The dashboard is the compact start page of the plugin. It brings together setup, status, shortcodes, support notes and quick access to the most important work areas. Since Lite 1.0.13, the area has been visually modernised and expanded with a tutorial entry point.
What does the admin see?
- Modernised quick start area “Ready in 4 steps” for page, form, button and mandatory check.
- Direct tutorial link to the YouTube channel with setup and usage videos.
- Status of the form and button integration.
- Shortcodes for the form and button, including copy function.
- KPI cards for open withdrawal requests, total number and mandatory-check status.
- FAQ accordions as well as support and FAQ cards.
- Notices about an active or missing PRO version and quick access to extensions.
- Since Lite 1.0.18, a compact compatibility note is shown when WooCommerce Germanized provides known additional withdrawal entry points. The notice links directly to the Germanized settings and can be hidden per administrator.
Purpose
The start page is mainly intended for setup, support and day-to-day orientation. Shop operators can quickly see whether the mandatory process is configured, where shortcodes can be copied, whether there are open withdrawal requests and where suitable video tutorials are available.
| Setup | Leads to settings, the mandatory check and the integration of the form or button. |
|---|---|
| Tutorials | Links to the official YouTube playlist with guidance on setting up and using the Widerrufsmanager. |
| Daily work | Links to open withdrawal requests, the withdrawal overview and the extensions page. |
| Support | Provides FAQ and support entry points without mixing the actual process documentation with licence or purchase details. |
| Germanized compatibility | Detects known parallel withdrawal entry points and links directly to the relevant Germanized settings for manual review. WM Widerrufsmanager does not change any Germanized settings automatically. |
WordPress dashboard widget since Lite 1.0.13
In addition to the plugin start page, Lite 1.0.13 registers a compact WordPress dashboard widget titled “WM Widerrufsmanager”. It displays the most important withdrawal KPIs directly on the WordPress start page.
| KPI cards | Total, Open, Approved and Rejected. Each full card is clickable and takes you directly to the filtered withdrawal overview. |
|---|---|
| Lite display | If PRO is not active, a subtle notice is shown about statistics and exports in WM Widerrufsmanager PRO. |
| PRO active | If PRO 1.0.3 is active, the teaser is replaced with a real PRO statistics summary including the monthly figure, top product, top reason and actions for statistics and export. |
The admin footer was also adjusted in Lite 1.0.13: the rating notice is now shown more subtly in italics and highlights “WM Widerrufsmanager” typographically.
