Oliver POS – WooCommerce POS for iPhone, iPad & Android

Oliver POS – WooCommerce POS for iPhone, iPad & Android

描述

Oliver POS is the state-of-the-art point of sale for WooCommerce. More than 45,000 retailers around the world use Oliver POS to sell in-store, manage inventory across multiple outlets, and accept every payment method WooCommerce supports — all without ever leaving their existing WooCommerce shop.

There is only one database, one product catalogue and one source of truth: your WooCommerce store. Oliver POS adds a beautiful, touch-first register on top of it — for iPad, Mac, Android tablets and PC — and keeps everything in sync in real time. No middleware, no double entry, no exported CSVs.

Real WooCommerce Integration, Not a Bolt-On

Oliver POS speaks the official WooCommerce REST API. When you pair a device, the plugin mints a real WooCommerce consumer_key / consumer_secret for that station — the same API contract every other WooCommerce integration uses. Orders, refunds, products, inventory, customers and taxes all flow through wp-json/wc/v3/*. Your data stays portable, auditable and 100% inside your own WordPress install.

Full compatibility with WooCommerce HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage), the new Product Block Editor, and Cart & Checkout Blocks is declared and tested.

Offline-First Sales

When the internet drops, the line at your counter doesn’t. Oliver POS keeps selling — every order, every line item, every payment captured by your cashier is queued locally on the device. The moment connectivity returns, the queue drains into WooCommerce in the exact order it was rung up. No lost sales, no manual reconciliation, no panic.

Refunds, customer lookups and live stock checks still require an online connection (because they touch live WooCommerce data), but the core “make the sale” flow is fully offline-capable.

Multi-Outlet & Multi-Station Stock

Run one store or fifty. Oliver POS gives each outlet its own stock level — synced back to WooCommerce as the global truth — and lets each station ring up sales independently with its own register number, receipt sequence and shift. Move stock between outlets, audit movements per location, and see live inventory across every store from your WooCommerce admin.

Real-Time Sync Across Every Device

Every sale, stock movement, refund and customer update fans out across every Oliver POS device — iPhone, iPad, Android tablet, countertop terminal and web dashboard — in real time, and lands as a standard WooCommerce record on your WordPress store within the same second. Your WooCommerce shop stays the single source of truth: there are no proprietary tables, no exported CSVs and no scheduled syncs to babysit. When the internet drops, every station keeps selling locally and the queue drains into WooCommerce in order the moment connectivity returns.

Every WooCommerce Payment Gateway, In-Store

If WooCommerce supports it, Oliver POS supports it. Cash, card, store credit, gift cards, integrated terminals — plus any WooCommerce payment gateway you’ve already configured: WooPayments, Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, Square, Mollie, Amazon Pay, Authorize.net and hundreds more. The cashier picks a gateway, the gateway’s own checkout opens in a WebView on the POS device, and the customer pays through the exact same flow they’d use online. Apple Pay, Google Pay and other wallets work automatically through whichever wallet-enabled gateway you’ve already turned on.

For card-present payments, Oliver POS integrates directly with Stripe Terminal: pair a reader to an outlet and the amount due is pushed to the terminal at checkout, processed by Stripe, and recorded on the WooCommerce order — no double entry, no reconciliation drift.

WooCommerce POS for iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac & PC

Oliver POS ships native apps for iPhone, iPad and Android, plus a web register that runs in any modern browser on Mac, PC and Chromebook. Tap to Pay works on every modern iPhone (iOS 16.4+) and on supported Android phones — no extra card reader required. Touch, mouse, keyboard, camera and Bluetooth/USB barcode scanners are all first-class inputs. Use a Mac as your back-office register, an iPad on the counter, an iPhone for pop-ups and street markets, and the Oliver POS countertop terminal for high-volume lanes — all selling from the same WooCommerce shop.

Works With the WooCommerce Plugins You Already Run

Because Oliver POS reads and writes through the official WooCommerce REST API, your existing WooCommerce extensions keep working at the counter — including WooCommerce Subscriptions, Memberships, Bookings, Product Bundles, Points & Rewards, Gift Cards and WooPayments. No bespoke integration per plugin, no broken add-ons, no workflow change for your online customers. The themes, taxes, shipping rules, coupons and product types you already use on your WooCommerce shop apply in-store too.

Real-Time Inventory, Reports & Staff Insights

Sales, stock movements, payment summaries, tax reports and staff performance — all live, all sliced by outlet, register and shift. Oliver POS includes 15+ unique reports out of the box in Oliver Hub, plus staff permissions backed by real WordPress capabilities so each user only sees what they’re entitled to.

Free to Start, Paid to Scale

Oliver POS offers a genuine Free plan — no credit card, no trial timer — so you can install, pair a device and ring up a real sale before you ever pay us. Paid tiers unlock multi-outlet, advanced reporting, integrated payments and priority support. Current pricing lives at oliverpos.com/pricing.

Hardware Built for Retail

Bring your own iPad, Mac or PC, or buy the purpose-built Oliver POS terminals — integrated receipt printer, barcode scanner, cash drawer and card terminal in one box, running the Oliver POS Android app. Third-party thermal printers, barcode scanners and cash drawers also work out of the box.

Support You Can Reach

Email [email protected] and a human responds within one business day. We also run live chat from inside Oliver Hub and maintain a public help centre at help.oliverpos.com. Bug reports, feature requests and security disclosures are all welcome — see the Privacy & Security section below for how to reach our security team.

Privacy & Security

Oliver POS is designed so that the merchant — not Oliver POS — is the data controller, and card data never enters our systems.

  • Card data path. For Stripe Terminal and every WooCommerce payment gateway, card information flows directly between the customer’s terminal / browser and the gateway. The Oliver POS plugin and our backend never see card numbers, CVVs or full PANs.
  • Device pairing uses WordPress Application Passwords. The 4.3.0 “Connect with site URL” flow asks the merchant to approve a single Application Password prompt in wp-admin. Devices authenticate with that password against the standard WordPress REST API — no shared secrets, no master credentials.
  • No analytics, advertising, or telemetry. The plugin does not transmit shop data to any third party for analytics, advertising or telemetry. The only outbound calls are documented in External services below.
  • Clean uninstall. Removing the plugin deletes every option, custom table and meta key Oliver POS created. Your WooCommerce orders, products and customers are untouched.
  • Idempotent device pairing. The bootstrap pairing endpoint is keyed on the WordPress user and the device’s UUID, so a re-run of the pairing flow from the same device (for example, recovering from a network drop mid-pair) returns the same consumer_key / consumer_secret rather than orphaning the previous WooCommerce REST API key. The key is gated by manage_woocommerce, remains revocable by the merchant in WooCommerce Settings Advanced REST API, and the plugin explicitly rejects pairings whose key was revoked between attempts.
  • Security disclosure. Report vulnerabilities to [email protected]. We acknowledge within one business day.

External services

This plugin connects to a small number of external services so that the in-store register, the merchant subscription and integrated card payments can work. The plugin does not transmit shop data to any third party for analytics, advertising or telemetry.

