Secure WooCommerce multistore synchronization with a fresh architecture, signed inter-store requests, queue processing, pricing rules, connected site management, and built-in exports.

== Description ==

Kitgenix MultiStore Sync is a fresh WooCommerce multistore plugin designed to replace older master-child sync stacks with a cleaner and more secure foundation.

This first delivery includes:

* A new plugin architecture with modular services instead of entity-specific monolith classes.
* HMAC-signed REST communication between connected stores.
* A site registry with inbound, outbound, or bidirectional connections.
* Product synchronization with images, categories, tags, attributes, downloads, variations, stock, and whitelisted meta.
* Coupon synchronization.
* Order import and refund import endpoints.
* Missing-product cloning during order import, using product snapshots included in the order payload.
* Bulk sync batching that stores product batches and feeds them into the queue in chunks.
* Network-style reporting for imported orders, failed jobs, and batch activity.
* Queue processing with retries and log storage.
* Per-site and per-product pricing rules including percentage markup, fixed markup, fixed price, and rounding.
* Admin pages for settings, connected sites, queue operations, and CSV exports.
* Product-level site targeting from the WooCommerce product editor.

Compared with older multistore plugins, this version improves security and maintainability by:

* Replacing unsigned AJAX-based sync calls with signed REST requests.
* Centralizing settings, site data, queue jobs, and logs.
* Adding retry-aware background processing instead of transient-only workflows.
* Enforcing capability checks and nonce validation for admin actions.
* Keeping transport, admin, persistence, and sync logic separate.

== Installation ==

1. Install and activate WooCommerce.
2. Install this plugin on every store that will participate in sync.
3. Activate the plugin.
4. Open MultiStore Sync > Settings on each store and copy the local Site UUID and Shared Secret.
5. Open MultiStore Sync > Connected Sites on the master store and add the remote stores.
6. Choose connection direction, capabilities, sync settings, and pricing strategy per store.
7. Edit a product and choose the connected stores that should receive it.

== Security Model ==

Each site connection stores:

* The remote site URL
* The remote site UUID
* A shared secret used to sign requests
* Direction rules that control inbound and outbound traffic

Every sync request includes:

* Site UUID header
* Timestamp header
* HMAC signature header

Requests outside the configured TTL window or with invalid signatures are rejected.

== Current Scope ==

The new plugin already covers the core sync foundation, bulk sync batching, missing-product cloning during order import, and reporting screens. Remaining parity work is now concentrated in deeper compatibility layers such as WPML-specific translation handling, more advanced analytics views, and broader import/export edge cases.
