Turn WooCommerce products and carts into prefilled WhatsApp order messages without accounts, tracking, or customer-data storage.

== Description ==

Aetos Quick Order Chat adds a focused conversational-order path to WooCommerce.

Shoppers can open a prefilled WhatsApp message from a product or their current cart. The message is built locally from visible catalog data. Nothing is sent anywhere until the shopper explicitly clicks the button.

Main features:

* Product messages with live quantity and selected variation details.
* Cart messages with product names and quantities.
* Optional SKU, visible price/total, and product/cart links.
* Classic WooCommerce cart and WooCommerce Cart Block output.
* A shortcode for deliberate custom placement.
* Arabic-ready, translation-ready settings and messages.
* No SaaS account, API key, telemetry, click tracking, or lead database.

The shortcode is `[aetos_quick_order_chat]`. Its `context` attribute accepts `auto`, `product`, or `cart`. A deliberate product can be selected with `product_id`, for example `[aetos_quick_order_chat context="product" product_id="123"]`.

This plugin is not affiliated with, associated with, authorized by, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with WhatsApp, Meta, or WooCommerce.

== Installation ==

1. Install and activate WooCommerce.
2. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/aetos-quick-order-chat/`, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen.
3. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen.
4. Go to Settings > Aetos Quick Order Chat.
5. Enter the WhatsApp destination number in international format, including the country code.
6. Review the product/cart and message-content settings, then test a product and cart page.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this create WooCommerce orders? =

No. It prepares a message and opens WhatsApp after the shopper clicks. It does not replace checkout or create an order in WooCommerce.

= Does the plugin collect leads or customer details? =

No. It stores only the site owner's plugin settings. It does not collect names, phone numbers, emails, addresses, payment details, cookies, IP addresses, or click analytics.

= What information can be included in a message? =

Product/cart names and quantities are included. The site owner can also include SKU, visible price or cart totals, and product/cart links. Customer and historical order data are never included.

= Does it work with variable products? =

Yes. On a product page, selected variation labels and the current quantity are added in the shopper's browser immediately before the link opens.

= Does it support the WooCommerce Cart Block? =

Yes. Version 1.0.0 appends one server-rendered button after the Cart Block and also supports the classic cart hook.

= Can I place the button myself? =

Yes. Use `[aetos_quick_order_chat]`. The shortcode fails closed when its requested product or cart context is unavailable.

= Why is no button visible after activation? =

The plugin intentionally displays nothing until a valid international destination number containing 7 to 15 digits is saved.

== Privacy ==

The plugin stores one settings option owned by the site. It does not create a lead log, set cookies, fingerprint visitors, or make background requests.

When a shopper explicitly clicks an order-chat button, their browser opens a `wa.me` URL. The prefilled text may contain the current product/cart names, quantities, and whichever SKU, price, and link fields the site owner enabled. It does not contain customer identity, billing, shipping, payment, cookie, IP, or historical-order data.

== External services ==

This plugin uses WhatsApp's `wa.me` link service only after a shopper explicitly clicks a visible button. No request is made to WhatsApp during page load, plugin activation, settings, or message rendering.

Data sent after the click:

* The site owner's configured WhatsApp destination number.
* The visible prefilled product or cart message described in the Privacy section.

WhatsApp processes the resulting request under its own terms and privacy policy:

* Terms of Service: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/terms-of-service
* Privacy Policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/privacy-policy

== Screenshots ==

1. Settings page with destination, message, placement, and privacy controls.
2. Product page with a clear order-chat button below the add-to-cart form.
3. Cart Block with a prefilled order-chat action and no customer-data collection.
