About this plugin
XCodeSol Buyback Shop transforms WooCommerce from a product-selling store into a mobile-phone buyback platform. Instead of buying products, customers:
- Select a used phone (manufacturer, model, storage, carrier, variant).
- Answer condition questions.
- Receive an estimated buyback offer.
- Submit the device and receive an inbound shipping label.
- Track the shipment to your warehouse.
- Receive a final offer after inspection.
- Accept and get paid, or reject and receive the device back.
WooCommerce remains the underlying commerce framework: customer accounts, orders, emails, My Account, HPOS, and REST are all used through their official APIs. XCSBC adds a buyback-case layer that tracks the full lifecycle.