Oliver POS backend (phoenix.oliverpos.com)

The plugin contacts the Oliver POS backend to register the merchant’s site, manage their Oliver POS subscription, mint short-lived authentication tokens, link a Stripe Connect account for integrated card payments, and synchronise Stripe Terminal locations when outlets are created or deleted.

What is sent: the WordPress site URL, the merchant’s WordPress user ID and email when they sign in to Oliver POS, the outlet IDs and addresses configured in this plugin, and the Stripe account ID once the merchant connects one. Card data is never handled by this plugin or by phoenix.oliverpos.com; it goes directly between the merchant’s browser / terminal and Stripe.

When it is sent: only after the merchant explicitly opts in by clicking “Create your free Oliver POS account” on the Billing page or on the first-run Dashboard onboarding panel (or “Connect with Stripe” on the Oliver Pay page), after which the page also fetches the current subscription status, and on subsequent merchant actions: clicking “Manage your current plan” on Billing, pasting an OPAY-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX activation code into the Billing page (or following the marketing-site deep link ?claim=OPAY-…), adding / editing / deleting an outlet, running the “Sync Terminal Locations” / “Refresh status” / “Test connection” / “Refresh plan from Stripe” actions, or when a paired Oliver POS device requests a Phoenix pairing code via POST /oliver-pos/v1/devices/phoenix-pair-code (which the plugin proxies through to /api/devices/pairing-codes). Plan selection itself happens on oliverpos.com/pricing, not inside wp-admin. No outbound call is made on plugin activation, on plugins_loaded, on init, on the Oliver POS Dashboard / Settings / Reports / Staff / Outlets / Receipts admin pages (the Dashboard onboarding panel only transmits when the explicit “Create your free Oliver POS account” button is clicked — its disclosure expander lists exactly what gets sent), or on any frontend request.

Endpoints used: /api/auth/token, /api/auth/register, /api/auth/claim, /api/subscriptions/current, /api/subscriptions/manage-link, /api/subscriptions/resync, /api/connect/status, /api/connect/accounts, /api/connect/sessions, /api/terminal/locations, /api/terminal/locations/sync, /api/devices/pairing-codes, /.well-known/jwks.json.

The /.well-known/jwks.json endpoint is the RSA public-key directory the plugin reads (no shop data sent in the request) to verify Phoenix-issued bearer tokens presented by the Oliver POS web register at app.oliverpos.com. The response is a small JSON document of public keys, cached on the merchant’s site for 24 hours, and contains no merchant data. Required only on sites whose merchants use the web register; native iOS / Android apps continue to authenticate with WooCommerce consumer keys and never trigger this lookup.

Service: Oliver POS — see Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

Switching backends (developers / QA). The active backend is selected by the PHOENIX_ENV constant in wp-config.php and defaults to production. Setting define( 'PHOENIX_ENV', 'staging' ); routes every request to phoenix-api-git-staging-oliver-pos.vercel.app (Stripe test mode, separate Neon database). The staging deployment sits behind Vercel Deployment Protection, so the matching define( 'PHOENIX_STAGING_BYPASS_TOKEN', '<token>' ); constant is also required — without it the plugin returns an inline diagnostic instead of attempting any call. Both constants are intentionally wp-config.php-only (never exposed in wp-admin) so a misconfigured site cannot route real Stripe traffic to the staging environment. The staging deployment is intended for Oliver POS internal QA only and is not used by production sites.

Local-dev forwarding (advanced). Setting define( 'PHOENIX_BASE_URL_OVERRIDE', 'https://your-tunnel.example' ); overrides the resolved base URL for both production and staging, which is useful when developing Phoenix locally behind ngrok or a similar reverse proxy. Leave this constant undefined on every other install.

End-to-end smoke tests (Oliver POS developers / QA only). The plugin’s public source repository ships a dev/ folder with wp eval-file-style smoke scripts that exercise the Phoenix code paths end-to-end against the active environment — a destructive staging-smoke.php for staging, and a read-only prod-smoke.php for diagnosing real merchants. These scripts are intentionally not included in the version of the plugin distributed through WordPress.org. To run them, check out the source from the public GitHub repository and follow dev/README.md. They are not needed (and not loadable) on a normal merchant install.

Stripe webhook URL gotcha (staging only). Stripe sends webhooks server-to-server, so the test-mode webhook endpoint configured in dashboard.stripe.com must include the Vercel Deployment Protection bypass token as a query parameter — https://phoenix-api-git-staging-oliver-pos.vercel.app/api/webhooks/stripe?x-vercel-protection-bypass=<token> — otherwise every delivery returns Vercel’s SSO login HTML and Phoenix’s handler never runs. This is a Phoenix / DevOps configuration concern (the plugin doesn’t receive webhooks itself), but a missing bypass on the webhook URL is the most common reason staging subscriptions appear stuck after Checkout. The plugin’s “Refresh plan from Stripe” button on the Billing admin page is the per-merchant recovery path when this happens — it forces a pull-through reconcile from Stripe via /api/subscriptions/resync.

Stripe Connect embedded UI (connect-js.stripe.com)

The plugin loads https://connect-js.stripe.com/connect-js.umd.js on the Oliver Pay admin page so the merchant can complete Stripe Connect onboarding and review their payouts inside wp-admin without leaving the site. This script is hosted by Stripe and cannot be self-hosted (Stripe’s terms require the live URL).

What is sent: the Stripe-issued client secret minted by phoenix.oliverpos.com for the current admin session. No shop data is sent directly from this plugin to Stripe; everything flows through the Stripe-hosted UI under the merchant’s own Stripe account.

When it is sent: only when the merchant opens the Oliver POS Oliver Pay admin page.

Service: Stripe — see Stripe Services Agreement and Stripe Privacy Policy.

常见问题

What do I need to run a WooCommerce POS in my store?

A WordPress site with WooCommerce installed and configured — that’s it. Your WooCommerce products, prices, inventory, customers, tax rates and currency are the single source of truth for Oliver POS, so set those up in WooCommerce before pairing your first device.

For hardware, any modern browser will run the Oliver POS web register. We recommend Chrome on Mac, PC or Android, and Safari on iPad. Receipt printing uses the device’s default printer.

Can a WooCommerce POS keep selling when the internet goes down?

Yes. The “Allow offline orders” setting is enabled by default. When your device loses internet connectivity, Oliver POS keeps accepting sales — every order is queued on the device and syncs into WooCommerce in order the moment the connection comes back. Refunds, live stock checks and customer lookups require an online connection because they touch live WooCommerce data.

Which payment gateways does Oliver POS support in-store?

All of them. Any payment gateway you’ve enabled in WooCommerce Settings Payments can be turned on for in-store use in Oliver POS Payment Methods. When the cashier picks that gateway at checkout, the gateway’s own payment form opens in a WebView on the POS device. We’ve tested with WooPayments, Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, Square, Mollie, Amazon Pay and Authorize.net, but any properly-built WooCommerce gateway will work.

