce's built-in application authorization screen. The merchant reviews and approves\nread-only access in their own WordPress admin; Store Compass never receives the WordPress\nadministrator password.<\/li>\n<li>Connects to the hosted Store Compass service to retrieve connection status, recommendations, and\nsecure dashboard access.<\/li>\n<li>Keeps storefront pages untouched: the connector registers no Store Compass scripts or styles on\ncustomer-facing pages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Local data stored by this plugin<\/h4>\n\n<p>The WordPress plugin stores one plugin-generated connection token in wp_options and a short-lived\nconnection-status transient. It does not store WooCommerce orders, products, billing details,\nshipping details, or customer records in the WordPress plugin itself.<\/p>\n\n<h3>External services<\/h3>\n\n<p>Store Compass Connector relies on the Store Compass hosted service operated by Digitribe Media.\nThe hosted service is required for the connector's core functionality; the recommendation engine\nand merchant dashboard do not run locally inside this WordPress plugin.<\/p>\n\n<p>Service provider: Digitribe Media\nService: https:\/\/digitribemedia.com\/store-compass\/\nPrivacy Policy: https:\/\/digitribemedia.com\/store-compass\/privacy\/\nTerms of Service: https:\/\/digitribemedia.com\/store-compass\/terms\/<\/p>\n\n<h4>Data sent directly by the WordPress connector<\/h4>\n\n<p>When an authorized administrator opens Store Compass in wp-admin, the connector may send the\nsite hostname and its plugin-generated connection token to the Store Compass status API. The raw\nplugin token is sent only in an Authorization header; Store Compass stores only a SHA-256 hash of\nthat plugin token.<\/p>\n\n<p>When an administrator starts or regenerates a connection, the connector sends the site's URL and\na SHA-256 hash of its plugin token to the Store Compass connection flow. The merchant is then\nredirected to WooCommerce's own authorization screen.<\/p>\n\n<p>When a connected merchant opens a Store Compass dashboard section, the plugin retrieves a signed\ndashboard link from Store Compass and redirects the administrator to the corresponding hosted\nStore Compass dashboard view.<\/p>\n\n<h4>WooCommerce data accessed by the Store Compass hosted service<\/h4>\n\n<p>If the merchant approves WooCommerce's authorization screen, WooCommerce sends Store Compass a\nread-only Consumer Key and Consumer Secret. Store Compass verifies those credentials and uses them\nto read the WooCommerce REST API resources needed for decision support.<\/p>\n\n<p>The current integration reads WooCommerce orders and products. Store Compass uses commerce fields\nsuch as order identifiers, statuses, dates, currency, order totals, discounts, line-item counts,\nproduct names, product status, categories, descriptions, images, SKU, price, and stock quantity to\ncalculate commerce metrics and recommendations.<\/p>\n\n<p>WooCommerce order API responses can include billing, shipping and other customer-identifying\ninformation by default. Store Compass deliberately excludes customer names, billing and shipping\naddresses, email addresses, phone numbers, customer IDs and customer IP addresses from its\ncanonical decision data and does not create per-customer records for recommendation processing.<\/p>\n\n<p>Store Compass does not automatically change products, orders, prices, inventory or other store\nsettings through this WooCommerce connection. The WooCommerce authorization scope is read-only.<\/p>\n\n<p>For full information about data handling, retention, merchant rights and Store Compass service\nterms, see the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service links above.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Install and activate WooCommerce.<\/li>\n<li>Install and activate Store Compass Connector.<\/li>\n<li>Open Store Compass from the WordPress admin menu and click \"Connect to Store Compass\".<\/li>\n<li>Review the WooCommerce authorization screen and approve read-only access if you want to connect.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"does%20this%20slow%20down%20my%20storefront%3F\"><h3>Does this slow down my storefront?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>The connector is designed to be admin-only.
