## Description

CustomCat Helper is a companion plugin for WooCommerce stores which are connected
to the print-on-demand provider CustomCat. It provides several helpful features 
to automate processes in your store.

### Stock Sync

Automatically fetch stock status for any of your CustomCat products and update your
store to match! Can be configured to run at various intervals, optionally notifying
the store admin when changes are made.

### Tracking Number Sync

If you use a supported order tracking plugin, tracking numbers can be automatically
pulled from the order notes and saved to the order. Currently the only supported
plugin is AST.

## Installation

You will need a CustomCat API key in order to enable stock sync. This API key is
not related to your WooCommerce integration. You will need to create a separate 
API key for your store that will enable this plugin to fetch catalog data from CustomCat.

### Steps

 1. Log in to CustomCat and go to the [API Connect](https://app.customcat.com/connect/api)
    page
 2. Enter a Store Name and Store URL, then click Connect
 3. From the store settings page, go to the API tab
 4. Copy your Read-Only key, and paste it into the API Key field in the CustomCat Helper
    settings page
 5. Save your settings
 6. _You can ignore warnings about missing payment information, etc. This API key is
    only used for stock sync, orders are still handled by your WooCommerce integration_

Completely new to WordPress, eCommerce, and CustomCat, – this little plug-in is 
saving me hours a week trying to keep stock listing correct. Thank you to the designer
of this project!
