Official Gazette-verified Public Holidays, Full Moon Poya calculations, and WooCommerce delivery buffering for Sri Lanka.

== Description ==

**SpecialDays Sri Lanka** connects your WordPress and WooCommerce store to the microsecond gazetted calendar engine for the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka (Asia/Colombo timezone).

### Core Features
* **Smart WooCommerce Shipping Protection**: Automatically appends a +1 business day delivery buffer to checkout shipping options on gazetted Mercantile and Public holidays.
* **Central Bank (CBSL) Clearing Alerts**: Informs customers choosing Direct Bank Transfer / CEFT that inter-bank clearing is suspended on bank holidays.
* **Storefront Festive Banners & Modals**: Auto-promotes Sinhala & Tamil New Year, Vesak Poya, Christmas, Thai Pongal, and Ramadan without manual theme edits.
* **Trilingual**: Seamless support for English, Sinhala (සිංහල), and Tamil (தமிழ்).
* **High-Speed Transients**: Zero impact on your store's page load speed via 1-hour fast transient caching.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Do I need an API key? =
You can test out of the box with public rate limits, or paste your free production key from https://specialdays.lk/dashboard for higher limits.

No. The plugin uses official WordPress hooks (`wp_footer`, `woocommerce_package_rates`, and shortcodes).
