== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/shopcentral` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.
3. Navigate to the **ShopCentral** menu in your dashboard.
4. Your current site will be added by default to the Store Manager.
5. To connect an external store, generate REST API keys (Consumer Key and Consumer Secret) on your other WooCommerce site (`WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > REST API`) with 'Read/Write' permissions.
6. Click 'Add Store' in the ShopCentral dashboard and enter the external store's URL and API keys.
7. Switch between active and connected stores to manage them using the shop selector on the top nav bar of the ShopCentral Dashboard.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Is my data sent to a third-party server? =
No. ShopCentral connects your "Command Center" WordPress site directly to your other WooCommerce stores using the WooCommerce REST API. Your store data is not stored on any third-party servers. The optional usage tracking function only collects basic anonymous plugin usage telemetry, which can be easily disabled from the settings.

= Does it sync all orders to my main database? =
No. To preserve your main site's performance, ShopCentral acts as a remote proxy viewer. It fetches remote data on-the-fly when you view the dashboard, preventing massive database bloat on your command center site.

= Is it compatible with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS)? =
Yes, ShopCentral is fully compatible with WooCommerce HPOS (formerly Custom Order Tables).