Oliver POS also has a first-class integration with Stripe Terminal for card-present payments — pair a reader to an outlet and the amount due is pushed automatically at checkout.

Does Oliver POS support Apple Pay, Google Pay and Tap to Pay?

Yes — through whichever wallet-enabled gateway you’ve already configured in WooCommerce. If your WooPayments or Stripe gateway has Apple Pay and Google Pay turned on, those wallets will appear on the POS WebView checkout exactly as they do on your online store.

Can I run Oliver POS on iPhone, iPad and Android?

Yes. Oliver POS ships native apps for iPhone, iPad and Android phones / tablets, and the web register also runs in Safari on iPad and in Chrome on Android. Tap to Pay on iPhone (iOS 16.4+) and Tap to Pay on supported Android phones let any modern phone accept contactless cards and wallets with no extra hardware. We also support iPad / iPhone-friendly Bluetooth barcode scanners, AirPrint receipt printers and the Stripe Terminal BBPOS WisePad 3.

Does Oliver POS work for multi-outlet retailers and chains?

Yes. Oliver POS is built around outlets — each physical store or pop-up gets its own stock levels, register sequence, payment methods, tax setup and timezone, while all rolling up to the same WooCommerce shop. Stock can be transferred between outlets, and reports can be filtered per outlet, per register or globally.

How long does it take to get up and running?

We’ve shipped Oliver POS to over 45,000 retailers, and the median setup is under three minutes:

  1. Install and activate the plugin.
  2. Click Connect and create your free Oliver POS account.
  3. Open the web register or pair an iPad / Android device, and ring up your first sale.

How much does a WooCommerce POS cost? Is there a free plan?

Oliver POS offers a free plan with no credit card required. Paid tiers add multi-outlet, advanced reporting, integrated payments and priority support. See current pricing on oliverpos.com.

Does Oliver POS use the official WooCommerce REST API (no vendor lock-in)?

Yes. When you pair a device, Oliver POS mints a real WooCommerce REST API key for that station and the device speaks wp-json/wc/v3/* directly. Your orders, products, refunds and customers are stored as standard WooCommerce records — no proprietary tables, no vendor lock-in. If you ever stop using Oliver POS, your data stays exactly where it is.

Is Oliver POS GDPR and PCI compliant?

Card data never touches the Oliver POS plugin or our servers. For integrated card payments via Stripe Terminal or any WooCommerce gateway, card information flows directly between the customer’s card / terminal / browser and the gateway, keeping your shop’s PCI scope to the SAQ-A or SAQ-A-EP minimum.

For GDPR, the plugin transmits only the data documented in the External services section below, never sells data, never runs third-party analytics, and removes all stored Oliver POS data cleanly on uninstall.

Can I print receipts with Oliver POS?

Yes — thermal, inkjet, laser and Bluetooth receipt printers all work. The Oliver POS terminals ship with an integrated thermal printer that auto-prints after every checkout. Other setups print to whatever printer is connected as the device default. Email and SMS receipts are also supported.

All my products have barcodes — will Oliver POS scan them?

Yes. Any USB or Bluetooth barcode scanner that emulates a keyboard works out of the box. Add the barcode as the SKU or to a custom field in WooCommerce, and Oliver POS will look it up at the speed of the scanner. You can also scan barcodes with the device’s built-in camera on iPhone, iPad and Android — no extra hardware required.

Can I accept card payments on my iPhone without a card reader?

Yes. Oliver POS supports Tap to Pay on iPhone (iOS 16.4+) and Tap to Pay on Android through our integration with Stripe Terminal. Tap a contactless card, Apple Pay or Google Pay against the back of the phone, the charge runs through your own Stripe account, and the completed payment is recorded on the WooCommerce order — no extra reader, no double entry, no reconciliation drift.

Is Oliver POS compatible with WooCommerce Subscriptions, Bookings, Gift Cards and Memberships?

Yes. Because Oliver POS reads and writes through the official WooCommerce REST API, your existing WooCommerce extensions keep working at the counter — including WooCommerce Subscriptions, Memberships, Bookings, Product Bundles, Points & Rewards, Gift Cards and WooPayments. There is no bespoke integration to install per plugin, and the customer experience on your online store stays unchanged.

I bought this plugin for a client who uses (or at least tries to use) Oliver POS on a daily basis, and the verdict is clear. Numerous daily glitches: orders that register in WooCommerce and the Hub at €0 even though prices have been entered, and deleted products that continue to appear in the Hub. On top of everything else, the support service is nowhere to be found. Paying for an annual or lifetime subscription is a total rip-off; we should all take legal action against this fraudulent company! When you finally manage to talk to a human, they give you a completely irrelevant answer! It’s really disappointing because, for a small business, investing €250 in point-of-sale software is no small matter… I’m giving it one star because you can’t give it any less. Shame on you @OliverPOS !

We attempted to implement Oliver POS (v2.4.2.6) on a WooCommerce site and were unable to complete the initial connection process. After entering the subscription key, the plugin simply spins and returns: {“exceptions”:null,”Message”:null,”opConnect”:”noResponse”} To rule out local configuration issues, we conducted direct server-level testing of the API endpoints used by the plugin. From our production server, the Oliver endpoints revealed in their plugin consistently return HTTP 500 (Internal Server Error). This confirms the failure is occurring server-side within Oliver’s API, not within WordPress or WooCommerce. Additionally, the plugin does not surface meaningful error messages. Instead of reporting the upstream 500 response, it returns a generic “noResponse” result, which makes troubleshooting unnecessarily difficult. Oliver advertises 24/7 support, yet when attempting to contact support during this issue, we were informed no one would be available for approximately 15 hours. For a POS system that relies on external API connectivity, that level of responsiveness is concerning. We cannot recommend a POS solution where: Core onboarding endpoints return 500 errors, Errors are suppressed rather than properly reported, Support is not immediately accessible despite 24/7 claims. (also see all none responsive requests in other reviews!!) Until API reliability and support responsiveness improve, we would advise not to consider this as a reliable POS solution!!

This plugin has a lot of potential. When it works it works well. Many of the features it claims to have do not work properly or maybe I am unable to get them to work, however since support is non-existant I do not know. My last support ticket took 6 weeks to be resolved. SUPPORT, SUPPORT, SUPPORT.
2026 年 1 月 15 日
I spent hours analyzing the right POS solution with my client only to select OliverPOS, purchase the paid plan (luckily it’s just a 7-day free trial) and then find out it is no longer being supported. This was confirmed by their support team. Plugin should be removed from the directory.
2025 年 9 月 1 日
This extension works well at first glance. But unfortunately, even if unlike others I managed to get support feedback via their site, each of the responses was “it’s on Woocommerce’s side, we can’t do anything”. I think that this extension had its moment of glory but that now (they are normally preparing big changes according to their support) the support leaves something to be desired, the extension itself seems to be abandoned with no one behind it. If you are looking for a POS extension for your store, consider another one, you will relieve yourself of a headache. Once again, it’s a shame because initially the extension does the job perfectly.

