Added SHIPPING_ADDON_RESEARCH.md with findings on: ## Key Insights: 1. **Standard vs Indonesian Plugins** - Standard: Simple settings, no custom fields - Indonesian: Complex API, custom checkout fields, subdistrict 2. **How Indonesian Plugins Work** - Add custom checkout fields (subdistrict) - Require origin configuration in wp-admin - Make real-time API calls during checkout - Calculate rates based on origin-destination pairing 3. **Why They're Complex** - 7,000+ subdistricts in Indonesia - Each courier has different rates per subdistrict - Can't pre-calculate (must use API) - Origin + destination required ## WooNooW Strategy: ✅ DO: - Display all methods from WooCommerce API - Show enable/disable toggle - Show basic settings (title, cost, min_amount) - Link to WooCommerce for complex config ❌ DON'T: - Try to manage custom checkout fields - Try to calculate rates - Try to show all plugin settings - Interfere with plugin functionality ## Next Steps: 1. Detect complex shipping plugins 2. Show different UI for complex methods 3. Add "Configure in WooCommerce" button 4. Hide settings form for complex methods Result: Simplified UI for standard methods, full power for complex plugins!
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, my‑account) 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/adminwith custom login ✨
🔍 Background
WooCommerce is the most used e‑commerce engine in the world, but its architecture has become heavy and fragmented.
With React‑based blocks (Checkout, Cart, Product Edit) and HPOS now rolling out, many existing addons are becoming obsolete or unstable.
WooNooW bridges the gap between Woo’s 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/My‑Account.
- Full SPA Toggle – optional React‑only 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
| Layer | Technology |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| Architecture | Modular PSR‑4 classes, REST‑driven SPA islands |
