VibeShift Boost is a WooCommerce-focused conversion and product-performance plugin designed to help store owners add urgency, social proof, visitor information, countdown campaigns, analytics, and AI-assisted insights to product pages and the WordPress admin dashboard.
Version 3.0.57 corrects the release packaging layout: the SVN trunk and tag contain vibeshift-boost.php and readme.txt directly at their roots, and the installable ZIP folder matches the WordPress.org repository slug. This is a packaging/upgrade-identity correction; it does not migrate or delete store data. Version 3.0.56 removes the obsolete local Pro activation-key form and save endpoint from Free Settings, replaces the unverified disconnected-license warning with neutral VibeShift account-management guidance, and leaves the report recipient blank unless a VibeShift account integration explicitly supplies a valid registered email. Remote trial/license status is not fabricated by the Free plugin. Version 3.0.55 moves the shared-data explanation and reporting filters immediately above the Special Promotions List, adds the Last 6 Hours filter across saved countdown durations, and pre-fills the report recipient from the email supplied by the then-current account mechanism. Version 3.0.54 moves the Customer Location Map to the bottom of the Dashboard and improves daily inventory and print layout. Version 3.0.51 restores the original Product Intelligence / Complete Product Performance heading and single-row search/Add Product toolbar, keeps every matching WooCommerce product card on Products using 100-item query batches, removes the dashboard-only hidden flag and pagination that changed the previous catalog behavior, and keeps the separate Performance Analytics view. Version 3.0.50 separates Overview, Products and Analytics so the full WooCommerce catalog stays on the Products page and analytics uses its own metrics/tables. It also aligns the monthly report CSV to one stable set of columns and avoids classifying a removal using lifetime sales history. Version 3.0.49 includes reports-module security and database-query cleanups. It preserves the existing VibeShift Boost Free features while using a distinctive VibeShift Boost code/data namespace, preserving existing stored data during upgrade, and improving WordPress.org compatibility documentation.
WooCommerce is recommended for the product and storefront features. The plugin is designed to activate without requiring WooCommerce during plugin activation, while WooCommerce-powered features become available when WooCommerce is active.
Release notes
Version 3.0.70 is a clean security-focused rebuild based on the verified 3.0.57 SVN trunk, with the reviewed 3.0.58 live-visitor endpoint protections and Free-to-Pro compatibility status contract reapplied. It preserves the existing plugin identity, settings, WooCommerce product metadata, visitor history, and report data. No destructive database migration is introduced.

External services
VibeShift Boost can optionally connect to OpenAI when the site administrator enables the plugin’s AI features and configures an OpenAI API key. The OpenAI connection is not required for the plugin’s non-AI countdown, visitor, analytics, or WooCommerce features.
When an AI request is made, the plugin sends the product information and aggregated dashboard information needed for the requested analysis, together with the configured AI request settings. Requests are sent only when the administrator has enabled the AI functionality and configured an OpenAI API key.
OpenAI processes the transmitted information under its own terms and privacy policy.
OpenAI Terms of Service: https://openai.com/policies/service-terms/
OpenAI Privacy Policy: https://openai.com/policies/row-privacy-policy/
VibeShift Boost does not provide an OpenAI account and does not pay OpenAI API usage charges.
The plugin also provides ordinary outbound links to the VibeShift UI website for customer accounts, Pro trial information, pricing, and license information. These links do not send site data to VibeShift merely by being displayed.

Countdown Lifecycle
The countdown system uses a stored start timestamp and one authoritative end timestamp for each active product timer.
- None disables the countdown and clears its scheduled single expiration event.
- 6, 10, 15, or 30 Days creates the countdown using one stored start timestamp and one authoritative end timestamp.
- The WooCommerce frontend reads the stored end timestamp and updates the countdown display every second.
- When six hours or less remain, the frontend switches to the separate FINAL 6 HOURS countdown state.
- When the countdown reaches zero, the server-side expiration handler moves the product to Draft.
- A request-time safety fallback checks for an expired published product so a delayed WP-Cron run does not leave an expired product active indefinitely.
- Renew & Reactivate republishes the product and creates a fresh countdown.
- Keep Product stops the countdown while leaving the product published.
WP-Cron timing can be affected by the site’s hosting environment. The request-time safety fallback is therefore used as an additional protection against delayed scheduled tasks.
Visitor Tracking
VibeShift Boost records product visitor activity on the frontend and provides visitor information in the dashboard.
The visitor system is designed to distinguish visitor activity from ordinary page refreshes and to keep daily and longer-term visitor information separate.
The plugin preserves readability of existing visitor information stored by older underscore-prefixed product meta keys so upgrades do not unnecessarily discard previously stored data.
