Native WooCommerce integration, with no lock-in
What native actually means
The real test is what happens when you switch it off.
Standard tables
Products are real WooCommerce products, not copies kept somewhere else. Every other plugin that reads your catalog sees the same data.
Built on hooks
PABAA extends checkout and orders through the hooks WooCommerce documents. That is the standard way plugins add features to a store.
Safe to switch off
Switch PABAA off and nothing in your catalog moves. Your products, your orders and your content all stay exactly where they were.
No theme changes
No template overrides are needed. PABAA works with your current theme, custom ones included, and leaves its files and layout alone.
Exports keep working
Exports, accounting connectors and reports keep working as before. Nothing is stored in a shape that only PABAA can understand.
Current versions supported
PABAA supports the current WooCommerce release and one major version back. So a store that is one version behind is still covered.
How the WooCommerce integration works
PABAA reads and writes standard WooCommerce data. Products are WooCommerce products, orders are WooCommerce orders, and no bridge plugin sits between them. If you are new to it, here is an overview of the WooCommerce platform.
New features join the checkout and orders through documented hooks. No template overrides are needed, so your theme stays as it is.
What happens when you switch it off
This is the real test of a native integration. Switch PABAA off, and your products, orders and content stay where they were. There is nothing to migrate back and nothing to undo.
No lock-in
Nothing is stored in a private format. So your exports, accounting connectors and reporting tools keep working exactly as before. If you change your mind later, your store is still fully yours.
Supported versions
PABAA supports the current WooCommerce release and one major version back. For the daily store work on top of it, see the WooCommerce store tools.
Working with your other plugins
Because the WooCommerce integration uses real WooCommerce products, every other plugin that reads your catalog sees the same data. Your exports, your accounting connectors and your reports read the same tables they read before you added PABAA.
New features join the checkout and the orders through the hooks WooCommerce documents, the standard way plugins add features to a store. That is why no template overrides are needed, and your current theme keeps its files and layout.
If you ever switch PABAA off, the store keeps running as a normal WooCommerce store. Products, orders and content stay where they were, so there is nothing to migrate back and nothing to undo.
