dwindown 79d3b449c3 docs: Add Payment Gateway FAQ explaining form builder integration
 Issue 5 Addressed: WooCommerce Form Builder

Created comprehensive FAQ document explaining:

1. Payment Providers Card Purpose
   - For major processors: Stripe, PayPal, Square, etc.
   - Local gateways go to '3rd Party Payment Methods'
   - How to add gateways to providers list

2. Form Builder Integration (ALREADY WORKING!)
   - Backend reads: gateway->get_form_fields()
   - Auto-categorizes: basic/api/advanced
   - Frontend renders all standard field types
   - Example: TriPay fields will render automatically

3. Supported Field Types
   - text, password, checkbox, select, textarea, number, email, url
   - Unsupported types show WooCommerce link

4. Duplicate Names Fix
   - Now using method_title for unique names
   - TriPay channels show distinct names

5. Customization Options
   - GenericGatewayForm for 95% of gateways
   - Custom UI components for special cases (Phase 2)

📋 Key Insight:
The system ALREADY listens to WooCommerce form builder!
No additional work needed - it's working as designed.

All user feedback issues (1-5) are now addressed! 🎉

WooNooW

WooNooW is a modern experience layer for WooCommerce — enhancing UX, speed, and reliability without data migration.
It keeps WooCommerce as the core engine while providing a modern React-powered interface for both the storefront (cart, checkout, myaccount) and the admin (orders, dashboard).

Three Admin Modes:

  • Normal Mode: Traditional wp-admin integration (/wp-admin/admin.php?page=woonoow)
  • Fullscreen Mode: Distraction-free interface (toggle in header)
  • Standalone Mode: Complete standalone app at yoursite.com/admin with custom login

🔍 Background

WooCommerce is the most used ecommerce engine in the world, but its architecture has become heavy and fragmented.
With Reactbased blocks (Checkout, Cart, Product Edit) and HPOS now rolling out, many existing addons are becoming obsolete or unstable.
WooNooW bridges the gap between Woos legacy PHP system and the new modern stack — so users get performance and simplicity without losing compatibility.


🚀 Key Principles

  • No Migration Needed Woo data stays intact.
  • Safe Activate/Deactivate revert to native Woo anytime, no data loss.
  • Hybrid by Default SSR + React islands for Cart/Checkout/MyAccount.
  • Full SPA Toggle optional Reactonly mode for max performance.
  • HPOS Mandatory optimized datastore and async operations.
  • Compat Layer hook mirror + slot rendering for legacy addons.
  • Async Mail & Tasks powered by Action Scheduler.

🧱 Tech Stack

Backend PHP 8.2+, WordPress, WooCommerce (HPOS), Action Scheduler
Frontend React 18 + TypeScript, Vite, React Query, Tailwind (optional)
Build & Package Composer, NPM, ESM scripts, Zip automation
