            "content_html": "<p>This site said three modules could not be enabled in version 1.0. That stopped being true when they were\nregistered, and the pages were not updated with them. Corrected today, along with the plan limits.</p>\n<h2 class=\"anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq\" id=\"all-78-modules-register\">All 78 modules register<a href=\"https://empora-docs.aoneahsan.com/changelog/documentation-corrections-2026-09-12#all-78-modules-register\" class=\"hash-link\" aria-label=\"Direct link to All 78 modules register\" title=\"Direct link to All 78 modules register\" translate=\"no\">​</a></h2>\n<p><code>inventory</code> (Advanced Inventory Management), <code>livechat</code> (Live Chat &amp; Customer Support) and <code>store_credit</code>\n(Store Credit &amp; Wallet) were described across this site as being in the catalogue but impossible to switch\non. They were registered on 2 September, and the documentation kept saying otherwise.</p>\n<p>Every one of the 78 modules in the plugin's manifest registers and can be enabled. The only thing deciding\nwhether you can switch a module on is whether your plan includes it.</p>\n<p>The three modules' reference pages were rewritten from the code they actually run, rather than described as\nunreleased work:</p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"\"><a class=\"\" href=\"https://empora-docs.aoneahsan.com/modules/reference/inventory\">Advanced Inventory Management</a> — stock per location, transfers with their\nown lifecycle, an audit log, and the daily low-stock alert.</li>\n<li class=\"\"><a class=\"\" href=\"https://empora-docs.aoneahsan.com/modules/reference/livechat\">Live Chat &amp; Customer Support</a> — the storefront widget, the agent roster,\nsession assignment and transfer, and message polling.</li>\n<li class=\"\"><a class=\"\" href=\"https://empora-docs.aoneahsan.com/modules/reference/store-credit\">Store Credit &amp; Wallet</a> — the issued-credit ledger, and how it sits\nbeside Wallet.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2 class=\"anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq\" id=\"wallet-and-store-credit-are-two-ledgers-not-two-versions-of-one-feature\">Wallet and Store Credit are two ledgers, not two versions of one feature<a href=\"https://empora-docs.aoneahsan.com/changelog/documentation-corrections-2026-09-12#wallet-and-store-credit-are-two-ledgers-not-two-versions-of-one-feature\" class=\"hash-link\" aria-label=\"Direct link to Wallet and Store Credit are two ledgers, not two versions of one feature\" title=\"Direct link to Wallet and Store Credit are two ledgers, not two versions of one feature\" translate=\"no\">​</a></h2>\n<p>Documentation that treated Store Credit as a dropped duplicate of Wallet was wrong about what the two\nmodules are for. <strong>Wallet</strong> holds money the customer paid in; <strong>Store Credit</strong> holds value the store issued —\ngoodwill, compensation, the value of a return. They keep separate ledgers because they are not the same\nmoney. At checkout the customer sees one combined balance, and the issued credit is spent first, because it\nis the store's own liability and it can expire.</p>\n<h2 class=\"anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq\" id=\"free-starter-and-professional-no-longer-cap-records\">Free, Starter and Professional no longer cap records<a href=\"https://empora-docs.aoneahsan.com/changelog/documentation-corrections-2026-09-12#free-starter-and-professional-no-longer-cap-records\" class=\"hash-link\" aria-label=\"Direct link to Free, Starter and Professional no longer cap records\" title=\"Direct link to Free, Starter and Professional no longer cap records\" translate=\"no\">​</a></h2>\n<p>The product limits on how many products, orders and customers Empora's modules will process have been\nremoved from the Free, Starter and Professional plans. All five tiers are now unlimited on those three\ncounts.</p>\n<p>Prices, site counts and module counts are unchanged: Free $0 (1 site, 7 modules), Starter $19 (27 modules),\nProfessional $49 (48 modules), Business $99 (3 sites, 68 modules), Enterprise $299 (unlimited sites, all 78).\nImport and export allowances are unchanged too — they remain the practical difference between the tiers. See\n<a class=\"\" href=\"https://empora-docs.aoneahsan.com/pricing\">Plans &amp; pricing</a>.</p>\n<h2 class=\"anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq\" id=\"also-corrected\">Also corrected<a href=\"https://empora-docs.aoneahsan.com/changelog/documentation-corrections-2026-09-12#also-corrected\" class=\"hash-link\" aria-label=\"Direct link to Also corrected\" title=\"Direct link to Also corrected\" translate=\"no\">​</a></h2>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"\">The <a class=\"\" href=\"https://empora-docs.aoneahsan.com/modules/overview\">modules overview</a> listed module names that no longer exist beside their\nreplacements, and claimed the plugin carried \"90+ module directories\". It now lists the 78 real modules by\narea, with the key each one uses.</li>\n<li class=\"\">The <a class=\"\" href=\"https://empora-docs.aoneahsan.com/modules/reference/referral-program\">referral program</a> page said neither reward type had anything\nlistening for it, so no payout was ever delivered. Both types now have a listener, and a referral is marked\npaid only once delivery is confirmed. A store-credit reward is credited to the customer's wallet, so it\nneeds the Wallet module enabled.</li>\n<li class=\"\"><code>llms.txt</code>, which is what AI assistants read, carried the same false module claim and the old plan limits.</li>\n</ul>",
