ProductBay Pro

ProductBay Pro is the premium add-on for the ProductBay free plugin. It unlocks advanced features for WooCommerce product tables, including pro-exclusive column types, advanced filtering, export capabilities, and deeper design customization.

Note: This repository is private and available only to paying customers.

Architecture & Extensibility

ProductBay Pro uses a hook-based architecture. It does not duplicate any code from the free version, nor does it interact with the WordPress database directly.

Instead, it extends the free version entirely via WordPress action hooks (do_action) and filters (apply_filters).

• Free plugin: Defines the core experience, database schema, and UI, while exposing productbay_* extension points.
• Pro plugin: Acts purely as an add-on, injecting premium features into those extension points.

For a complete reference of available hooks, see the ProductBay Hooks API Documentation.

Development Setup

Prerequisites

1. WordPress Local Development Environment
2. ProductBay (Free) — installed and active from the public repo.
3. Composer v2+ for PHP dependencies
4. Bun (or npm/Yarn) for release scripting

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the Repository Clone this repo into your wp-content/plugins/ directory, alongside the free version:

   cd wp-content/plugins
   git clone git@github.com:forhadkhan/productbay-pro.git
   cd productbay-pro

2. Install PHP Dependencies
   The pro plugin uses Composer for PSR-4 autoloading.

   composer install

3. Install Build Scripts

   bun install

(Note: Unlike the free version, there is no bun run dev step needed here, as the Pro version currently does not compile React/Tailwind assets independently. All React UI extensions are injected into the free version's localized script data.)

📦 Building for Production

To create a production-ready ZIP file for distribution:

1. Install production dependencies (no dev tooling):

   composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader

2. Package the release:

   bun run release

   This will generate productbay-pro.zip and productbay-pro-X.X.X.zip in the dist/ directory, stripped of all dev/testing files.
