## Description

FishBSE Listings connects your WordPress website to the FishBSE aquarium marketplace
service. Display your own eligible public listings and auctions with the native 
FishBSE Listings block or [fishbse_listings] shortcode. Choose cards, list or compact
layouts, theme colors, listing type, category and up to 24 items.

Optional transaction buttons let buyers open FishBSE or use an on-page purchase/
bid panel. Embedded transactions use a FishBSE sign-in and approval popup followed
by Stripe payment fields. FishBSE manages inventory, bid validation, auction timing,
reservations, orders and payment status. This plugin does not import WooCommerce
products or maintain a separate inventory database.

An active FishBSE seller account, verified email and completed Stripe seller verification
are required. Card payments and payouts must be enabled, and FishBSE must permit
integration access for the account. The separate FishBSE Verified badge is not required.
Public WordPress websites must use HTTPS. FishBSE service terms and applicable transaction
fees apply; no plugin license key or paid plugin edition is required.

The optional FishBSE footer logo and credit link are disabled by default. Listing
links and transaction controls are part of the marketplace service. All distributed
application source is included in readable form; no build step is required. See 
LICENSE.txt for licensing.

Full instructions and limitations are included in USER-GUIDE.txt and in Settings
> FishBSE Listings > How to use.

### External service and privacy

This plugin requires FishBSE. It does not send FishBSE requests until a site administrator
configures an API key. Saving a key initiates the connection; disconnecting removes
that site’s saved key.

#### FishBSE

FishBSE provides seller inventory, auction management, bid validation, reservations,
order records and payment-status verification. Its service terms and privacy policy
apply:

 * [FishBSE Terms of Service](https://fishbse.com/terms.php)
 * [FishBSE Privacy Policy](https://fishbse.com/privacy.php)

Every listing request reports this WordPress site’s home URL in X-FishBSE-Site, 
including display-only installations. FishBSE stores the origin (scheme, host and
port), seller ID, first/last request times and request count so staff can review
connected websites. These addresses are client-reported, not domain-ownership verification.
Stripe seller verification and staff access controls are checked on every FishBSE
request; the separate paid FishBSE Verified badge does not unlock this feature. 
Disabling access does not cancel existing orders or payments.

Embedded transactions use a FishBSE sign-in/approval popup and direct browser requests
to https://fishbse.com/wordpress_embed_api.php. These send the browser’s origin,
IP/user agent, a short-lived buyer authorization, and the buyer’s chosen bid or 
checkout options. Responses contain the scoped listing review, payment-session client
secret and verified bid/order result. Buyer access stays in browser memory; the 
plugin does not persist it in WordPress or localStorage. Stripe.js loads from https://
js.stripe.com and sends payment details directly to Stripe. No FishBSE password 
or full card number is collected by WordPress. See USER-GUIDE.txt for setup, privacy
details and limits.

This plugin connects to https://fishbse.com/wordpress_listings_api.php when validating
a newly entered API key and when visitors load or refresh listings. Requests send
the key in an Authorization header, the chosen listing filters, the WordPress home
URL in X-FishBSE-Site on every request, and the WordPress server’s IP address. Transaction-
enabled feeds also send the home URL as return_url. Buyer sign-in uses https://fishbse.
com/wordpress_connect.php; redirect-mode transactions open https://fishbse.com/wordpress_transaction.
php. The key is saved in the WordPress options database and never included in public
HTML or browser requests. FishBSE stores only a hash of the key. Protect your WordPress
database and backups. Uninstalling deletes the current site’s plugin settings; revoke
the key in FishBSE to invalidate it everywhere.

The service returns only the connected seller’s public listing information, current
auction bids, bid counts, open trade request counts, and auction dates. Visitors
load listing images from their supplied image hosts and open FishBSE links to bid,
enquire or purchase. No payment, bidder identity or private contact details are 
returned. FishBSE account registration is required.

