You upload a book, an audiobook, a course, a video or a design file, and the service hosts it, runs checkout and payment processing, delivers the file, runs the in-browser reader and player, prints and ships paperbacks on demand, handles refunds and buyer support, and pays you out. This plugin is the WordPress client for that service.<\/p>\n\n<p>Connecting is a real account link, not an embed code. When you click <strong>Connect<\/strong> the plugin registers its own read-only API client with publica.now (OAuth 2.0 client credentials, scope <code>catalog:read<\/code>), stores those credentials in your database and uses them for every later request. Your pages then read live data from the API: which works are published, the effective price right now including any running sale and the date it ends, whether a work is free, its formats, languages and rating, whether a print edition can be ordered, and the right hosted checkout, reader or print-order address. Change a price, start a sale or unpublish a title and your pages follow within the cache window, with nothing to edit here.<\/p>\n\n<p>Blocks and shortcodes render that data \u2014 cover, title, author, format badge, price with the sale price struck through, rating \u2014 with a <strong>Buy<\/strong>, <strong>Read free<\/strong> or <strong>Order paperback<\/strong> button. Those buttons hand the reader to publica.now, the store of record: your site never processes a payment, stores a file or holds buyer data. Every outbound link carries this site's host name, so publica.now attributes the sale back to your website.<\/p>\n\n<p>Not on publica.now yet? An account is free and there is no monthly fee. Current service fees are published at <a href=\"https:\/\/publica.now\/pricing\">publica.now\/pricing<\/a>; create an account at <a href=\"https:\/\/publica.now\/access\/creator\">publica.now\/access\/creator<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>No e-commerce runs on WordPress: no cart, checkout, downloads or buyer records, no WooCommerce, no tracking scripts, no advertising.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Blocks and shortcodes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Three dynamic blocks appear in the editor under <em>Publica.now<\/em>, each with a live preview: <strong>Catalog<\/strong> (a grid or list), <strong>Work<\/strong> (one work as a card or inline row) and <strong>Buy Button<\/strong>. The shortcodes take the same options:<\/p>\n\n<pre><code>[publicanow_works limit=\"12\" columns=\"3\" layout=\"grid\" order=\"newest\"]\n[publicanow_work id=\"your-work-slug\" layout=\"card\"]\n[publicanow_button work=\"your-work-slug\" format=\"auto\"]\n\n[publicanow_works] accepts `creator`, `content_type` (`literary`, `audiobook`, `music`, `video`, `course`, `zine`, `photography`, `design`, `print`), `free` (`yes|no|any`), `ids`, `exclude`, `order`, `limit` (`0` = all), `columns` (1-6), `layout` (`grid|list`), `show_excerpt`, `show_rating`, `show_author`, `show_type`, `button_text`, `class`. `[publicanow_work]` takes `id`, `layout` (`card|inline`), `show_excerpt`, `button_text`, `class`; `[publicanow_button]` takes `work`, `text`, `format`, `class`. `format` is a preference, not a filter: a work with no digital edition still shows **Order paperback**.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n<p><strong>Theming and hooks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>The markup inherits your theme's font and exposes CSS custom properties you can override:<\/p>\n\n<pre><code>--publicanow-accent\n--publicanow-ink\n--publicanow-muted\n--publicanow-radius\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n<p>Any template in <code>templates\/<\/code> can be overridden by copying it to <code>{your-theme}\/publica-now\/<\/code>.

This is the only moment credentials are created, and it always takes an administrator.<\/li>\n<li><strong>When a page with a block or shortcode renders and the cache is empty or stale<\/strong>, and <strong>when an administrator clicks Refresh catalog<\/strong>: the plugin requests your public catalog (works, prices, availability, cover addresses) with those credentials. Only the creator slug and standard HTTP metadata (your server's IP address, user agent) are sent; no visitor data.<\/li>\n<li><strong>When a visitor views a page<\/strong>: their browser loads cover images from publica.now, which therefore receives their IP address and browser details as with any image. Clicking Buy, Read free or Order paperback takes them to publica.now; the link carries your site's host name as <code>utm_source<\/code>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>When you click Disconnect<\/strong>: the plugin asks publica.now to revoke this site's access token, then deletes the stored API credentials, the cached catalog and your stored profile. Deleting the plugin removes all of that from your site too, but makes no request: deactivation has already discarded the access token, and an unused token expires at publica.now within the hour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>What is received:<\/strong> public catalog data (titles, authors, descriptions, prices, sale dates, formats, ratings, cover images) and your public profile (name, avatar, website, works count) \u2014 all already visible to anyone on publica.now.
