## Descrizione

Chimely increases conversion rates on your WordPress website by displaying recent
sales, signups and live visitor activity.

**Recent Activity** — show live purchases, signups or bookings the moment they happen,
pulled from WooCommerce, WordPress comments, new user signups, manual entries, or
a CSV import.

**Conversion Count** — share the total number of signups, downloads or purchases
in a given time window (today, last 7 days, last 30 days, all time) to signal momentum.

**Visitor Count** — show how many people are viewing a page right now, based on 
a real, privacy-friendly presence heartbeat (not a fake random number), with an 
optional natural minimum for quiet pages.

#### Data Sources

 * Manual entries (add rows directly in the notification editor)
 * CSV import (download the sample file, fill it in, upload it)
 * WordPress comments
 * WordPress user registrations
 * WooCommerce orders (HPOS compatible)
 * Google Reviews (via the Google Places API, using your own API key and Place ID)

#### Features

 * Unlimited notifications, each fully independent
 * Position, color, corner radius, image size and close-button controls per notification
 * Display rules: specific URLs (with wildcards), logged-in/out visibility, desktop/
   mobile targeting
 * Timing controls: initial delay, display duration, delay between notifications,
   looping
 * `[chimely id="123"]` shortcode to embed Conversion Count / Visitor Count anywhere
 * No license key, no feature gating — everything in this plugin is available out
   of the box

### External services

This plugin relies on the following third party services. Neither is required to
use the plugin: the first is only reached if you switch a notification to the Google
Reviews source, the second only if a notification displays an avatar for an entry
that has an email address.

#### Google Places API

Used by the optional “Google Reviews” data source to read the review count and recent
reviews for the Google Business Profile you point it at, so they can be displayed
as social proof notifications.

The plugin sends a request to https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/
json containing the Google Places API key and the Place ID that you enter yourself
on the plugin’s Settings screen, plus the fields being requested. No information
about your site, your visitors or your customers is included in that request. The
request is made from your server (never from a visitor’s browser), only when a notification
using the Google Reviews source is displayed, and the result is cached so it is 
not repeated on every page view. If you never select the Google Reviews source, 
no request is ever made.

This service is provided by Google. Terms of service: https://cloud.google.com/maps-
platform/terms/ — Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

#### Gravatar

Used to display a profile picture next to an entry in a notification, matching WordPress’s
own default behaviour for comment avatars.

When an entry has an email address (for example a WooCommerce customer or a comment
author), the plugin renders an image tag pointing at https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/
with an MD5 hash of that email address in the URL. The image is requested by the
visitor’s browser, which means the visitor’s IP address and the hashed email address
reach Gravatar’s servers. The plain email address is never sent. Entries with no
email address get a locally generated initials avatar instead and cause no external
request.

This service is provided by Automattic. Terms of service: https://automattic.com/

## Installazione

 1. Upload the `chimely-social-proof` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install 
    the zip via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to Chimely > Add New to create your first notification.
 4. Choose a Notification Type and Data Source, adjust Content/Display/Timing/Design,
    and publish.

## FAQ

### Does this work without WooCommerce?

Yes. Manual entries, CSV import, WordPress comments and user signups all work without
any eCommerce plugin. WooCommerce support is automatically enabled when WooCommerce
is active.

### Is the Visitor Count real or simulated?

Real by default — it’s based on actual page views tracked with a lightweight heartbeat.
You can set a natural minimum so the count never looks empty on a quiet page.

### Can I use it on multiple pages with different settings?

Yes. Each notification is its own post with its own display rules, so you can run
as many independent notifications as you like.

### Does this plugin send data to external servers?

Only in the two cases described under “External services” below: the optional Google
Reviews source, and Gravatar avatar images. Nothing is ever sent to the plugin’s
author, there is no telemetry or usage tracking, and no licence check or “phone 
home” of any kind. Every notification, entry and visitor count is stored in your
own database.
