Install and use Commerce Pro

1Before you start

Commerce Pro comes as two separate extensions, one per platform. Each works on its own: you need neither both nor Inklura Sync. Install the one for your shop.

Before enabling cart rules, check how they behave with your theme, your checkout and any multicurrency or express payment extension: these may need adjustments.

2Choose your edition

The same archive serves all three editions: the licence key unlocks the modules. A paid licence covers one shop, WooCommerce or PrestaShop.

Feature details are on the Commerce Pro page, and the offer rules in the specific terms.

3Get the archives and the key

The archives are a free download, no account needed, in the Downloads section of the Commerce Pro page. They are also in your customer area:

• inklura-commerce-pro-0.7.5.zip for WordPress (WooCommerce);
• inkluracommercepro-0.7.5.zip for PrestaShop.

For Starter or Premium, the licence key (format WD29-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) appears in your customer area once payment is confirmed. With Sync Pro, use your Sync licence key. Do not unzip or rename the archives.

4Install on WooCommerce

1. In the WordPress admin, open Plugins›Add New Plugin and click Upload Plugin.
2. Choose inklura-commerce-pro-0.7.5.zip, click Install Now, then Activate Plugin. WooCommerce must be active.

3. Open WooCommerce›Commerce Pro. The page has five tabs: Modules, Stocks à surveiller (stock to watch), Commandes à suivre (orders to follow up), Licence and À propos (about).

5Install on PrestaShop

1. In the back office, open Modules›Module Manager and click Upload a module at the top right.
2. Drop inkluracommercepro-0.7.5.zip into the window, or click "select file". PrestaShop installs the module straight away.

3. Click Configure. Later, you will find the module as Inklura Commerce Pro in the Module Manager. The configuration page has the same tabs as on WooCommerce.

6Enter the licence key

This step only applies to Starter and Premium: the free edition works without a key.

1. Open the Licence tab.
2. Paste the key into the field, then click Activer la clé (activate key).
3. The tab shows the result at once: Édition effective (effective edition), Origine (Licence Commerce Pro or Inclus avec Inklura Sync Pro, included with Sync Pro), dates of the last and next check, and how long the local entitlement is valid.

On PrestaShop the tab is the same, with a reminder of the scheduled task needed for automatic renewal (step 14).

The licence is checked once a day. Each successful check renews a signed entitlement valid for up to 14 days and never beyond the paid period, so a brief licence server outage disables nothing. Vérifier maintenant (check now) forces a check, for example after a renewal. No licence request is made while customers browse or check out.

7Enable modules

The Modules tab lists the nineteen features with their category, required edition and status. For each one:

1. Click Configurer (configure) to open its settings, then Enregistrer les réglages (save settings).
2. Tick Activer ce module (enable this module) in its settings, or use the Activer button in the list. Désactiver (disable) keeps the settings.

A module above your edition cannot be enabled. If your licence expires or moves to a lower edition, the affected modules stop but their settings stay saved. Two modules need some preparation: Règles ciblées and Tarifs dégressifs require at least one active rule, and Commandes à suivre at least one monitored status.

8Badges, messages and discounts

Badges produits (product badges)

The sale badge (free) appears on products that are actually on sale, with the text of your choice (Texte du badge promotion, “En promotion” by default). From Starter, the new-product badge marks products published within Nouveauté pendant (jours), 30 days by default. Badges use the locations your theme provides: some themes move them.

Messages de stock (stock messages)

Shows a message on the product page when tracked stock falls to the chosen threshold (Afficher à partir de ce stock ou moins, 5 by default). The text accepts the {stock} variable: “Plus que {stock} en stock.”. No message appears when stock is not tracked or backorders are allowed: never a made-up quantity.

Tarifs dégressifs (quantity discounts, Premium)

A percentage discount applies in the cart when the quantity of a single product or variation line reaches a tier. For example, 5% from 3 units and 10% from 6: create two rules on the same products. The best discount wins, with no stacking between rules.

