Version 0.1.x — Initial Release Series

The 0.1.x series is the initial release of Influenzic. It ships the complete two-sided influencer marketplace feature set.

Core Features (0.1.x)

• Two-sided marketplace — separate inzc_brand and inzc_influencer WordPress roles with full onboarding flows, capability gating, and backend redirect protection.
• Campaigns — brands create and manage campaigns with fixed or range (negotiable) compensation, deliverable types, platform targeting, niche selection, and slot limits. Full status lifecycle: draft → active → paused → cancelled.
• Applications — influencers browse and apply to open campaigns. Brands review, accept, or reject applications. Application-level negotiation (up to 5 counter-offer rounds) for range-rate campaigns.
• Invitations — brands directly invite specific influencers with configurable acceptance deadlines. Invite cart for multi-invite batch checkout.
• Projects — each accepted application or invitation creates a project row binding the brand, campaign, and influencer. Full deliverable submission, approval, revision request, and posting confirmation flow.
• Post Monitor — automated daily cron re-verifies that submitted post URLs remain live. A reputation penalty is applied if a post is detected as removed.
• Wallet & Escrow — two-column wallet model (balance + frozen_amount). Funds are escrowed at checkout and released to influencer on project completion minus platform commission. Processing fee charged to brand at checkout.
• Payment Gateways — built-in Stripe (test/live mode with signed webhooks), PayPal, and Manual (bank transfer) gateways. Third-party gateway add-ons via the inzc_payment_gateways filter.
• Quality Score System — asymptotic scoring formula (0–100) with six influencer creator levels (Starter through Top Creator). Permanent multiplicative penalties for 1–2 star reviews, missed deadlines, removed posts, and disputes ruled against the influencer.
• Social Account Verification — influencers connect Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube accounts. Bio-code verification for each platform. Minimum follower threshold and admin approval queue per platform.
• Messaging — two thread types: general (brand–influencer DMs) and transaction (project-tied conversations). Daily DM limit, image attachments, emoji picker, quick replies.
• Notifications — per-event in-app and email notification toggles. Immediate, hourly, or daily email digest modes.
• Dispute Resolution — either party can open a dispute on an active project. Admin reviews evidence and resolves with one of: brand refunded, influencer paid, split decision, or dismissed.
• Reviews — mutual post-completion reviews (brand reviews influencer, influencer reviews brand). Star ratings feed the quality score. Reviews are public on profiles.
• AI Assistant — campaign brief generator, campaign name suggester, and influencer bio rewriter. Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini as backend providers.
• Admin Panels — full Redux Framework admin UI covering all settings: general, payments, commissions, AI, messaging, emails, content guidelines, and more. Plus 35 custom DB tables for all platform data.
• REST API — full internal REST API under /wp-json/influenzic/v1/ covering campaigns, influencers, applications, invitations, projects, wallet, messaging, notifications, and webhooks.
