Free is enough for display. Pro adds checkout enforcement, defaults, bulk/import work and optional location quantities. Before activation:
- Open Leanmerce > Availability > Locations; confirm every active location has the correct Ships orders or Customer pickup capability.
- Open Products > All Products. Filter Unavailable for shipping and pickup and correct products that must remain orderable.
- Reopen a simple product and a variation; record their saved assignments.
- Confirm WooCommerce stock and place one staging checkout order using the current setup.
- Back up the database and keep the authorized Core/Pro ZIPs.
Why this precedes activation: data is retained, but compatible Pro immediately uses assignments to enforce fulfillment. A product with no eligible fulfillment location can become non-purchasable.