1. Under Paliers de remise (discount tiers), click Ajouter une règle (add a rule) and name it.
2. Choose the Cible (target: Produits or Catégories) and search targets by name, reference or ID.
3. Enter À partir de cette quantité sur la ligne (starting quantity, at least 2) and the Remise (%), 90% at most.
4. Open Tester cette règle (test this rule) to check the resulting price: the test creates no order.
5. Tick Activer cette règle lorsque le module est actif, save, then enable the module. Ten rules at most.

Products already on sale are not discounted, and neither is shipping. On PrestaShop, specific prices, group reductions, customised products and products with ecotax are also excluded; on WooCommerce, a line whose price was already changed by another extension is left as is. Coupon codes keep their own conditions.

9Cart rules

• Minimum de commande (minimum order, Starter): Montant minimum HT, the minimum product amount excluding tax, before cart discounts and without shipping, in the shop's base currency (PrestaShop converts it to the cart currency). Below this amount, customers see what is missing and cannot place the order.
• Quantités du panier (cart quantities, Starter): Nombre minimum d'articles (minimum items), Nombre maximum (0 = no limit) and Commander par multiples de (order in multiples of), counted across the whole cart, all lines and variations together.
• Règles ciblées (targeted rules, Premium): the same limits, plus a Minimum HT, applied only to the chosen products or categories. Active rules add up. As with quantity discounts, each rule can be tested before saving.

These rules cover WooCommerce's classic and block-based carts and PrestaShop's native checkout. Place a test order after each change.

10Stock and order follow-up

Two read-only reports, in the tabs of the same name. They show 50 rows per page and link to the native record for any change.

• Stocks à surveiller (stock to watch, Starter): products and variations whose tracked stock is at or below the Seuil du tableau de surveillance (report threshold, 5 by default). The À réapprovisionner column gives the gap to the Stock cible (target stock, 20 by default), ignoring incoming deliveries. Search by name, reference or ID; out-of-stock filter.
• Commandes à suivre (orders to follow up, Starter): orders created at least Ancienneté minimum (heures) ago, 24 hours by default, in the Statuts à surveiller you choose.
• Exports CSV (Premium): adds Exporter cette page en CSV below both reports. The export covers the displayed page with its filters, without customer personal data.

11The product workspace

Several tools are used straight from the shop's product pages, in a panel reserved for staff. Each tool is a separate module; the panel only shows the tabs of enabled modules.

Launch staff mode

1. Enable at least one of these modules, then open its settings (Configurer).
2. Click Gérer le stock sur la boutique (manage stock on the shop). The shop opens in the same tab.
3. Open a product page: the Commerce Pro · Personnel panel appears. Pick the product or variation under Produit / déclinaison.

The mode lasts one hour in that browser tab; Quitter le mode personnel (leave staff mode) removes it. Customers never see the panel. Every action checks your native permissions: shop management and product editing on WooCommerce; module configuration and catalogue editing on PrestaShop, within a single selected shop.

Stock, history and stocktake

Enter a whole number of units, click Ajouter or Retirer, then confirm. Stock must be tracked in the native product record; one adjustment is limited to 10,000 units and cannot make stock negative. On WooCommerce, stock shared with the parent product is flagged. On PrestaShop, packs and warehouse stock remain managed in the native admin.

With Historique et motifs de stock, each adjustment carries a reason (supplier delivery, correction, breakage or loss, return…) and its author. The history also records native stock movements from the moment the module is enabled. Annuler ce mouvement (reverse this movement) creates an opposite movement: sales made since are kept.

In Premium, Préparer plusieurs lignes (prepare several rows) adjusts several variations at once, and the Inventaire (quantités comptées) entry type turns your counts into differences. A summary always comes before saving, and the result is given row by row: a row whose stock changed in the meantime is rejected without blocking the others.

Prices and sales

On WooCommerce, the tab edits the native regular price, sale price and sale dates; for a variable product, those of the selected variation. On PrestaShop, it edits the price excluding tax in the base currency and a promotion owned by Commerce Pro; your other specific prices are kept. Dates follow the shop's timezone. Vérifier les prix shows the change before you confirm. Orders already placed do not change.

