+# YourPropFirm UI Addon — Production Setup Guide
+
+This add-on replaces the YourPropFirm checkout with the **FUNDEDBIT 2-step design**
+(Challenge → Information). It is a **pure override layer**: it styles and re-arranges
+the checkout the main plugin already renders. **It never modifies the main plugin** —
+everything below is standard WooCommerce / YourPropFirm configuration plus one small
+admin field this add-on adds.
+
+> **Requirement:** the **YourPropFirm Plugin** must be installed and active. If it isn't,
+> the add-on shows an admin notice and does nothing.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Install
+
+1. Upload & activate the **YourPropFirm UI Addon** plugin (alongside the main plugin).
+2. That's it — the checkout (`/checkout/`) is automatically restyled. No settings page
+   for the add-on itself.
+
+The compiled stylesheet (`dist/css/checkout.css`) is committed and shipped — you do **not**
+need Node/Tailwind in production. (Only rebuild if you change `src/css/checkout.css`; see
+[Development](#development).)
+
+---
+
+## 2. Product structure (how Step 1 is built)
+
+Step 1 ("Choose Your Challenge") is driven **entirely by your WooCommerce categories and
+products** — nothing is hardcoded. The model is:
+
+| Design element | Comes from | Where you set it |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Evaluation Type** card (e.g. "1-Step") | a Product **Category** name | Products → Categories |
+| Card **subtitle** ("Single Phase Evaluation") | the Category **Description** | Products → Categories → Description |
+| Card **badge** ("Best Value" / "Most Popular") | the Category **Checkout Badge** | Products → Categories → **Checkout Badge** (added by this add-on) |
+| **Account Balance** pill (e.g. "$100,000") | a **Product's Account Size** | the product → Product data → **Account Size** |
+| Balance **currency** ($, €, …) | the **Product's Account Currency** | the product → **Account Currency** |
+| **Price** (Base / Total) | the **Product price** | the product → Regular price |
+| **Trading Platform** options | the product's **Trading Options** | the product → Trading Options |
+
+**So, to add an evaluation type:** create a product **Category** (name + description + badge),
+then add one **Product per account size** inside it (set Account Size, Account Currency,
+Trading Options, Program, and price on each).
+
+Everything is live: rename a category, change a description/badge, add a product, change a
+price — the checkout reflects it (see the [cache note](#notes--gotchas)).
+
+---
+
+## 3. Checkout settings
+
+**WP Admin → YourPropFirm → Product Setup:**
+
+- **Enable Product Selection** — ✅
+- **Product Categories** — select your evaluation-type categories (these become the cards)
+- **Display Product as Radio Buttons** — ✅ (renders the account-size **cards**; turn off for a dropdown)
+- **Display Account Size** — ✅ (shows the account balance instead of the product name)
+- *(Optional)* **Overwrite Product Category Label** → level 0 = `Select Evaluation Type`
+
+**YourPropFirm → General Settings:**
+
+- **Terms of Service Link** and **Privacy Policy Link** — set these; the consent text on
+  Step 2 links to them.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Badges (the "Checkout Badge" field)
+
+This add-on adds a **Checkout Badge** field to the category editor:
+
+> **Products → Categories → (edit a category) → Checkout Badge**
+
+Type e.g. `Best Value` or `Most Popular` and Update. Leave empty for no badge. It also
+appears on the **Add new category** screen.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Payment
+
+The checkout uses **whatever payment gateways you enable in WooCommerce** — nothing is
+hardcoded to a specific provider.
+
+- Enable gateways in **WooCommerce → Settings → Payments** (Stripe, bank transfer, Confirmo,
+  NMI, …).
+- Step 2's **Payment method** dropdown is populated **dynamically** from your enabled gateways.
+- Selecting a gateway renders **that provider's own fields** (e.g. Stripe's card form).
+- **Proceed to Payment** places the order through the selected gateway via WooCommerce's
+  native checkout — the add-on does no payment processing of its own.
+
+No gateway-specific configuration is needed in the add-on.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Terms & conditions
+
+The design uses **consent text** ("By placing your order, you agree to our Terms / Privacy
+Policy") instead of a checkbox. The form submits a hidden, always-accepted `terms` field so
+the main plugin's terms validation passes. Just make sure the **TOS / Privacy links** are set
+(Section 3).
+
+---
+
+## 7. Currency model (important)
+
+Two **independent** currencies, by design:
+
+- **Account balance** (the pills + the summary's *Account* row) → the **product's Account
+  Currency** (e.g. a `$100,000` USD account).
+- **Price** (*Base Price / Sub Total / Total*, and the order) → the **WooCommerce store
+  currency** (WooCommerce → Settings → General → Currency).
+
+So a `$100,000` (USD) account can be sold for `€489` (EUR store) — the account size shows `$`,
+the price shows `€`. This is intentional and correct.
+
+---
+
+## Notes & gotchas
+
+- **Caching:** the main plugin caches the checkout data for ~5 minutes. After editing
+  products/categories, changes may take up to 5 minutes (or one extra reload) to appear.
+- **Order line-item names** are a snapshot taken at purchase (standard WooCommerce) — renaming
+  a product later does not change names on existing orders.
+- The add-on overrides templates only when a matching file exists under
+  `templates/woocommerce/`; anything else falls through to the main plugin unchanged.
+
+---
+
+## Development
+
+Only needed if you edit styles/markup in this repo.
+
+- **Rebuild CSS** after editing `src/css/checkout.css`:
+  ```bash
+  cd build && npm run build      # outputs dist/css/checkout.css
+  ```
+- **Local test data:** `local-dev/seed-category-demo.php` builds a category-driven demo
+  (eval categories + account-size products). Run it in your WP-CLI/container:
+  ```bash
+  wp eval-file wp-content/plugins/yourpropfirm-ui-addon/local-dev/seed-category-demo.php
+  ```
+- The add-on is **add-on only** — never edit the main plugin to make a change work; it must
+  function against the stock main plugin.
