Bindl – Photo Book Editor for WooCommerce

Description

Bindl adds a photo book editor to your WooCommerce store. A shopper opens a book
product, lays out their pages, and orders through your normal checkout. You
receive the order in WooCommerce, with a print-ready PDF attached to it.

Everything that touches money stays where it already is. The order is a
WooCommerce order, the payment goes through your own gateway, and the customer
never leaves your brand.

What the plugin does

• Connects your store to Bindl from your WordPress admin, with no redirect.
• Puts the editor button on your book products, in classic themes, block themes,
  or wherever you place the shortcode.
• Opens the editor over your product page rather than sending the shopper away,
  so your header, your cart and your brand stay on screen. One click closes it.
• Shows a book’s price as a starting price, because a book has no final price
  until it is configured.
• Registers the two order notifications Bindl needs, checks them daily, and
  repairs them by itself when WooCommerce turns them off.

What you need

A Bindl account, and a store served over https. Book products appear in your
catalogue once your Bindl shop syncs them; this plugin does not create products.

External services

This plugin connects to the Bindl API at https://api.bindl.app to pair your
store, to read the state of the connection, and to open your Bindl dashboard.

What is sent, and when

• When you press Connect: your site address, the WooCommerce API key the plugin
  just created for Bindl, a secret used to sign order notifications, and the
  plugin version. This is what lets Bindl read your products and receive your
  orders.
• When the plugin page is opened, once a day, and when you press Repair: the
  connection’s own token, so Bindl can answer with the state of that connection.
• When you press Open my Bindl dashboard: the connection’s token, in exchange
  for a short-lived sign-in link.

No customer data, order content or personal data is sent by this plugin. Order
content reaches Bindl through the WooCommerce order notifications you approve at
connection time.

Your customers load the book editor from bindl.app when they click the button on
a book product, either over your page or in place of it. Bindl only allows that
frame on the storefront addresses your store registered when you connected it.
