Build a WooCommerce plugin — free blueprint preview
WooCommerce plugins run as PHP packages inside WordPress, integrate via WP hooks, and submit through wp.org Plugin Directory SVN. Plan the plugin shape, REST endpoints, and review risks before the build.

Free blueprint = concept, surfaces, scopes, review risks, mock screens, credit/time estimate. Code generation requires an account + credits.
Sample blueprint
Loyalty Lift
Points-based loyalty program with tiered rewards, a customer-account hub, and an admin dashboard for setting earn/burn rules.
Recommended platform
Shopify's customer-account UI extension targets + Admin API give you the full earn-and-redeem loop without a dedicated frontend. Storefront blocks render cleanly inside both Online Store 2.0 themes and Hydrogen.
- Also viable on BigCommerce: Works well if your merchants are mid-market US retailers; uses the Storefront API + customer-impersonation to render the points balance.
- Also viable on WooCommerce: Best fit if your audience runs WordPress already. The same earn/burn rules become a WP plugin with REST API endpoints.
Surfaces
Required scopes
read_customersLook up the shopper's points balance + tier on every page load.write_customersStamp earned points + tier metafields on the customer record.read_ordersEarn rules trigger on order paid; need order-line history.write_discountsIssue per-customer discount codes when a reward is redeemed.
This is a sample. Run the generator above for your own blueprint.
Generate this appWhat this app typically needs
A starting checklist — the live blueprint above tunes these to your exact prompt.
- PHP plugin shell with wp.org-compliant header + readme.txt
- WP capability strings (manage_options, edit_shop_orders, etc.)
- Action / filter hook integrations for WooCommerce events
- Custom REST API endpoints if your plugin needs a JSON surface
- Admin settings page (with sane defaults — wp.org review checks UX)
- wp.org SVN submission flow (manual companion shipped in Phase 5.C)
FAQ
- Does AppApprove support WooCommerce / WordPress?
- Yes — WooCommerce is a first-class platform. The blueprint generator picks WooCommerce when the prompt mentions WordPress, self-hosting, or open-source preferences.
- How long does wp.org review take?
- wp.org plugin review typically takes 2-4 review rounds with the wp.org review team. The estimator's Woo platform multiplier (1.3×) accounts for that, and the cost-driver list calls it out explicitly.
- Can AppApprove auto-push to wp.org SVN?
- Phase 5 Sprint E shipped optional auto-push for Pro+ tier — opt-in per project. Free / Starter use the manual SVN companion (which is the complete solution where no API exists).