#### Stripe

Stripe provides payment processing and card verification. Stripe.js loads from https://
js.stripe.com/v3/ when the buyer opens a payment or card-verification step, not 
upon plugin activation. Card information and any requested billing/shipping information
are submitted through Stripe’s fields directly to Stripe. Stripe also receives browser/
device and network information as described in its privacy policy. Authenticated
FishBSE results may show a card brand and last four digits; these are not saved 
in WordPress settings or returned in the public inventory feed.

 * [Stripe Services Agreement](https://stripe.com/legal/ssa)
 * [Stripe Privacy Policy](https://stripe.com/privacy)

Listing images load from the HTTPS image hosts supplied in the FishBSE feed. These
hosts receive normal image-request metadata, including the visitor’s IP address.
Plugin icons, styles and application scripts are bundled locally; Stripe.js is the
documented payment-service exception.

### Refresh behavior

Visible pages refresh every 15 seconds, rechecking access with FishBSE on each refresh.
Hidden tabs pause refresh and update when reopened. The listings feed is read-only;
embedded controls use separate buyer-authorized FishBSE requests and Stripe payment
fields inside the WordPress page. Ended, canceled, completed, archived or unpublished
listings are removed. Auction release/finalization cron jobs on FishBSE must continue
running normally.

If FishBSE cannot be reached or a key is revoked, cards are cleared with an unavailable
message instead of displaying stale prices. Replacing a key disconnects all sites
using the previous key. Disconnecting in WordPress clears only that site’s saved
key. Revoke in the FishBSE dashboard to invalidate it everywhere.

## Blocks

This plugin provides 1 block.

 *   FishBSE Listings Display your FishBSE listings and auctions with automatic 
   updates.

## Installation

 1. Register at https://fishbse.com/register.php and verify your email, then complete
    Stripe seller verification (card payments and payouts enabled).
 2. In your FishBSE dashboard, open WordPress listings and generate an API key.
 3. Upload fishbse-listings.zip through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin and activate.
 4. Open Settings > FishBSE Listings. Review the service/privacy information, paste
    your key and save to connect.
 5. Choose cards, list or compact; theme colors; a listing type; a category; and a 
    maximum of 1–24 items.
 6. In the WordPress block editor, click +, search FishBSE Listings, and insert or 
    drag the block into your page or template. The editor previews your connected listings.
    Use the sidebar to override layout and colors for each block; type, category and
    quantity follow the site settings. Wide/full alignment and spacing controls are
    available where supported by your theme.
     Existing [fishbse_listings] Shortcode
    blocks continue working. PHP templates can use: echo do_shortcode(‘[fishbse_listings]’);

## FAQ

### Can buyers purchase or bid from my website?

Yes. Enable transaction buttons and choose Stay on this website. Buyers sign in 
and approve access in a FishBSE popup, then review/submit bids and complete Stripe
card checkout in an on-page panel. FishBSE remains authoritative for prices, inventory,
consent, bids and order/payment status. Buyer access expires after 30 minutes and
is specific to the item and website. Requires HTTPS, popups, and enabled FishBSE
service access. Redirect mode remains optional. Order management, refunds and later
auction winner-payment recovery remain on FishBSE. Closing the panel does not cancel
an accepted bid or payment.

### Can I use this with my theme?

Yes. Use the native FishBSE Listings block, a Shortcode block or the PHP shortcode
helper. The theme must call wp_head() and wp_footer(). Listing filters are shared
across the site; each native block can override its layout and colors. Native block
insertion requires the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg); other page builders can
use the shortcode. Configure multisite installations individually; network-wide 
management is not provided.

### How many websites can use a key?

The key can be used on multiple sites. FishBSE allows 120 authenticated requests
per minute per account, shared across all sites. Successful responses are not cached
by this plugin. Traffic from many visitors or sites may reach this shared allowance;
rate-limited feeds fail closed.

### Does this create WordPress products?

It displays a live feed. It does not import posts or WooCommerce products.

### Is the FishBSE footer link required?

No. The footer logo and credit link are optional and disabled by default. Enable
them in the display settings only if desired.
