Connecting This Site

FW Rental for WooCommerce tutorial for WordPress

This Site and the Store

WooCommerce > FW Rental is the plugin's own screen. It shows what this site is registered as, which add-ons are installed, and what a subscription adds.

Connecting Is Optional

Every rental feature works on a shop that never connects, and the plugin updates through WordPress.org either way. What connecting does is register this site with fastw3b.com. That registration is worth two things:

  • A support ticket is raised against a registered site.
  • A paid add-on needs it in order to receive updates.

If neither of those applies to you, there is nothing to do here.

How Connecting Works

There is no key to type. Pressing Connect this site to fastw3b.com takes you to your client section, which registers the website and sends you straight back, already verified. Pressing Disconnect this site reverses it — everything installed keeps working, and the site simply stops being offered new add-on updates.

What Is Sent

The screen shows, in a table, the exact values it will send before sending them:

  • The site key issued during the handshake
  • This site's address
  • The plugin, WordPress, WooCommerce and PHP versions
  • The names and versions of any FW Rental add-ons installed here

An optional tick box adds three more values:

  • The number of published products
  • The number of orders
  • The site language

Your catalogue, your customers, your orders and your administrator email address are never sent, whether or not that box is ticked.

No Background Activity

No page a shopper visits ever contacts the vendor. There is no scheduled task, and nothing happens on activation — the only two requests are an administrator opening that screen and an administrator pressing a button on it.
