SuperPlus - Multi-Step Checkout for WooCommerce — no bloat, no conflicts. Only the features you enable are loaded.

== Description ==

**SuperPlus - Multi-Step Checkout for WooCommerce** is a modular WooCommerce plugin designed for developers
and agencies that want clean, targeted improvements — without
installing bloated all-in-one solutions.

Other plugins:
❌ Most checkout plugins load everything — even features you never use.
❌ Unused scripts and styles slow down your store on every page.
❌ Conflicts with your theme or other plugins break the checkout.

SuperPlus:
✅ SuperPlus loads only the modules you enable — nothing more.
✅ Zero performance impact from inactive features.
✅ Clean, conflict-free checkout your customers will actually complete.

### ⚠️ The problem with most WooCommerce checkout plugins

Most checkout plugins load all their code on every page, regardless
of what you actually use. Scripts, styles, and templates running in
the background — even for features you never enabled.

SuperPlus works differently.

### 🧩 A lightweight modular system

From the **Modules Manager**, you enable only the features your store
needs. Everything else stays completely inactive — no impact on
performance, no risk of conflicts with your theme or other plugins.

This makes SuperPlus ideal for agencies managing multiple WooCommerce
stores: install once, configure per project, keep full control.

### 🛒 Free module: Multi-Step Checkout

Transform the standard WooCommerce checkout into a clean
**step-by-step checkout flow** that guides customers through the
purchase process.

**📐 Two layouts:**
* **Minimal step-by-step** — clean, distraction-free checkout
* **WooCommerce step-by-step** — familiar WooCommerce structure
with step navigation

**🎨 Three themes, with a live preview:**
* No theme — unstyled, fully compatible with your existing CSS
* Light — clean light styling out of the box
* Dark — dark mode ready

Pick a **primary colour** for buttons and other interactive elements,
and watch the built-in preview update instantly as you change the
layout, theme or colour — no need to open the real checkout to see
your changes.

**✏️ Additional CSS field** — inject your own overrides without
touching plugin files. Perfect for agencies adapting SuperPlus
to client themes.

**🛡️ Trust & security** — build customer confidence at checkout:
* **Payment badges** — show the logos of the payment methods you accept, with an optional label above them (upload your own images, no third-party connection needed)
* **Security message** — a short "Secure, encrypted payment" note next to the checkout button

### 🆓 Free vs 🔒 Pro

**Free — included:**
* **Optimized Checkout**: A multi-step checkout flow that reduces cart abandonment and guides customers to purchase.
* **Trust & Security**: Payment method badges and a security reassurance message, built into the checkout.

**Pro — advanced modules:**
* **Smart Catalog Search**: Instant product search with filters.
* **Side Cart**: A slide-out cart so customers can review and edit without leaving the page.
* **Mobile Menu**: Fast, branded mobile navigation adapted to your store design.
* **Multiple Addresses**: Registered customers save multiple addresses and pick the right one for each order.
* **Recommended Badge**: Automatically badge bestsellers, new arrivals, and recommended products in the catalog.
* **Hotspot**: Turn product images into interactive, clickable catalogs.
* **Returns**: A complete return request and approval workflow for your customers.
* **Abandoned Cart**: Recover lost sales with automatic, trackable recovery emails.
* **Affiliates**: A full affiliate program integrated into My Account.
* **Ecommerce Analytics**: Revenue, best sellers, and order status at a glance.
* **Web Analytics**: Anonymous visitor behaviour — page views, searches, add-to-carts, and more.
* **FAQs**: An interactive accordion FAQ section.
* **WooCommerce Customizer**: Rebrand the login, registration, and My Account pages to match your store.

Each Pro module is independent. Buy only what your store needs.

### 🔌 Compatibility

SuperPlus uses standard WooCommerce hooks and templates, making it
compatible with any well-coded WordPress theme out of the box.

**✅ Tested and compatible with:**
* Any theme that follows WooCommerce standards
* WooCommerce Payments

**⚠️ Potential conflicts:**
* Plugins that replace WooCommerce checkout templates
(Elementor Pro checkout, FunnelKit, Fluid Checkout).
If you use one of these, disable the SuperPlus Checkout module
to avoid conflicts.

### 🚀 Built to grow

SuperPlus is built around a modular architecture designed to expand.
New modules will extend the plugin without adding unnecessary weight
to stores that don't need them.

* 🏢 **Agencies** managing WooCommerce stores that need clean,
conflict-free solutions

1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install the ZIP via **Plugins > Add New**.
2. Activate **SuperPlus for Woocommerce** from **Plugins**.

2. Go to **SuperPlus > Checkout** (its own submenu, under the main **SuperPlus** menu item).
3. In the **Layout** and **Appearance & Colors** sections, choose:

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do I need WooCommerce? =
Yes. SuperPlus is designed for WooCommerce, and the checkout module depends on it.

= Can I disable the checkout module? =
Yes. In **SuperPlus > Modules** you can disable the module. When disabled, it stops loading module hooks, assets, and templates.

= Can it conflict with other checkout plugins? =
If another plugin also replaces checkout templates/structure, there may be incompatibilities. In that case, try disabling the SuperPlus module or keep only one checkout customization system active.

= What does the “Additional CSS” field do? =
It lets you add your own CSS without editing the plugin. It’s added at the end of the module CSS to make visual overrides easier.

= Can I show my own payment method logos instead of generic ones? =
Yes. The Trust badges section lets you upload your own images (for example, Visa, Mastercard, PayPal) via the WordPress media library — no third-party connection needed.
