Seamlessly sync your WooCommerce store products and inventory with our central marketplace using a secure, instant QR code handshake.

== Description ==

Platform Connect is the ultimate WooCommerce synchronization tool for merchants who want to sell their products on our central marketplace without the hassle of manually recreating inventory.

Instead of dealing with complex API keys and configuration screens, Platform Connect introduces a revolutionary **QR Code Handshake**. Simply install this plugin, open our marketplace Mobile App, scan the QR code on your screen, and your stores are instantly linked!

### Features
* **Instant QR Authentication:** No need to copy/paste API keys or Webhook URLs.
* **Real-time Product Sync:** Whenever you create or update a product in WooCommerce, it automatically syncs to your marketplace vendor account.
* **Order Fetching:** Receive orders placed on the central marketplace directly.
* **Secure Token Handshake:** Uses stateless, encrypted tokens to establish the initial connection.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