4.7.0 – 2026-05-28

  • Web register support — Phoenix bearer-JWT verification. The plugin now accepts Authorization: Bearer <phoenix-jwt> on every /wp-json/oliver-pos/v1/* route and every proxied /wp-json/wc/v3/* route, so the Compose wasm-JS web register hosted at app.oliverpos.com can pair against a merchant site without ever sending a WooCommerce consumer secret. Tokens are RS256-signed by Phoenix and verified against the JWKS document the plugin caches from /.well-known/jwks.json (production: phoenix.oliverpos.com; staging: phoenix-staging.oliverpos.com, selected by the existing PHOENIX_ENV constant). Iron-law: the browser MUST NEVER see consumer_key / consumer_secret — the bearer path is the only inbound auth surface for web-origin traffic, and a defensive guard rejects Basic auth from any web allowlist origin to keep a misconfigured upstream proxy from leaking secrets. Native iOS / Android apps continue to authenticate with WooCommerce consumer keys via the existing authenticate_wc_api_keys bridge — the bearer path is purely additive.
  • Cross-origin (CORS) headers for the web register. Every authenticated REST response is decorated with Access-Control-Allow-Origin (echoed from the matched allowlist origin — app.oliverpos.com, app-staging.oliverpos.com, plus http://localhost:8080 only when WP_DEBUG or OLIVER_POS_DEV is on), …-Credentials: true, …-Expose-Headers listing X-OliverPOS-Server-Load, X-OliverPOS-Memory-Pressure, X-OliverPOS-Suggested-PerPage, X-WP-Total, X-WP-TotalPages, Retry-After (the app’s AdaptiveSyncPolicy and rate-limit cooldowns silently misbehave without this list), and Vary: Origin so CDN caches stay safe. OPTIONS preflights are short-circuited on init with 204 No Content + Access-Control-Max-Age: 600. Allowlist is filterable via oliver_pos_web_register_cors_origins for self-hosted dev installs.
  • Adaptive-sync headers widened to /wc/v3/*. The four X-OliverPOS-* advisory headers now also land on WooCommerce core REST responses so the web register’s first-pair sync (which is dominated by /wc/v3/products and /wc/v3/orders pulls) gets the same memory-pressure / suggested-per-page clamping that /oliver-pos/v1/* has had since 4.6.0. New oliver_pos_server_health_route_patterns filter (plural) lets sites broaden or narrow the scope further; the 4.6.x oliver_pos_server_health_route_pattern singular filter still works as a back-compat override.
  • includes/auth/ module. Four new classes, zero new external dependencies. Jwks_Client caches the JWKS document in a transient (TTL 24 h, single refetch on kid miss, 60 s negative cache to prevent flooding Phoenix when bad tokens arrive). Jwt_Verifier is a hand-rolled RS256 verifier on top of ext-openssl — algorithm is pinned (rejects alg=none and HS256 confusion attacks), exp / iat / nbf honoured with a 30 s clock-skew leeway, required claims checked (siteId, outletId, stationId, deviceId, iat, exp). Web_Register_Auth orchestrates extraction verify site / station cross-check, slots in at determine_current_user priority 10 (before WC’s auth at 15 and the existing WC-key bridge at 20), and surfaces deferred rejection reasons via rest_authentication_errors so 401 / 403 bodies carry an actionable code instead of an opaque “logged out”. Cors handles the allowlist + preflight + response-header decoration.
  • Station::find_by_device_uuid() — new lookup used by the bearer path to resolve the WP user from the JWT’s deviceId claim (the existing find_by_user_device() couldn’t be reused because the bearer path discovers the user FROM the station row, not the other way around).
  • Rest_Filters::set_current_station_id() — public setter so the bearer-auth path can record the resolved station id without touching private state. oliver_pos_get_current_station_id() continues to work transparently across both the WC-key and bearer auth paths, so station-bound routes like POST /stations/{id}/activate need no changes.
  • Cross-team coordination note. Any change to the verifier (accepted algorithms, claim shape, JWKS URL, allowlist origins, expose-headers list) MUST be flagged to the Kotlin app team before shipping — the app’s PhoenixDeviceJwtProvider, JwtRefresher, BearerTokenHolder, and AdaptiveSyncPolicy are coupled to this contract. See the CROSS-TEAM: block in includes/auth/class-jwt-verifier.php and docs/handover-2026-05-web-register.md §6 for the protocol.
  • Tests. New tests/test-jwt-verifier.php (RS256 happy path, alg=none / HS256-confusion rejection, signature tampering, temporal-claim leeway, required-claim enforcement, JWK PEM conversion), tests/test-jwks-client.php (cache hit / miss / kid-rotation refetch / persistent miss negative cache, transport-failure, malformed-JWKS handling, env-aware URL resolution + filter), tests/test-web-register-auth.php (resolved-user happy path, deferred rejection plumbing via rest_authentication_errors, site / station mismatch 403, Basic-from-web-origin 401, native-call pass-through), tests/test-cors.php (allowlist resolution including WP_DEBUG / OLIVER_POS_DEV gating, expose-list contract assertion, no-op for unknown origins). Existing tests/test-rest-filters-server-health.php extended to cover /wc/v3/* widening and back-compat with the legacy singular pattern filter.
  • docs/handover-2026-05-web-register.md — plugin-side companion to the app handover at oliver-pos-app/docs/handover-2026-05-web-register.md. Documents the wire contract, the allowlist, the OLIVER_POS_DEV flag, the JWKS cache TTL, the test fixtures, and the cross-team coordination protocol.
  • Out of scope, deliberately. No /devices/bootstrap route alias (the app contract’s path-naming preference) — the bearer path works against the existing /bootstrap and /bootstrap/preview routes unchanged. No Stripe Terminal internet-reader work (Bucket B). No new endpoints; routes mentioned in the contract that this plugin doesn’t currently expose (e.g. /products/delta, /customers) land in their own follow-up PRs.

