Push a finished WooCommerce competition's entrants to Verified Draws for a provably-fair, independently-verifiable prize draw.

== Description ==

Verified Draws lets a competition operator push a finished competition's entrant roster (ticket numbers, and optionally entrant names) to the Verified Draws live page with one button — then run the draw in front of an audience and let anyone independently verify the result.

Three ways to import: native auto-detection for supported WooCommerce competition plugins, a generic WooCommerce reader for any other competition plugin, and a universal CSV column-mapper for any other stack.

== External services / privacy ==

This plugin sends competition data to Verified Draws (https://verifieddraws.uk) when you press "Push selected to Verified Draws". It transmits the competition's ticket values and, only if you opt in per push, entrant names. It never transmits payment details, addresses, or email addresses. By default names are NOT sent (ticket-only).

Authentication uses a site key generated locally on this site and sent only server-to-server; it is never shown in a browser or placed in a URL. See the Verified Draws privacy policy at https://verifieddraws.uk/privacy.

== Installation ==

1. Install and activate the plugin (WooCommerce required).
2. Open Verified Draws → Settings and run the connection self-test.
3. Open Verified Draws, select an ended competition, and press the button.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What data leaves my site, and where does it go? =

When you press "Push selected to Verified Draws", the plugin sends the selected competition's ticket values to Verified Draws (https://verifieddraws.uk). Entrant names are sent only if you opt in for that push; they are off by default. No payment details, postal addresses, or email addresses are ever sent.

= Does the plugin contact an external service automatically? =

No. Nothing leaves your site until you press the push button. The optional connection self-test on the Settings screen only checks that this site can reach and authenticate with Verified Draws — it sends no competition data.

= How is my site authenticated? =

A site key is generated locally on your site on first use and sent only server-to-server over HTTPS. It is never displayed in a browser or placed in a URL.

= Which competition plugins are supported? =

Supported WooCommerce competition plugins are auto-detected. Any other WooCommerce competition plugin can be read generically, and any other stack can be imported via the universal CSV column-mapper.

= Is WooCommerce required? =

WooCommerce is required for the native and generic import paths. The CSV import path works independently of how your entries were collected.

== Changelog ==

= 1.0.0 =
* Initial release: native, generic WooCommerce, and CSV import paths; one-button push to Verified Draws.
