Extends WooCommerce API for Business Central integration via Synfynal Connector. Requires Business Central/WooCommerce Connector from AppSource.

== Description ==
Business Central Connector enhances WooCommerce by providing additional support for handling metadata during REST API operations.  

This plugin is designed as a **technical, supporting component** for integrations with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. It enables updates to metadata (like customer roles) during API inserts that the standard WooCommerce API does not expose.

**Key features:**
* Extends WooCommerce REST API to support custom metadata modifications.
* Provides a foundation for integrations that require extended API functionality.
* Lightweight and compatible with WooCommerce core.
* Activation and deactivation hooks automatically manage user_role metadata.

The WooCommerce Connector offers you the best of two worlds: the easy to use, the WordPress e-commerce solution WooCommerce that allows you to set up an online store to sell your goods combined with the business process flows of the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

**The WooCommerce Connector will help you in the following ways:**

* Save time: Avoid tedious double entry, human errors and delays by automating your process.
* Unparalleled accuracy: The age of manual entry is behind us. Transactions should seamlessly synchronize between systems avoiding human error.
* Two-way data sync: Synchronize Woocommerce directly to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central without managing a separate tool.
* Multistore sync: Synchronize multiple WooCommerce stores to one Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central company.

== Installation ==
1. Upload the `businesscentralconnector` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
3. No additional configuration is required; it operates automatically in the background.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this plugin synchronize data with Business Central? =
No. Data synchronization is handled by external integration tools, such as the **WooCommerce Connector available on Microsoft AppSource**. This plugin only extends WooCommerce API support to enable such integrations.

= Can I use this plugin for other integrations? =
Yes. Any integration that requires extended WooCommerce metadata handling can benefit from this plugin.

== Screenshots ==
1. Example metadata payload in the WooCommerce REST API request showing `user_role`.
2. Metadata modifications applied automatically after API insert.