4.6.0 – 2026-05-27

  • Adaptive-sync resilience contract. Every /oliver-pos/v1/* REST response now carries four advisory X-OliverPOS-* headers that let the iOS / Android device shrink sync batches, add inter-page delays, and reduce variation concurrency before anything actually fails. Headers are X-OliverPOS-Server-Load (1-min load average normalised by detected CPU cores; literal unknown when sys_getloadavg() is unavailable on Windows / App Engine / Cloud Run), X-OliverPOS-Memory-Pressure (low / medium / high derived from memory_get_usage(true) vs ini_get('memory_limit') with 60 % / 80 % cut-offs), X-OliverPOS-Suggested-PerPage (5100 ceiling the plugin thinks the host can sustain — the app’s AIMD ladder clamps to this on the lower side and ignores it on the higher side, so a misconfigured plugin can never push a cashier into 1 000-item batches), and X-OliverPOS-PHP-Time-Used-Ms (telemetry only). Wire contract is in the app repo at docs/plugin-adaptive-sync-guide.md §3.
  • 503 self-protection. New rest_request_before_callbacks short-circuit refuses /oliver-pos/v1/* requests with 503 oliver_pos_overloaded + Retry-After: 60 when the host is at ≥90 % memory_limit OR sustained 1-min load ≥2.0 per core — instead of letting PHP / nginx return a 504 / 502 / blank HTML page 30 s later. CPU alone (without sustained load) is deliberately NOT a trip reason — a fresh install pegs CPU during the initial catalog rebuild without a queue forming. The 503 body carries the documented {code, message, data:{status, retry_after, load_avg}} shape and Retry-After is lifted from data.retry_after to a real HTTP header by the existing apply_retry_after_header() filter (now scoped to both 429 and 503). Critical-UX routes — /heartbeat, /bootstrap, /devices/phoenix-pair-code, /preflight, /orders — are exempt from self-tripping via SELF_TRIP_SKIP_PREFIXES (heartbeat is the connectivity probe, bootstrap/pairing is critical UX, orders POST hands off to a durable queue). Skip list is filterable via oliver_pos_server_health_self_trip_skip_routes.
  • New GET /wp-json/oliver-pos/v1/preflight endpoint. Cheap startup-time capability probe so the device can clamp its AIMD ladder before firing the first real sync. Returns { max_per_page, supports_partial_responses, average_load_avg_24h, php_memory_limit_bytes, php_max_execution_time_seconds, plugin_version, wp_version, wc_version }. max_per_page is sourced from the live Server_Health snapshot so pressure already clamps the advertised ceiling at first contact. supports_partial_responses is false in 4.6.x per the §7 compatibility matrix — flipping to true is a single PR once the §5 partial-responses contract is settled with the app team. average_load_avg_24h is null until a rolling sampler ships; reporting null is honest, reporting current load and calling it a 24-hour average would not be. Permission-gated on edit_shop_orders and exempt from self-trip (the probe itself must always work on a buckling host).
  • Tools Site Health Info / Status integration. New Oliver POS – Adaptive sync panel surfaces the static host facts (detected CPU cores, memory_limit, max_execution_time), the current snapshot’s suggested per_page ceiling, today’s 503 self-trip count, and the timestamp of the last trip. A direct (synchronous) Site Health Status test flips from good recommended at ≥5 self-trips/day and recommended critical at ≥25/day, with copy that explains the degraded mode is safe (cashiers can keep selling) but usually means PHP memory_limit is borderline. Lets support diagnose “host is buckling regularly” without tailing PHP logs.
  • includes/class-server-health.php — single source of truth for the adaptive-sync probe. Per-request memoized snapshot (detect_cores() probes NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS then /proc/cpuinfo, never shell_exec('nproc') which is blocked on every managed host this targets; detect_load() returns null when sys_getloadavg() is unavailable; detect_memory_used/limit() reads PHP’s INI). Filterable via oliver_pos_server_health_snapshot so CI smoke tests and dev sites can force a known shape, and oliver_pos_server_health_is_overloaded for kill-switch use. Daily self-trip counter is bounded to one wp_options write per request (the alternative — increment-on-every-call — would itself contribute to load), keyed on gmdate('Y-m-d') so it rolls naturally on day-boundary.
  • tests/test-server-health.php — 14 PHPUnit cases covering snapshot memoization + reset, memory-pressure threshold boundaries (59 / 60 / 79 / 80 / 95 %), suggested_per_page derivation (pressure × load × cores), unknown load fallback, header emission on healthy / unknown / multi-core / non-WP_REST_Response inputs, is_overloaded() boundary tests (memory 90 %, load 2.0/core, multi-core scaling, null load), filterable kill-switch, build_overloaded_error() wire-shape match against plugin-adaptive-sync-guide.md §4.2, omission of load_avg when sys_getloadavg() is unavailable, daily counter increment, and rollover on gmdate('Y-m-d') change.
  • tests/test-rest-filters-server-health.php — 9 integration cases dispatching real /oliver-pos/v1/* REST requests: every endpoint carries the four advisory headers, headers reflect the forced snapshot, /wp/v2/* core routes never get our headers (scope assertion), 503 fires with Retry-After + X-OliverPOS-* headers on a forced-overload snapshot, heartbeat / preflight are exempt, WP core routes never get a 503, the self-trip counter increments by one per refused request, and oliver_pos_server_health_self_trip_skip_routes can extend the allowlist at runtime.
  • tests/test-preflight-endpoint.php — 6 cases asserting the documented shape, type enforcement on every field, max_per_page clamps under pressure, supports_partial_responses=false regression guard for the §7 matrix, payload filter, 403 for users without edit_shop_orders, and Cache-Control: no-store so capability changes propagate.
  • Plugin compatibility matrix moves to 4.6.x (per plugin-adaptive-sync-guide.md §7). App-side reads of advisory headers go from no-op (4.5.x) to actively driving the AIMD ladder, and 503 / Retry-After is the new degraded-mode contract. Apps that don’t read the headers ignore them; a plugin that doesn’t emit them (older releases) keeps working with the existing fixed-batch behaviour, so the rollout is strictly additive in both directions.
  • Out of scope, deliberately. §5 (“time-budgeted /products/delta“) of the guide describes a /wp-json/oliver-pos/v1/products endpoint that does not exist in this plugin — product catalog reads in the device app go through WooCommerce core’s /wc/v3/products, which we can’t add time_budget_ms to without monkey-patching WC. The §7 matrix flags partial responses as 4.7.x optional / 4.8.x required, so this is not a 4.6.0 blocker. Plugin-side handover doc docs/handover-2026-05-adaptive-sync.md §5 flags the open question to align with the app team before shipping any partial-response surface.
  • Legacy 2.x / 3.x 4.x upgrade rescue notice. Two-pronged mitigation for merchants who are still on the original Oliver POS plugin (different codebase, removed from wp.org and re-published under the same oliver-pos slug as the 4.x rewrite). Prong 1 is the new = 4.6.0 = block in == Upgrade Notice == above, which wp.org renders right above the “Update Now” button in the Plugins screen and Dashboard Updates — the only message that reaches the merchant BEFORE they click. Prong 2 is a new one-shot, dismissible notice-warning rendered on the first wp-admin page load AFTER a pre-4.0 4.x jump: explains that paired devices and old settings are not carried over, links to the migration guide and support, and survives page reloads via a sticky oliver_pos_legacy_upgrade_from option (cleared on Dismiss). Detection runs inside Activator::maybe_upgrade() BEFORE oliver_pos_version is bumped, so the original pre-4.0 fingerprint is preserved across subsequent 4.x 4.x point updates. Fresh installs (oliver_pos_version = '0.0.0') and 4.x 4.x upgrades deliberately do NOT trigger the notice. New class lives at includes/admin/class-legacy-upgrade-notice.php with full unit coverage in tests/test-legacy-upgrade-notice.php (record / render / dismiss + activator integration).