Visitor counts should be interpreted as plugin-recorded visitor activity rather than a guarantee of a unique human identity. Visitor analytics are opt-in: VibeShift Boost does not record product visits until the visitor accepts the first-party analytics consent prompt. The plugin also respects a browser Do Not Track signal.
AI Features
VibeShift Boost includes an optional AI layer for conversion-oriented product analysis and dashboard insights.
When AI is enabled and an OpenAI API key is configured, the plugin can use product and dashboard information to generate AI-assisted conversion insights. The AI system is designed to use the configured model, temperature, and maximum-token settings.
AI output is assistance for store analysis and decision-making. It should be reviewed by the site owner before being treated as a business decision or factual statement.
OpenAI usage may create API costs according to the account and service selected by the site owner. VibeShift Boost does not provide an OpenAI API account.
License and Pro Trial
The Free plugin’s License section connects customers to the official VibeShift UI website for Pro account and license actions.
Customers can use the License section to:
- Request the 30-day free Pro trial.
- Sign in to an existing VibeShift customer account.
- Create a VibeShift customer account.
- Purchase a Pro license.
- Manage an existing Pro license through the official VibeShift account and licensing system; the Free plugin does not collect or validate Pro activation keys.
The 30-day trial and customer license are created and managed by the VibeShift website and central licensing service. The Free plugin does not generate customer licenses and does not send customer email addresses to the VibeShift website merely because the License section is displayed.
The Free plugin does not expose a public license-validation endpoint. Pro license activation and validation are handled by the VibeShift Pro licensing system.
Do not place passwords, API secrets, or other private credentials into the license field.
Privacy and Visitor Consent
VibeShift Boost visitor analytics are optional and consent-based. When visitor analytics are enabled, the frontend asks the visitor for permission before recording product visitor activity. A first-party consent cookie remembers the visitor’s choice. The plugin uses product-level visitor counters and date-based visitor history stored in the WordPress database.
Site owners should include VibeShift Boost visitor analytics in their site’s privacy policy and should configure any broader consent-management system required by their jurisdiction or other plugins. VibeShift Boost also respects a browser Do Not Track signal.
The plugin provides privacy-policy guidance through WordPress’s built-in privacy-policy tools.
External Services
VibeShift Boost optionally connects to OpenAI for AI-assisted conversion analysis. This connection is used only when the site owner enables the plugin’s AI features and configures an OpenAI API key.
OpenAI
Service: OpenAI API. It is used to generate optional AI-assisted product and dashboard conversion insights.
Data sent: When an AI analysis is requested, VibeShift Boost sends the product and/or dashboard information selected by the plugin for that analysis, together with the configured AI model and request settings. The plugin sends this data only when AI processing is enabled and an OpenAI API key is available. The OpenAI API key is used for authentication and is not included in the generated analysis content.
Why it is sent: The data is sent to OpenAI so the configured OpenAI model can generate the requested conversion insight, recommendation, forecast, or related AI analysis.
When it is sent: Only when the site owner has enabled AI functionality and the plugin performs an AI request. AI processing is optional; the plugin’s non-AI features do not require OpenAI.
Service website: https://openai.com/
Terms: https://openai.com/policies/service-terms/
Privacy: https://openai.com/policies/row-privacy-policy/
OpenAI usage may create API charges under the site’s OpenAI account. The site owner is responsible for deciding what information is appropriate to send, configuring consent and privacy controls where required, and reviewing OpenAI’s current documentation.
Configuration
After activation, VibeShift Boost provides a single admin area containing the main Version 3 dashboard sections, including:
- Dashboard
- Products
- Analytics
- Settings
The Settings area provides controls for enabling the plugin, enabling visitor counting, and configuring visitor and final-six-hour warning colors.
Product controls are available from the VibeShift Boost dashboard for supported WooCommerce products.
Requirements
- WordPress 6.2 or newer.
- PHP 8.0 or newer.
- WooCommerce recommended for WooCommerce product and storefront features.
- A working WordPress cron environment is recommended for scheduled countdown expiration handling. The plugin also includes a request-time expiration safety fallback.
Privacy
VibeShift Boost may process product visitor activity and other analytics information needed to provide its dashboard and conversion features.
Site owners are responsible for determining the privacy, cookie, consent, retention, and disclosure requirements that apply to their website and visitors.
If AI features are enabled, information selected by the plugin for AI analysis may be sent to the configured OpenAI service. Site owners should review their own legal, privacy, and data-processing requirements before enabling third-party AI processing.
The plugin does not claim that its visitor tracking is a replacement for a site’s privacy policy, cookie policy, consent-management system, or legal advice.
