Simply Buy

SimplyBuy is a lightweight WordPress plugin that lets you create simple online shop-style requests or price calculations — completely without WooCommerce, without a shopping cart, and without payment processing. Originally developed as a bulky-waste calculator for clearance companies, SimplyBuy works for any service provider who needs a simple eCommerce-like solution without the complexity of a traditional WordPress online shop plugin. Because SimplyBuy avoids unnecessary features found in typical WordPress shop plugins, it is:

• Easy to set up
• Lean in code
• Ready to use immediately
• Does not store customer data
• Does not require shipping rules
• Free of inventory management

SimplyBuy can be used as a WordPress plugin shop-free alternative for services — perfect for anyone needing shop-style functionality without WooCommerce and without a shopping cart.

1.2.9

• Fix: Time slot no longer disappears from the Zeit dropdown when the checkout form is submitted with other required fields missing. The "morning" / "afternoon" option cleanup now runs only when the form is valid and about to re-fetch the shift, not before the missing-fields return path (regression from 1.2.6 where the placeholder cleanup was too aggressive).

1.2.8

• Fix: "Test connection" button on the Calendar settings tab now auto-saves the form before running the API test. Previously, changing the service-account JSON or calendar ID and clicking the button tested the old saved values instead of what was on screen (same fix pattern as the "Test email" button on the Review Requests tab).

1.2.7

• Fix: "Mindestabnehmerwert" renamed to "Mindestabholpreis" in German translations (both du-form and Sie-form)
• Fix: Minimum-pickup help line is now hidden on the checkout when the minimum value is empty or 0 (no more "... is 0€" message)
• Improved: Earliest Booking Offset dropdown no longer shows a disabled "Select days" placeholder — first option is now directly "1 day"

1.2.6

• Fix: Time slot picker — after selecting a date, the proposed slot is now actually selected in the DOM. Previously the UI displayed the slot but the submit handler still saw the placeholder and rejected the booking with "please choose a time slot"

1.2.5

• Fix: Booking emails and Google Calendar events now correctly show the full product list + difficulty surcharges + final total (regression introduced by 1.2.3 server-side price recalculation)
• Fix (frontend): Checkout JS now sends product IDs, walkway numeric value and floor numeric value to the server alongside the display labels, so server-side price calculation has the data it needs

1.2.4

• Added: Google Calendar "Test connection" button in the Calendar settings tab — read-only diagnostic (calendars.get API call), never creates events. Shows specific errors for empty JSON, invalid JSON, 401 (unauthorized), 403 (forbidden), 404 (calendar not found)

1.2.3

• Security fix: Checkout total is now recomputed server-side from real product meta prices + finance settings. Previously the POSTed total was trusted verbatim, allowing a hostile client to submit a manipulated price
• Fix: sbuy_install_starter_products() is now idempotent — skips when starter products already exist (previously yielded 434, 651, … duplicates on repeated calls)
• Added: Self-healing DB tables — if sbuy_booking / sbuy_logs tables are missing (e.g. after an uninstall + manual reinstall), they are recreated on plugins_loaded via dbDelta

1.2.2

• Fix: Removed the theme's default 1px box-shadow under the cart search pill (the faint grey line under the orange border)

1.2.1

• Fix: Checkout button label now consistently reads "Weiter zur Kasse" / "Go to checkout" (was flipping to "Kasse" after JS cart updates because the localize string used the old msgid)

1.2.0

• Improved: Cart search field made wider on desktop (min-width 720px) — previously squeezed to ~270px on themes with an empty sidebar
• Improved: Removed stray separator lines around the cart search field and the selected-items heading
• Improved: Font Awesome dependency removed — the three icons in use (info, arrows-left, paper-plane) now render as inline SVG. Saves ~1 MB webfonts + 74 KB CSS on every checkout page
• Renamed: "Objekt" → "Gegenstand" throughout the German UI; "Kasse" button label → "Weiter zur Kasse"; cart heading "Gegenstände" → "Ausgewählte Gegenstände"

1.1.3

• Fix: Cart search field redesign — orange border + magnifier button (previously landed in 1.1.2 dev).
• Added: Self-healing plugin pages. If Cart / Checkout / Thank-you pages are deleted in WP admin, the plugin recreates them on the next request (also triggers on plugin re-activation).

1.1.2

• Fix: Checkout now requires a time slot (client + server + calendar hook skip on empty shift)
• Version bump acts as cache-buster — clients and CDNs reload all plugin assets.

1.1.1

• Release bundles accumulated post-1.1.0 fixes (search field CSS, checkout scroll-to-error, submit-button href, plain-text review email, multisite uninstall, Google Calendar failure alert, etc.)
• Version bump acts as cache-buster — clients and CDNs reload all plugin assets.

1.1.0

• Fix: load_plugin_textdomain added — plugin now loads translations correctly
• Fix: Uninstall cleanup — removes database tables, options and plugin pages on uninstall
• Fix: Email validation added to checkout submission
• Fix: Rate limiting added to checkout (max 1 request per minute per IP)
• Fix: Removed non-functional unset($_COOKIE) call on deactivation
• Fix: Search now hides unused/deleted tags (hide_empty)
• Added: Info notice in Pages tab about auto-created pages
• Added: Starter Products page with 217 ready-to-use products (install/remove)
• Added: Documentation link in Calendar tab
• Added: Custom notification email and reply-to email in Email settings
• Added: Google Calendar location field (address/zip)
• Added: Extended debug logging (browser, calendar errors, price calculation)
• Improved: Branding tab redesign with feature preview and clearer value proposition
• Added: Bulk block days in bookings calendar (all Sundays, Mondays etc.)
• Added: Bulk price adjustment for all products with preview
• Added: Review request emails — event-based with configurable delay
• Improvement: Bulk calendar blocking, bulk price adjustment and review requests are now Pro-only features
• Fix: Minimum pickup price shown as disabled field instead of hidden when no Pro access
• Fix: Branding disable button now visible (greyed out) during cooldown period
• Improved: Bulk calendar day blocking redesigned as dropdown + button
• Added: Bulk vs manual booking distinction (is_bulk flag) — bulk remove only removes bulk blocks
• Added: Price Adjustment as separate menu item
• Added: Sidebar tip in Pages tab
• Improved: Search field wider border and better placeholder visibility
• Fix: Starter products — literal "\n" sequences are now converted to real line breaks on import; a one-time "Repair" button fixes posts imported with earlier versions
• Changed: Plugin author updated to ProfitClicker (https://profitclicker.com/)
• Added: Bulk price adjustment supports a fixed amount (€) in addition to percentage
• Fix: Uninstall now removes branding cooldown/dismiss flags, review request settings, legacy bulk-blocked-dates option, rate-limit transients and the review-email cron schedule
• Improved: Branding tab feature box renamed to "All Pro features — unlock for free" and lists all 5 unlocked features
• Improved: Starter product newline repair now runs silently on plugin update (no longer a manual button)
• Fix: Multisite — uninstall now iterates every site and removes its options, pages, tables, transients and cron events (role is removed once, globally); activation saves the branding backlink token per site instead of overwriting the main blog