4.5.10 – 2026-05-27

  • Critical inventory-accuracy fix (OLV-2026-012). POS orders coming through POST /oliver-pos/v1/orders were decrementing product / outlet stock twice — once via WooCommerce core’s wc_reduce_stock_levels() when the order transitioned to completed, and a second time via a custom Order_Queue::deduct_outlet_stock() call right after save(). A 2-unit sale against a 42-unit row landed at 38 instead of 40. Both stock-reduction order notes reported “now 40” because each handler captured its own pre-write snapshot, so the bug was invisible from the cashier’s audit trail. Reproduced by the native team on ms-oliver-small-store.instawp.co Order #149 (Shoe Cleaner SKU 85960).
  • Single-source-of-truth decrement. Order_Queue::populate_order() no longer performs its own per-outlet decrement. WooCommerce core’s wc_reduce_stock_levels() do_action('woocommerce_reduce_order_stock', $order) Stock_Manager::route_stock_reduction() is now the single decrement primitive for both POS and online orders, and it already handles the atomic Outlet_Stock::decrement() UPDATE, the heal-on-read seed from legacy _oliver_stock_{outlet_id} postmeta, the dual-mode legacy meta dual-write, the Stock_Meta::sync_global_stock() tail in new_only mode, and the “Oliver POS: × N deducted from … (stock now: N)” cashier audit note. The previous custom decrement was a near-verbatim duplicate of Stock_Manager::deduct_outlet_stock() and added ~70 lines of stock logic for nothing but a second write.
  • Pre-flight check preserves the structured insufficient_stock: device error. Removing the post-save decrement also removed the deficit-reporting branch the device relies on to render its stock-conflict UI. Replaced with a new private Order_Queue::preflight_outlet_stock() that runs BEFORE $order->save(), reads each line item’s available outlet stock (with the same heal-on-read seed as Stock_Manager), and short-circuits the save with a RuntimeException( 'insufficient_stock:' . wp_json_encode( $deficits ) ) when any line can’t be fulfilled. The deficit array shape (product_id, outlet_id, requested, available) is byte-for-byte identical, so Order_Sync::handle_sync() keeps forwarding error: "insufficient_stock" + deficits[] to the device unchanged. The outer catch then deletes the empty pending shell from wc_create_order() via delete_partial_order() and mark_failed() writes the insufficient_stock: prefix onto the queue row (treated as terminal — no retry, since retrying would never make the deficit smaller).
  • New “Pair a device” button on the Dashboard header. Always-on affordance to mint a fresh station QR / connection key after disconnecting, reinstalling, or losing a paired device — without drilling into Outlets edit Stations. Reuses the existing oliver_pos_add_station AJAX pipeline and the same renderQRCode / connection-key copy helpers as the outlet-edit Stations meta box, so the QR contents and key are byte-for-byte identical between the two surfaces. The modal markup was lifted into a shared Outlet_Admin::render_qr_modal() helper so there is a single source of truth.
  • Out of scope, deliberately unchanged. The wire payload contract on OrderSyncEntry (no status / set_paid / reduce_stock / manage_stock / stock_quantity fields — locked in the iOS / Android app by LocalOrderTest.completedSaleEntryOmitsStatusField), the refund restock REST path (POST /oliver-pos/v1/products/{id}/stock Stock_Rest::process_adjustment()), and Stock_Manager‘s behaviour for online (non-POS) orders.
  • Operational note for already-affected merchants. Stores running 4.5.9 or earlier will have drifted stock counts proportional to POS volume since the bug was introduced. The fix stops future drift only; reconciling existing counts requires either a manual stock-take or a one-time admin action — flagging to the rollout team to coordinate before bumping merchants to 4.5.10.
  • tests/test-order-queue-stock-deduction.php — 9 PHPUnit cases exercising the full Order_Queue::enqueue() process_pending() process_claimed() populate_order() pipeline against a real WC_Product_Simple, the wp_oliver_outlet_stock table and the legacy postmeta. Includes the OLV-2026-012 canary (stock 42, qty 2 final 40 — wired into CI as the regression guard), a quantity sweep (1, 3, 5), a two-line-item case, a manage_stock=false case asserting the outlet row stays put, the receipt-number idempotency case, the insufficient-stock failure path with deficit-shape and no-partial-order assertions, an order-notes assertion that exactly one “Oliver POS: × N deducted from … (stock now: 40)” note appears with the correct post-decrement value, and a refund-regression case confirming Outlet_Stock::increment() still restocks by exactly the refunded quantity.

4.5.9 – 2026-05-27

  • New POST /wp-json/oliver-pos/v1/staff/me/pin/change REST endpoint — the only path that rotates an existing staff PIN. Requires current_pin (constant-time-verified against the stored hash via wp_check_password) plus a new_pin (4–6 digits). Closes the long-standing “Set up or change PIN” cliff in the Oliver POS iOS app (bug OLV-2026-002): the app was reusing the first-set endpoint POST /staff/me/pin, which correctly returns 409 oliver_pos_pin_exists once a PIN is stored, so the new PIN never persisted. The first-set endpoint stays exactly as it is — /pin/change is the new, dedicated rotation path.
  • Failed current_pin attempts on the new endpoint share the exact same rate-limit bucket as POST /staff/verify-pin (5 failures per 15 min, keyed by IP + WP user id). An attacker cannot bypass the verify-pin lockout by alternating between the two endpoints. Format errors (400), no-PIN-set (403), uniqueness collisions (409), and successful changes (200) never increment the counter — only the 401 oliver_pos_invalid_pin branch does.
  • Successful changes reuse POS_Roles::set_pin(), so the new PIN hash is produced by the same wp_hash_password() pipeline as the first-set endpoint and the staff heartbeat hash is bumped on save (other paired devices resync on their next heartbeat — closes the “Device A and Device B disagree about the active PIN” UX hazard).
  • New bounded ring-buffer audit log (oliver_pos_pin_audit_log, capped at 50 entries, FIFO eviction) records the fact of every PIN change — {ts, user_id, action: "pin_changed", ip, user_agent}. Neither the current nor the new PIN is ever passed to the audit helper or written to the log. Option is cleaned up on uninstall.
  • tests/test-staff-me-pin-change-endpoint.php — 8 PHPUnit cases covering the 200 happy path (hash rotated, staff heartbeat hash bumped, audit row appended), each 400 oliver_pos_pin_invalid shape, the 401 oliver_pos_invalid_pin rate-limit increment, 403 oliver_pos_no_pin_set, 409 oliver_pos_pin_taken collision detection, mixed-endpoint 429 oliver_pos_rate_limited lockout with Retry-After, a regression guard that the plaintext PIN never appears in the serialised audit log, and confirmation that a successful change does not invalidate the auth session.

