Readme github.com/philipad1234/trailgear-toolkit ↗

A custom WooCommerce plugin built for a fictional outdoor-gear store, demonstrating PHP/WordPress plugin development beyond drag-and-drop store configuration — custom product logic, checkout customization, a REST API endpoint, admin tooling, and automation, all built from scratch using WordPress/WooCommerce hooks and filters.

Why this exists

This is a portfolio project. Rather than just configuring an off-the-shelf WooCommerce store, the goal here is to show hands-on PHP work: writing a proper plugin (not theme functions.php snippets), following WordPress plugin architecture conventions, and using WooCommerce's hook system the way a real client project would require.

Demo store: outdoor/hiking gear retailer ("TrailGear").

Development notes

Custom checkout field

Added a "Preferred Delivery Date" field using woocommerce_after_order_notes to render it on checkout, woocommerce_checkout_update_ordermeta to sanitize and persist the value as order meta (prefixed with to keep it out of WordPress's generic Custom Fields UI), and woocommerce_admin_order_data_after_billing_address to surface it on the admin order screen. Input is sanitized on save (sanitize_text_field) and escaped on output (esc_html)
