When you install a plugin, Orbit lists what it will have access to. You can’t pick and choose — you approve the whole list or don’t install. So here’s what each Rocketworks plugin asks for, in the words Orbit shows you, and what it uses it for.
In short
- AI Product Recommendations only reads — it never changes your store.
- Bundles creates bundle products and keeps item stock in step.
- Quick Order Pad only reads your catalogue.
- Delivery & Installation updates orders and sends booking emails.
- The 3D builder only reads your store.
- Credit control reads what’s owed, tags risky orders and sends your emails.
- Approve new permissions from the banner after an update.
1. AI Product Recommendations

| View all orders | Not used by the current version — past orders aren’t imported |
| View order details | Learns what’s bought together from new orders, and credits clicks |

It never changes your products, prices, stock, orders or customers.
2. Product Bundles & Kits

|---|---|
| View all products | Searches your catalogue when you add items to a bundle |

3. Quick Order Pad

7. When a plugin needs new permissions
If an update needs more access, the plugin keeps working on its previous version until you approve. You’ll see a banner on the plugin’s page — “… has been updated and needs new permissions to keep all features working.” Press Review permissions to see only what’s new, then Approve. Your settings and data aren’t affected.
Good to know
- Uninstalling a plugin revokes all of its access straight away.
- Orbit only lets a plugin use what’s on this list. Staff with read-only accounts get a read-only version of the plugin.