4.5.8 – 2026-05-22

  • Billing dashboard iteration on top of 4.5.7 — Billing core rework, Billing_Admin polish, JS/CSS refinements, and additional Pay_API_Client resilience. New BillingClaimTest unit coverage.
  • First-run UX: promoted the “Create your free Oliver POS account” CTA from the Billing page into the existing Dashboard onboarding panel so it’s the first thing a merchant sees after activation, with conversion copy (“Free forever · No credit card · Instant · Start selling”) and a one-click flow. The Billing-page CTA stays as a fallback surface.
  • Still a single explicit, disclosed click — WordPress.org Plugin Directory guideline 7 (no “phoning home” without informed consent) preserved. Activation continues to make zero outbound calls; the new card carries the same expandable “What gets sent when you click” disclosure as the Billing CTA, listing site URL, site name, and admin email before any request goes out.
  • No new endpoints. The new Dashboard button reuses the existing wp_ajax_oliver_pos_billing_register handler (nonce oliver_pos_billing), so the throttle, error mapping, and Phoenix register path are a single source of truth across both surfaces.
  • Hero subhead on the Dashboard panel updated to reflect the new step. When Pay_API_Client::is_registered() is already true (e.g. the merchant registered from Billing first), the card renders in a compact “Account created” state in place so returning merchants see continuity rather than a missing step.

4.5.7 – 2026-05-21

  • Phoenix device pairing bridge, plan-tier gating, /meta wire-shape fix. Staff admin form values preserved on validation errors and the user dropdown is broadened.

4.5.6 – 2026-05-20

  • Fresh-install UX fix: outlet stock is now seeded from WooCommerce’s existing _stock on activation, so a single-outlet store sees real inventory the moment a device pairs. Previously every product showed “0 in stock” until the merchant manually entered per-outlet quantities — busy-work that defeated the “install pair start ringing” promise.
  • Implemented as a single bulk INSERT … SELECT in the new Activator::maybe_seed_outlet_stock_from_woo() so it stays fast on 50k+ SKU catalogs. Only products / variations with _manage_stock = 'yes' and post_status = 'publish' are seeded; unmanaged products (which rely on _stock_status alone) are deliberately skipped so they don’t suddenly look out-of-stock on the device.
  • Four belt-and-braces guards: the seed is a no-op when already run (one-shot oliver_pos_outlet_stock_seeded option), when the install has more than one active outlet (multi-outlet stores must decide the split themselves), when the wp_oliver_outlet_stock table already has any rows, or when legacy _oliver_stock_{outlet_id} postmeta exists. The seeder will never overwrite a value the merchant has typed in.
  • Self-heal for existing installs: the same routine runs from Activator::maybe_upgrade() after the outlet has been verified, so a merchant who upgraded from 4.5.5 (or earlier) without ever pairing a device picks up the mirror automatically on the next admin page load.
  • Eight new PHPUnit cases in tests/test-outlet-stock-seed.php cover the mirror path (simple products, variations, negative stock, empty catalog) and every guard branch, plus a re-run idempotency check.

4.5.5 – 2026-05-20

  • Security: removed wp_set_current_user( $customer_id ) from Coupon_Rest::init_cart_context() (POST /oliver-pos/v1/coupons/validate). The endpoint no longer impersonates the request’s customer_id while running the coupon validation pipeline, closing an authorization-bypass primitive flagged by the WordPress.org plugin review team. WC()->customer = new WC_Customer( $customer_id ) is still set, so per-user usage limits, customer_email restrictions, billing address, and tax location continue to evaluate against the right customer; role / capability-restricted coupons (e.g. “wholesale-only”) will now correctly require the customer’s own session.
  • Security: removed wp_set_current_user( $order->get_customer_id() ) from POS_Payment_Page::set_customer_context() on the POS pay-for-order page (?oliver_pos_pay=1&...&key=ORDER_KEY) as the same defensive sweep. WC()->customer is still scoped to the order’s customer so billing and tax context are unchanged.
  • New oliver_pos_payment_customer_id filter and POS_Payment_Page::resolve_payment_customer_id() static helper give third-party balance-based gateways (store credit, gift card, wallet) a stable hook for resolving the in-flight POS customer without calling get_current_user_id(). See docs/balance-gateway-migration.md in the development repository for the worked migration example and POS-app test checklist.
  • The only remaining wp_set_current_user() call sites in the codebase are now inside tests/ (PHPUnit auth setup) — nothing in shipping code.

4.5.4 – 2026-05-20

  • WordPress.org submission pass — privacy, security, and Plugin Check cleanup before the directory listing goes live.
  • Privacy / “phone home” hardening (Plugin Directory guideline 7): the silent current_screen auto-register on the Billing and Oliver Pay admin pages is gone. Opening either screen on a fresh install now makes ZERO outbound calls to phoenix.oliverpos.com; the merchant has to click the new “Create your free Oliver POS account” CTA on the Billing screen (or the existing “Connect with Stripe” CTA on the Oliver Pay screen) for the site URL + admin email to be transmitted, and the Billing CTA lists exactly what gets sent before the click.
  • Removed the Plan_Badge live-Phoenix injection — tier badges on the Dashboard / Settings / Reports / Staff / Outlets / Receipts admin pages now read the persisted oliver_pos_subscription_plan option only and never trigger a Phoenix call. The persisted option is still refreshed by the Billing screen on every successful read.
  • Security: GET /oliver-pos/v1/staff now omits the legacy pin_hash field by default (the oliver_pos_emit_pin_hash option flips to 0). The Deprecation / Sunset headers stay; the field is removed entirely in 4.6.0. Site owners running an older paired Oliver POS app build that hasn’t been updated yet can re-enable it temporarily with wp option update oliver_pos_emit_pin_hash 1.
  • Security: receipt templates posted to oliver_pos_save_template are now fully sanitized per-field in Receipt_Templates::sanitize_template() — section type, alignment, paper width, every section-config scalar, and the styling block — before being persisted to wp_options. Unknown section types and non-scalar config values are dropped.
  • Plugin Check / PCP cleanups: wp_unslash() added around $_POST integers in product-fields meta saves, admin image preview now builds the <img> via DOM rather than HTML string concatenation, and the receipt-config / receipt-template AJAX handlers wp_unslash the $_POST fallback path.
  • Translation template regenerated against the 4.5.3 plugin-name / description rebrand; SVN /assets/ screenshot set trimmed to match the 8 captions in the readme (wp.org displays at most 10).
  • External-services disclosure refreshed to reflect the explicit-CTA flow and to list the previously-undocumented /api/subscriptions/pricing-table-config and /api/subscriptions/plans endpoints.
  • Verified against WordPress 7.0 (released May 20, 2026). No blocks, no iframed-editor surfaces, no AI Client / Connectors / Abilities API consumers in the plugin, and Requires PHP: 8.1 is already above WP 7.0’s new floor (7.4). Tested up to: 7.0 in readme.txt.
  • No app-team contract changes other than the pin_hash default flip; see docs/handover-2026-05-staff-pin-online-verify.md for the rollout plan.

