Duzz Custom Portal is designed to help small service-based businesses dynamically interact with their customers right from their website. Our Stripe payments integration does what no other plugin can do: make customized payments on a project by project basis. Let your website work for you. Engage in real-time chats, foster stronger customer relationships, and enhance your revenue potential, all in one unified platform. With Duzz Custom Portal, you’re not just waiting around for contact form inquiries – you’re proactively reaching out, and most importantly, offering a payment flexibility that no other plugin currently offers. Distinctively standing apart from other Stripe-integrated platforms, Duzz Custom Portal pioneers a dynamic payment system. Instead of restricting businesses to fixed product prices or generic donation sums, our portal is the first of its kind to empower businesses with per-project invoicing. Tailor your charges, adding line items for every project facet, and presenting your clients with a clear, customized invoice. This powerful, highly customizable plugin comes ready to use out of the box, transforming your website from a static display into a customer outreach and connection tool. Features Stripe payments integration Status Feed for customers to track their project progress like tracking a FedEx Package Progress Bar showing each stage as the project progresses Data connections between Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and WPForms Tag customers in the feed to send them email updates Invite customers to the project Bot updates when project is updated Auto welcome message for website visitors Security Duzz Custom Portal operates on a zero trust system, so your customers aren’t logging into the WordPress backend, which could be a security vulnerability. Customers don’t create an account or password, a factor that often leads to a 30% loss in sales as customers don’t want to create an account. Instead, they get a unique tracking number and link, just like a FedEx Package. The plugin is designed to allow the addition of a password system if needed in the future. For security purposes, limited data is included on the page your customers view. But it is possible to update the code if you know PHP so that fields and data are viewable by the customer. That’s not currently included in the plugin. Duzz is only as secure as your hosting provider and WordPress security plugins. Avoid storing sensitive customer information. Do not collect social security numbers or other personal ID numbers. Requirements While Duzz Custom Portal works out of the box, for full functionality, we suggest the following: – Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) basic version from WordPress repository – WPForms basic for simple fields for Name and Email – WPForms Plus for fancy fields that allow full Duzz functionality – Hosting provider should allow PHP emails as Duzz does not currently use SMTP. -Hosting provider that allows you to turn off server side caching. WEB HOSTING REQUIREMENTS Because of these extra requirements for Duzz Custom Portal, many hosting providers might not be compatible. Your site will become more dynamic and increase the usage the CPU usage of your site as your site will get more usage with all the customer interactions. The main issue though is that since Duzz Custom Portal makes your site more dynamic and interactive, any hosting provider with heavy server side caching could prevent customer pages from updating. Avoid GoDaddy Managed WordPress as they have the most heavy server side caching. GoDaddy Managed WordPress does not allow you to turn off server side caching. We recommend Siteground as they allow you to turn off server side caching with their SG Optimizer plugin. They also allow for 300 PHP emails per hour. And they are recommended for security purposes.
