## Beschreibung

Catalog Sync connects your WooCommerce store to wholesale vendor catalogs and keeps
your products up to date — automatically.

Point it at a vendor, download their catalog, pick what you want to sell, map the
fields to WooCommerce, and hit sync. Products appear in your store as fully built
variable products with images, sizes, colors, brands, and pricing. No CSV imports,
no copy-paste, no manual data entry.

**How it works:**

 1. **Connect** — add your vendor credentials and test the connection
 2. **Download** — pull the latest catalog data from the vendor
 3. **Import** — stage the raw data into organized tables
 4. **Filter** — choose which brands, categories, or products to include
 5. **Map** — assign vendor fields to WooCommerce product fields
 6. **Update** — sync everything into WooCommerce as live products

Each step runs independently from a single admin console. You control what gets 
imported, how fields are mapped, and when products sync.

**Built for real catalogs:**

 * Handles large vendor datasets (100K+ SKUs) with stream-to-disk downloads and 
   batch processing
 * Creates WooCommerce variable products with color and size as selectable attributes
 * Downloads and attaches product images, color-specific variation photos, and brand
   logos
 * Preserves your manual edits — sync never overwrites categories you’ve assigned
   by hand
 * SKU-based updates — re-running sync updates existing products instead of creating
   duplicates

**Vendor-neutral architecture:**

Catalog Sync is not locked to one vendor. The plugin discovers installed vendor 
modules and adapts to each vendor’s data format. Vendor-specific details (connection
type, endpoints, field names, table joins) are declared in configuration — not hardcoded
in the sync engine.

**Free vs Pro:**

The free plugin includes the full sync engine with S&S Activewear — connect, download,
filter, map, and sync products with no restrictions and no license required.

[Catalog Sync Pro](https://informedio.com) unlocks additional vendors (SanMar and
more), automated background syncing via Action Scheduler, and priority support. 
Pro licenses start at $99/year with a 15-day free trial.

## FAQ

### Does this replace WooCommerce CSV imports?

Yes. Catalog Sync provides a controlled pipeline instead of manual CSV imports. 
Data is staged, filtered, and mapped before it reaches WooCommerce.

### Does the plugin support large vendor catalogs?

Yes. The system uses stream-to-disk downloads, batch processing, and staged imports
to handle catalogs with 100K+ SKUs.

### Does it support multiple vendors?

Yes. Each vendor is a self-contained module with its own connection, staging tables,
and configuration. The core engine is vendor-neutral.

### Does the plugin support WooCommerce variations?

Yes. Products are grouped into variable products with color and size as variation
attributes. Each SKU maps to one variation with the correct image.

### Will sync overwrite my manual product edits?

Categories you assign manually are preserved on existing products. Sync only assigns
categories when a product has none. Product names, descriptions, and prices follow
the mapping profile.

### Does it support brand logos?

Yes. Brand logos from the vendor catalog are attached to WooCommerce brand taxonomy
terms automatically during sync.

### What vendor formats are supported?

The plugin supports REST API (JSON) and SFTP/CSV vendor connections through its 
module system. Each vendor module declares its own transport, endpoints, and data
format.

### Is S&S Activewear really free?

Yes. S&S Activewear works fully with no license, no time limit, and no feature restrictions.
Download, filter, map, sync, images, variations — everything works.

### What does Pro add?

Pro unlocks additional vendors (SanMar is the first, with more planned), automated
background syncing via Action Scheduler, and priority support. Free trial included.

### How does licensing work?

Purchase a Pro license at informedio.com. Enter your license key on the Catalog 
Sync Dashboard in your WordPress admin. The plugin validates it against our server
and unlocks premium features. Licenses are cached locally and re-checked weekly.

## Änderungsprotokoll

#### 2.2.0

Framework

 * Catalog builder rewritten — reads join declarations from vendor_endpoints; supports
   both multi-table and single-table vendor layouts through the same code path
 * vendor_endpoints schema extended with join_to, join_on, and join_type columns;
   join relationships declared in vendor manifests and seeded at install

Product sync

 * Executor reads normalized catalog columns directly — removed hardcoded S&S staging-
   name translation; all vendors sync through the same deterministic code path
 * Variable product grouping uses a canonical style-key resolver for vendor-neutral
   style identification
 * Self-healing variation upsert — stale wrong-shape products are automatically 
   cleaned up and rebuilt on re-run

Images

 * Image Manager recognizes absolute_url source mode so vendors with fully-qualified
   image URLs work correctly
 * Color Image and Brand Image added as mapping targets — per-color variation photos
   and brand logos now populate for all vendors

UI

 * Fixed elapsed timer regression that caused the timer to keep incrementing after
   job completion
 * Filter and mapping example values now work for any staging layout
 * Import tab supports per-file cards for FTP-transport vendors

Tools

 * Database Migration rebuilt as discovery-driven per-vendor Repair system with 
   Run All
 * Vendor selector auto-submits on change

Licensing

 * Pro license system — activate, deactivate, and validate licenses from the Dashboard
 * S&S Activewear works fully without a license; additional vendors require a Pro
   license
 * License status cached locally with weekly background re-check
 * Action Scheduler automation gated to Pro Developer and Agency tiers