4.5.3 – 2026-05-19

  • Readme / SEO refresh — title, short description, plugin-header description and tags realigned with the new oliverpos.com positioning (iPhone, iPad, Android, Tap to Pay, Stripe Terminal). Swapped the ipad tag for the higher-traffic pos slug; iPad coverage stays in the title and short description.
  • Two new readme sections — “Real-Time Sync Across Every Device” and “Works With the WooCommerce Plugins You Already Run” (named compatibility for Subscriptions, Memberships, Bookings, Product Bundles, Points & Rewards, Gift Cards and WooPayments).
  • Devices section reworked to lead with native iPhone / iPad / Android apps and Tap to Pay; web register for Mac / PC / Chromebook called out explicitly.
  • Two new FAQs covering Tap to Pay on iPhone / Android (no extra reader required) and compatibility with the most-used WooCommerce extensions.
  • Rewrote all eight screenshot captions for keyword density and image-search clarity. No code changes in this release.

4.5.2 – 2026-05-19

  • WordPress.org pre-submission pass — bundles unminified upstream sources for the vendored Chart.js / qrcode-generator builds, ships the full GPL-2.0 license text, regenerates the translation template, and refreshes the readme for the 6.9 release window.
  • External-service disclosure for js.stripe.com/v3/pricing-table.js added, and the script is now enqueued from PHP on the Billing admin screen instead of being injected at runtime by JavaScript.
  • Security hardening: POST /stations/{id}/activate rejects station-key requests whose {id} does not match the authenticating key’s bound station (returns 403 oliver_pos_station_mismatch).
  • PIN-hash deprecation begins: GET /staff adds a pin_hash_deprecated: true marker plus Deprecation / Warning response headers. A new oliver_pos_emit_pin_hash option (default true) lets sites flip to the v4.6 behaviour early, in which case the per-row pin_hash field is omitted entirely.
  • New transient-backed rate limiter on POST /bootstrap, GET /bootstrap/preview, POST /staff/verify-pin, and POST /staff/me/pin (5 failures per 15 minutes per IP+user). Throttled requests return 429 oliver_pos_rate_limited with a Retry-After header.
  • HPOS-aware money-cents backfill — the migration now finds POS orders regardless of whether WooCommerce is using HPOS, fixing a stuck oliver_pos_money_cents_migrated flag on HPOS-only stores.
  • Dashboard “View All” link routes to admin.php?page=wc-orders when HPOS is active instead of the legacy edit.php?post_type=shop_order URL (which is empty under HPOS).
  • Removed two unconditional console.error calls from the Billing admin JS; diagnostics now gate behind ?oliver_debug=1.

4.5.1 – 2026-05-18

  • Iteration on the 4.5.0 staging readiness — refinements to Pay_API_Client (auth retry path), billing dashboard JS/CSS polish, Billing_Service rework, Activator cleanup, and a full rewrite of the Billing service unit-test suite.

4.5.0 – 2026-05-18

  • Phoenix staging readiness — Oliver Pay admin now shows an env pill (yellow “Phoenix: STAGING (test mode)” on staging, neutral on production) and a “Test connection” button that round-trips through /api/subscriptions/plans against the active Phoenix environment. Staging mode is enabled by adding define( 'PHOENIX_ENV', 'staging' ) and define( 'PHOENIX_STAGING_BYPASS_TOKEN', '...' ) to wp-config.php; production is the default.
  • New dev/staging-smoke.php script (wp eval-file) runs 13 assertions end-to-end against staging Phoenix including Connect account creation, Terminal location sync, and the §9.11 cross-env credential isolation check.

4.4.2 – 2026-05-16

  • Maintenance redeploy — re-runs the version-aware upgrade routine and refreshes plugin files on disk

4.4.1 – 2026-05-15

  • Maintenance redeploy — picks up the latest plugin name / description refresh used in the WordPress.org listing alongside the 4.4.0 billing dashboard overhaul.

4.4.0 – 2026-05-15

  • Billing dashboard overhaul — full plan cards with tier accents, dedicated lifetime card, non-blocking status banners for past_due / canceled / unpaid, feature chips, and an embedded Phoenix-hosted pricing table section.
  • New helpers in Billing_Admin for plan/tier/state resolution, currency-aware price formatting, billing-period suffixes, and feature-chip humanisation.
  • Billing_Service and Pay_API_Client refinements; Phoenix call retry path tightened.
  • Activator::maybe_upgrade() extended for the new billing data shape.
  • Order feed and sync generator hardening; uninstall cleanup expanded.
  • Updated meta-endpoint test coverage.

4.3.0 – 2026-05-14

  • New GET /wp-json/oliver-pos/v1/bootstrap/preview and POST /wp-json/oliver-pos/v1/bootstrap REST endpoints power the “Connect with site URL” reverse-pairing flow shipped in the Oliver POS app. The merchant types only their WordPress URL on the device, approves a one-page wp-admin Application Password prompt, and the app self-configures.
  • Both routes use HTTP Basic Auth (Application Password preferred, real WP password as fallback) and require manage_woocommerce. The mutating POST /bootstrap mints a WooCommerce REST API key, optionally creates a new outlet, registers a station bound to the device, and returns a store_connection payload.
  • Bootstrap is fully idempotent on (user_id, device_uuid) — a re-run after a mid-pair crash returns the same key / secret instead of orphaning a duplicate WooCommerce API key.
  • Stations table gains device_uuid, platform, user_id, and consumer_key columns plus a UNIQUE KEY (user_id, device_uuid) for idempotency lookups.
  • One-shot wp-admin success notice is shown to the bootstrapping user on the next admin page load, then auto-clears.
  • Readme rewrite — title, tags, short description and body all refreshed; every external link points directly at oliverpos.com (no redirect shorteners); new Privacy & Security section added.

4.2.0 – 2026-05-14

  • Billing admin rewrite — replaced the legacy 3-state Billing page with a single Phoenix-driven dashboard that shows the current plan badge, a “Manage Subscription” button (Stripe Customer Portal) and a “View Plans” button (Phoenix-hosted Stripe pricing table). Lifetime customers see a “Lifetime” tag and the View Plans button is hidden.
  • New WP REST routes under /wp-json/oliver-pos/v1/billing/ (current, manage-link, pricing-link) proxy Phoenix from the server. The Phoenix API key and JWT never leave the server.
  • Five-minute transient cache on /billing/current. The cache is invalidated automatically when the merchant returns from the Stripe portal so the badge picks up the new plan immediately.
  • New status banner on the dashboard for past_due / canceled / unpaid subscriptions. Non-blocking.
  • Removed the legacy wp_ajax_oliver_pos_billing_* AJAX handlers. The Stripe Pricing Table now lives on Phoenix.

4.1.0 – 2026-05-14

  • Added GET /wp-json/oliver-pos/v1/meta REST endpoint for the Oliver POS app’s tax / cash / gateway configuration. Replaces the static wp-content/uploads/oliver-pos/sync/meta.json file.
  • Tax rate is now serialised as a 4-decimal string (e.g. "15.0000").
  • Tax classes with no resolved rates for an outlet are omitted from outlet_rates instead of being emitted as empty arrays.
  • New tax.cart_discount_taxes_subtotal field mirrors prices_include_tax so the device can apply the correct cart-level discount semantics.
  • The cached meta payload now refreshes synchronously when a WC tax rate, outlet address, or woocommerce_calc_taxes toggle changes.
