Three RCA pieces often sit on the same site and do different jobs. Swap their responsibilities in your head and you will debug the wrong plugin with confidence.

What is Bridge responsible for?

Bridge maps OS Services Booking service IDs to J2Commerce product IDs through sid_map. After a valid hold on a mapped service, it adds the mapped product to cart and shows Continue to Checkout. It hardens embedded osbtable calendars on modern PHP and Joomla. Bridge equals booking to cart map.

What is RCA J2C Storefront responsible for?

RCA J2C Storefront is Pro display. It draws product catalog modules and shared card layouts. It can show locked dependents and optional OSB duration on cards when a Bridge sid_map exists. Display lock is not cart enforcement. RCA J2C Storefront does not replace sid_map or hold logic.

What is RCA J2C ConditionalProducts responsible for?

RCA J2C ConditionalProducts is Pro rules. Qualifying products unlock dependents. Cart and checkout enforce those rules through J2Commerce - RCA J2C ConditionalProducts. An optional OSB route gate through System - RCA J2C ConditionalProducts OSB can keep booking closed until the shopper qualifies. Bridge never reads those eligibility rules.

Can I run Bridge alone?

Yes. OS Services Booking plus J2Commerce plus Bridge with sid_map is enough when anyone who can hold may buy the mapped product. Add RCA J2C Storefront when you want a catalog presentation layer. Add RCA J2C ConditionalProducts when purchase or booking must wait for a qualifier.

How do vendor extensions fit?

OS Services Booking owns services, slots, and holds. J2Commerce owns products, cart, tax, coupons, and payment plugins such as RCA J2C Stripe For J2Commerce. Bridge does not replace either vendor stack; it connects them with explicit IDs you maintain.

What about images and documentation assets?

Marketing PNGs live at https://recreatinganew.com/images/rca/osbj2c/ and copy into the plugin media folder after install. Use them in articles explaining your booking-plus-shop flow; they are not required for cart behavior.