Sync with Inklura Sync

If your two shops are connected by Inklura Sync (version 0.6.3 or later on both sides), the Synchronisation tab compares the product on Cette boutique (this shop) and on the Partenaire (partner) shop: stock per variation, last event and pending events, links to both records.

Catalogue transfers always follow the original-to-copy direction: the original can Envoyer vers la boutique partenaire, the copy can Récupérer depuis la boutique partenaire. Sync's conflict protection stays active. Stock differences go through Inklura Sync's movement queue: this button does not force stock levels to match. For a conflict or a stuck event, use the Inklura Sync admin.

Quality and replenishment

The Qualité tab flags a missing image or description (free) and, in Premium, duplicate references, missing weights and incomplete variations, with a link to the native record to fix them. The Réapprovisionnement tab (Premium) estimates the units to plan from recent sales, supplier lead time, desired coverage and safety stock, all set in the module. Enter the Unités attendues du fournisseur (units expected from the supplier), then Enregistrer les arrivages (save incoming stock): this does not change sellable stock, so reduce these quantities on receipt. It is an estimate, not a purchase order.

12Back-in-stock alerts

Premium module. On an out-of-stock product or variation, customers leave their address in the Alerte de retour en stock block and click Me prévenir (notify me). They receive a confirmation email: the sign-up only counts after they click Confirmer mon inscription (confirm). The same email lets them cancel.

When physical stock returns, a scheduled task sends one alert per sign-up, after checking stock and product publication. Allowed backorders do not count as a return to stock. The address is deleted after sending, cancellation or expiry.

• Expiration des demandes (jours) (request expiry): 90 days by default, 1 to 365.
• Envois maximum par traitement (maximum sends per run): 20 by default, 50 at most.

13Command line

Both editions offer the same commands, with JSON output: status, modules, settings, licence, alert queue and product tools. Run them as the shop's system user.

Every write needs --yes and an explicit staff account (--user on WordPress, --employee on PrestaShop) with the usual permissions. --dry-run previews enabling a module, a settings change, a bulk adjustment or a stocktake. The licence key is never entered on the command line. The full reference is docs/cli.md, included in each archive.

14Updates and scheduled tasks

WooCommerce: new versions appear under Plugins, with one-click update. Licence checks and alert sending run through WP-Cron every hour: on a low-traffic shop, hand WP-Cron to a system task.

PrestaShop: download the new archive, then upload it with Upload a module. PrestaShop runs the upgrade scripts and keeps the settings. Then install these two hourly tasks, with the shop's user and PHP version:

If a scheduler already triggers PrestaShop's actionCronJob hook, it can replace them. Without the first task, the licence is no longer renewed automatically: the entitlement expires after 14 days unless you click Vérifier maintenant.

An update never enables a new module.

15Troubleshooting

Licence messages appear in the Licence tab; workspace messages, in the panel.

• A badge or message does not appear: the theme may not use the native location. Check with a default theme, then tell us which theme is involved.
• The panel does not appear on the product page: staff mode expired or was launched in another tab, or no workspace module is enabled.
• No back-in-stock alert: check the scheduled task, the shop's email sending and that the customer actually confirmed the sign-up.

For help, write to contact@inklura.fr with the platform, version, module and step involved. Leave out keys and passwords.

16Disable or uninstall

To stop one feature, simply disable its module: its settings are kept. To stop the extension:

• WooCommerce: deactivate then delete the plugin from Plugins. Deleting it erases back-in-stock sign-ups and their scheduled task; module settings stay saved.
• PrestaShop: in the Module Manager, uninstall Inklura Commerce Pro. Uninstalling also erases alert sign-ups. Then remove the two cron tasks.

To use your licence on another shop, first click Release shop in your customer area (or Retirer la clé, remove key, in the Licence tab), then activate the key on the new shop.
