type-two 5ad4de1d2c feat(bridge): RecordGod WP bridge plugin (WowPlatter successor) + thumb on browse/release
Thin WordPress/Woo bridge — RecordGod owns catalog/stock/pricing/shipping; the plugin is a storefront
skin + checkout adapter over /shop:
- storefront: SSR /records (browse) + /release/{id} inside the theme, with title/meta/JSON-LD MusicAlbum
- on-the-fly Woo product: /?rg_add=<sku> mints a hidden WC_Product_Simple from /shop/item (the WowPlatter
  trick — 25k catalog, only sold items become Woo products)
- shipping: WC_Shipping_Method quoting /shop/shipping/quote by cart item count (AusPost flat rate)
- orders: order_status_completed -> POST /shop/woo-order (X-Bridge-Key), idempotent, marks SKUs sold
- settings page: base URL + bridge key + store id
Backend: added thumb to /shop/browse + /shop/release so storefront pages have cover art.

RecordGod Bridge (WordPress plugin)

Thin successor to WowPlatter. RecordGod owns the catalog, stock, pricing and shipping; this plugin is a storefront skin + checkout adapter over its /shop API. WordPress/WooCommerce is kept lean — Woo only ever sees the records people actually buy.

What it does

Concern How
Storefront (SEO) class-rg-storefront.php — server-renders /records (browse) and /release/{id} inside the theme, with <title>, meta description, and JSON-LD MusicAlbum/Offer. Pulls /shop/browse + /shop/release.
On-the-fly Woo product class-rg-cart.php — the WowPlatter trick. /?rg_add=<sku> looks the SKU up (wc_get_product_id_by_sku); if absent, mints a hidden WC_Product_Simple from /shop/item (price, image, stock=1) then adds it to the cart. 25k catalog, ~handful of Woo products.
Shipping class-rg-shipping.php — a WC_Shipping_Method that quotes postage from /shop/shipping/quote?units=<cart item count> (AusPost Parcel/Express flat rate, 280g/record). Add it to a Woo shipping zone.
Order webhook class-rg-orders.php — on order_status_completed, POSTs the order back to /shop/woo-order (with X-Bridge-Key). RecordGod marks the SKUs sold + logs the online sale. Idempotent.
Settings Settings → RecordGod Bridge: base URL, bridge key (must match RecordGod's bridge_key secret), store id.

Install

  1. Copy wp-bridge/ to wp-content/plugins/recordgod-bridge/ and activate (flushes rewrite rules).
  2. Settings → RecordGod Bridge: set base URL (https://recordgod.com) + bridge key.
  3. WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping → add RecordGod Postage to your AU zone.
  4. Visit /records. (If pages 404, re-save Permalinks once.)

Not in scope (stays where it is)

  • Woo handles payment + transactional emails.
  • RecordGod sends its own receipts (mailer.py) and holds Discogs/import auth — no OAuth in this plugin.
